I remember buying some Marine bands at Manny's, in 1972. they were $2.50 apiece.I used to take the train from Long Island into the city and head to Time Square (1973ish time frame) This was music store paradise with Manny's being the "mecca" . There was store on West 43rd called terminal music. The guy would sell me 3 marine bands for 10 bucks and change. Ahhhh, the good ol' days :-)
