This episode of the Goldmine Podcast's "Record Shop Talk" will center on prog rock and, by chance, a little-known British band from the early 1980s called Zed (whose debut 1981 LP was found by the staff in a budget bin for only a few bucks). Besides wondering about the aforementioned band's brief place in rock history, where does "prog rock" specifically fit in a record shop? In other words, should it have its own record section or bin? Is it a genre that is really that easy to define? Goldmine's editor, Patrick Prince, and Luna Record Shop employee Holden Russiano attempt to get to the root of these questions as two music enthusiasts who have never collected rock records with the term "prog" in mind.
