Josh Rosenthal is a music fan who has worn many hats over the years. He's been a DJ and a major-label promotion man; today, he's the owner and guiding light behind Tompkins Square, a label that primarily releases reissues. Rosenthal's new memoir, The Record Store Of The Mind, explores the music he discovers, falls in love with and reissues, plus much more from his years of crate-digging.

In a conversation with World Cafe host David Dye, Rosenthal discusses a few of the artists covered in his book — including guitarist Harvey Mandel and songwriter Ron Davies — and shares which popular band he never "got."
