Record Stores (advice) (senior clutchfans please post)

didn't you say in your OP, "I don't care about prices, as long as they're good albums" ?

 

Long gone! Sucks, that was my all time favorite store to buy music. Bruce had things that you just couldn't find anywhere else, as I'm sure the futants can attest.

 

For those of you asking about Record Rack... wow, I used to damn near live there in college. I loved that store for imports and singles. I was Googling to see if it was still around and came across this sad article :

Yes, you cannot compete with free!! Sad, that place was like a mecca for 80's/90's music for all us suburban kids.

 

Yeah. It's spelled Vinal Edge. Veterans @ Bammel.

 

Cactus is my go to record store. Great selection of new release vinyl, as well as a good bit of older used vinyl.

 

YESSSS!!!!!

I knew vinyl would make a huge comeback some day, and all my old albums would be worth a fortune!!!

I have approximately 300-400 old LP's from the 70's and I'm willing to sell all of them for $25 each. I'm sorry but I don't want to break up the collection, so it has to be all or nothing. These records have a great deal of sentimental value attached to them, but I am willing to let them go if you are willing to pay.

The albums are good albums(at least I thought they were when I bought them)

YESSSS!!!!!

 

Roxy Music
Van Morrison
ZZ Top
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Yes
Thin Lizzy
Beatles
Doors
Elvis Costello
The Cars
Kansas
Supertramp
Pink Floyd
Talking Heads

and many more, but you get the idea. Most are in very good condition, but some of the album covers do show some wear.

 

Aren't many out where I live, so I usually go to Half-Price Books or buy from reputable sellers on eBay (or other online retailers for brand new vinyl releases). I've heard good things about Cactus, though.
