Boston Vinyl?


Heading to Boston next week to tour some universities. I'm going to be near B.C., B.U. and Brandeis.
Can you recommend any good places to hunt used LPs? Looking for rock, 50's&60's jazz, & classical. Cheers,

Nuggets is (and has been for many years) located in Kenmore Square, not far from B.U., and has a decent vinyl selection.
Spencer, If you want to head to suburban Boston, I find some decent stuff at Deja Vu records in Natick. They are on Rt. 135. A lot of records of all types and varying condition. Its run by a very nice older woman and the prices are quite reasonable...
If you do stop by, tell her Jerry sent you. Good luck.
It's been a year or so since I was at Stereo Jacks but I remember mostly Jazz in his shop. Rushton's suggestion is very good. Ask around, I'm sure there are several stores worth looking into.

If you get hungry and you're around Somerville be sure to call on Redbone's Bar-b-que! It's just off the Davis Square T station.
Spencer, my information may be out of date, but Stereo Jacks and Looney Tunes are the names of two stores I carry around in my PDA. These are the directions I got from a thread some time ago:

Looney Tunes and Stereo Jacks
Drive up Mass Ave, and park at a meter when you reach Berklee College of Music. At the intersection there, to the left, is Looney Tunes. When done there, continue up Mass Ave, until it curves around (be careful, it's kinda tricky). On the left side about a mile down is Stereo Jacks. When done there, backtrack on Mass Ave, and park in Harvard Square. Find any music shop, and they will have a map of all of the record shops within walking distance (Planet records, Newbury comics, etc). That will take about a day.
