Where are you buying new vinyl?


One of life's necessary evils just came good for me - now every man and his dog is into selling vinyl again I found a wonderful use for my AMEX points this week I've been building up for a while - I treated myself to 500 bucks of barnes and noble gift cards and spent the lot on the good olde black stuff!

Based in NYC we still have a few independents left: my favs: Rebel Rebel, Other Music, & J&R Music World (who btw seem to pull out all kinds of oddities that have been collecting dust in their basement for years, a few weeks ago they had a bunch of sealed copies of the front/nixon interviews which actually turned out to be a fascinating listen!)

A recent visit to Boston burned a huge hole in my pocket (paid with my CC of course!) to Newbury Comics - they have a wonderful selection of pretty much everything out right now.

So where is everyone getting their stuff - bricks and mortar stores or online?
sub question - Has anyone bought vinyl from everyones favorite hi-fi store: best buy (!) - and did the experience affect you psychologically in some way?

Houston has a great vinyl store for new vinyl; Cactus Records on Shepard, and I just found one around the corner that I had never seen Black Dog Records, that has been there for 20+ yrs. They have new vinyl, but specialize in great copies of old vinyl.

I also buy a ton from MusicDirect and some from Rhino and Amazon.
Wow, there is something worth visiting Dallas for now.

Time to fire up the hot rod and head up I-45, for the 2 1/2 hour ride from Houston.
DavidSSS, another good reason to visit the coolest (metaphorically speaking) place on earth; Australia. Melbourne here I come!!!
