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?

Drjoe,

I have had terrific luck with Elusive Disc. His listed prices are usually 10% lower than most and the service has been excellent! He had a 20% off sale back a couple of months ago, I spent several hundred dollars on that one..

"Beatnick Records" on Blvd. St. Denis in Montreal, and "Last Vestige Records" on Qual Street in Albany, NY are two great shops where you can spend hours browsing through the racks.

Another highest recommendation possible for Elusive Disc.
Service has been unfailingly perfect for the past seven years, with individual help provided in any of the situations that I have had.

Decatur Street New Orleans.Years back I found an entire building full of Lp's.They were closed for the day and I had to catch an early flight out.I was never able to get back that way and that was pre Katrina so I dont know if it still stands.
