Where do you get your records?

What shops?

Locally? Internet?

Myself:

For freeform, trancecore, and happy hardcore, local shops, prove useless (except for the occasional RARE find). But when I'm looking for techno, or Nu-Nrg, otis proves the only way to go. Although, Vinyl does have an excellent selection too.

Internet wise, I exclusivly use, www.imorecords.com. They are pretty quick to respond to emails, ships without problems. I've only had one small little problem with them before. After a few orders with them, shipping is no worries.

Meh, I'm bored at work, and excited over a new order of records.

yah, local shops are pretty good if you are looking for fairly plentiful stuff (i.e. trance, house, etc), But the net is freaking excellent for kick-ass hard to find stuff and just all sorts of weird stuff that just kicks your ass when you hear it.

Unfortunately, hearing samples of the records in realplayer isn't quite as nice as cranking it on a pair of phones in the shop, but.... locally, usually boomtown.

(tho, getting a big stack of vinyl in the mail is sooooo nice! haha)

yah, I think it's prob'ly cause if you get a bunch at once you don't really take as much time for each of them to sink in and really be enjoyed and explored as an individual record.

Record Stores: NEW SHIT boomtown, OLS SHIT Vinyl.
I don't waste my time @ the other ones, cept the odd album @ HMV on robson.

Online Mainly...

juno.co.uk

htfr.co.uk

plasticfantastic.co.uk

hooj.com <-- promo service (and no its not all hooj records. tons of labels, 10 kilo, mob etc..)

then a couple promo lists, one by Hamptons.. <-- private one

and just general shit mailed to ma door.

But after the sept.11 incident, packages are taking 2x as long to get here unless you fed-EX, so beware.

Kyles, I thought HMV didn't carry vinyl anymore.

And I forgot to mention Virgin and Scratch Records. They always have some good finds too, but it's always a little too much than I'm willing to pay. But I find good *new* ambient and experimentalish music there(scratch).
