Exercise your RIGHT to VOTE!!

[7/4]

What I can't get imediately from Downtown Music Gallery, I get from CD Universe then maybe Amazon.

[wesbed]

I voted 'Other.'

I like CD Universe for it's pricing, service, and in-stock items. I like Cheap-CDs for it's pricing. I've never had a problem with Cheap-CDs. I've read other posts of people complaining about a lack of customer service from Cheap-CDs. Also, Cheap-CDs doesn't always have items in stock.

Support your local bricks and mortar. You'll be glad you did when you decide, at 9:00PM on Saturday night, you just GOTTA pick up a copy of Blue Train.

On the other hand, we don't all have local record shops that stock Blue Train...

[jazzbo]

I said other because . . . mostly it's other, cduniverse, worldsrecords, and Tower locally.

[Chuck Nessa]

Strange group to choose from. Is this some misguided marketing research project?

[montg]

alldirect.com for anything other than just-released items. I like two brick/mortar shops in St. Louis (vintage vinyl and euclid records).

True....

[sheldonm]

I voted other; I have been buying a lot more on-line (CD Universe, Dusty Groove, Mosaic and some times Amazon) in the past couple years. I also shop at places like the Jazz Record Mart and Dusty Groove (those bastards!) when in Chicago, which is frequently. There are not many places to buy jazz recordings in Indy so I shop at Borders if I buy something locally (although their prices are quite high). I have also shopped at both Euclid Records/Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis as my sister lives there and I visit several times a year.

While were on the subject, any good record/cd stores in Detroit???? I'm going there this weekend to see Donald Byrd B) and have some time to shop!

I would guess most poeple on this board have about a half dozen copies of Blue Train in their current collections !!!

Agree.

[catesta]

Another good question is, why is this in forums discussion?

I have only a single copy of Blue Train. And, it ain't the RVG.

Because TheJazzMan is a newbe with two posts?

[connoisseur series500]

I guess I'm pretty loyal to Dusty Groove (the bastards!)

[chris olivarez]

CD Universe,BMG and Dusty Groove(The Bastards!!!!).

[jlhoots]

CD Universe, Dusty Groove, Cadence

Occasionally Red Trumpet & Music Selection

[Alfred]

CD Universe for the NOT copy protected Blue Notes

AMAZON for low price CD's & DVD's

2001 for special priced box sets and other low price CD's (brick & ortar, not the site!)

[EKE BBB]

Where´s

CDUniverse

Worldsrecords

Controtempojazz

TrueBlue / Mosaic

CheapCD

JazzLoft

CDBaby

Zweit....

and many more???

Definitely, this must be a "misguided promotional campaign"!

[Claude]

Like Alfred:

CD Universe in the US

Amazon.de and Zweitausendeins.de in Germany

But I buy not only in the US to get non-copyprotected versions but also because of the lower prices an the current $ rate. Full price CDs generally cost 17-22 Euro in Europe, and only $14-18 in the US (12-15 Euro).

Similar thoughts crossed my mind. This same poll (with similar, but not identical choices) was started on AAJ, by the same user, within an hour of when this thread was created here.

[makpjazz57]

I buy from the usuals - CDuniverse and amazon. I also check cdbaby.com every few days. I've been surprised by what I've found there - Clare Fischer, Joe Wilder, for example.

Also, when I'm looking for hard to find or out of print stuff (particularly LPs), I'll go to musicstack.com.

Here are my two favorites. Great selection and prices. They are really the same company.

Doubletime Jazz

The Music Resource

Doubletime has a list of what they consider to be the 100 most historically significant Jazz recordings.

I am interested to know how board members feel about this list.

"Other"

CD Universe is my Jazz CD site of choice. Why weren't they listed? But I'm also still enamored of brick-and-morter; ah, the rough, bitter pungency of brick and the crumbly crunchiness of morter. Yum.

[Brad]

I'm not familiar with most of these sites. Anyway, I prefer cd universe, hands down over amazon. Where's jazz loft? That's a good site, esp. for SteepleChase.
