Cue
Records - Excellent Philadelphia record store with a superb selection
of downtempo and a knowledgeable staff. |
 |
|
Groove Distribution - Extensive stock, good service. No wonder
it seems to be the preferred online store for so many downtempo DJs. |
 |
|
Dusty
Groove - The online arm of this Chicago record store has a veeeeerrrry
tempting selection of vinyl and a decent selection of CDs. |
| DJ
Hut - One of Washington, D.C.'s few remaining vinyl-oriented record
stores. |
 |
|
Rough
Trade - Legendary London record store with branches in the Notting
Hill and Covent Garden areas. The store also does mailorder. |
 |
|
Reckless
Records - Alas, the soul and dance branch of this London record
store (at 30 Berwick Street) does not do mailorder, due to the high
turnover of its stock. |
Sister
Ray - London record store.
Music
and Video Exchange - London record store.
| Tokyo
Record Hunting Service - As it bills itself, "used CDs for cheap
from Tokyo, Japan." Keep in mind that since new Japanese CDs are ridiculously
expensive, used ones cost only slightly less than a new disc in the
U.S. But the selection (Shibuya-kei) is pretty good, and for Japanese
releases the prices are very attractive. |
 |
|
Forced
Exposure - Somerville, Massachusetts-based online music store
that provides very detailed descriptions of its stock. |
 |
|
Bent
Crayon - Cleveland, Ohio-based online music store with a good
selection of electronic music and detailed descriptions of items in
its catalogue. |
| Joe's
Record Paradise - Rockville, Maryland-based store with attractive
prices. Good for finding older records. |
| YesAsia.com
- Formerly AsiaCD.com, YesAsia has a music section that offers a selection
of CDs by Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean artists. In addition
to Japanese CD pressings, it also offers CDs intended for the "overseas"
(i.e., Asian overseas) market, which are substantially cheaper than
those intended for the Japanese market. It also has VCDs, a low-cost
video format popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong that plays both in CD-ROM
drives and in DVD players. |
|
CD
Japan - Japan-based mailorder company.
