i went to one in Seattle a few weeks ago when I was visiting my friend. It was huge, and had everything i wanted but could never find elsewhere. Forgot the name but it was something like "Everyday Records". I had to actually quit looking around because i was in danger of buying more than i could fit in my carry on luggage home.

I miss Tower. Used to be one in Atlanta across the street from where I work. It was a tough loss. It is nice having the internet though. I can pretty much find anything if i want it enough and can afford it.

When i was stationed at Ft. Lewis,Wa (86-88) there was a chain of used record stores by the name of Golden Oldies,don't know if they still exist or not.I visited the one of them often & bought quite a few LP's while i was there.I also bought several from Tower as well.

If I'm being anal, it seems that "vinyl record" would be the most accurate term for the thing described. "LP" specifies the length and "vinyl" specifies material. Neither completely specifies format. "Record" specifies a grouping of tracks that can be recorded onto multiple kinds of material and as such is too general. But, really, who cares?

As far as my favorite place to get records, there's only one record store in town and it's very much like how Steve described Criminal Records. When I do buy vinyl records (of which there's not too much), I get them there, if I don't borrow them from the jazz dept. at the local university.

Yup...golden Oldies still exists in that old brick building...There are a ton of record/vinyl/LP shops in Seattle...Silver Platters and Easy Street are big. Jive Time Records in Freemont is very cool place. there are some smaller underground places too, specialize in 2-3 genres usually.

To be totally anal. A 'record' is in my mind, and certainly in the teenage record buying version of me, a vinyl record and not a tape or cassette or later a CD.  A record is not short for a recording at least it became the actual thing rather than the music recorded on it.  But, really who cares?
