Re: [ARSCLIST] They're still making vinyl

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Record Archive in Rochester is also worth checking out, but bring earplugs. The 
old store on Mount Hope closed last year (pity)..I went into their other store 
once, couldn't find anything I might want, couldn't stand the noise long enough 
to do any browsing. But they got tons of vinyl. Ditto Record Theatre in Buffalo 
(don't know if they have any other locations currently, despite the listings of 
Rochester and Syracuse on their bags..both locations are long gone).
