in small defense of sonic groove. all of these "classic" records you people are buying are "used" records. they are out of print for the most part. they come from the employees personal collections and/or bought from others. be lucky and fortunate that you can even find the stuff. i have purchased several out of print records from them via mail order and the prices are reasonable. usually no more than $15.0 USD. my luck has been the condition of the recors to be very good. i would hope that if you do get a "worn" record, that the price they charge for it reflects that. bennyblanco On Mon, 25 Jan 1999, =A7t=EB=B6=CC=F1T=EEm=C9 lester wrote: >=20 > On Mon, 25 Jan 1999 11:18:32 -0500 "Danny Wyatt" <xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> > writes: > > > >From: =A7t=EB=B6=CC=F1T=EEm=C9 lester <xxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx> > >>the thing about Sonic Groove is that they keep everything they have=20 > >ever > >>had in stock in the online catalogue. most of what you see, they=20 > >won't > >>have. thats what they said when i called them about a year ago. i=20 > >mean > >>come on, Q-Chastic. i doubt they ever had that at all....well maybe. > > > > > > > >Just to step in in their defense, their website does say (albeit > somewhere > >not very noticeable and a plain CMA gesture) that it's there for > >discographical purposes.
