well i guess that's fine and all (if you actually get to enter the store,
look around and pick your own stuff) but when you have to mail order like
most of us, it is a bit of a different story. yes they had Digeridoo and
Xylem Tube there that i did buy, but when i got them they were the
crappiest looking copies i had ever seen. the vinyl was all poppy and the
sleeves were worn to shit. i guess they push all their reject 12" off on
unsuspecting mail order kid such as i. AND...not only were the labels
WRITTEN ON, but when i peeled the price tags off, the art came with it. i
mean WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT! i can't even sell these to anyone (the
indignity is to much to bare). they are worthless. 

so anyway...want to buy a Xylem Tube???
