duh...what about record time people??
While I am a big in-store Record Time fan, my experience with them
online is generally not such a pleasant experience. Maybe it's better
with the new version of the web site, but typically less than half of
the records I have ordered ("In Stock") have been shipped. I've
learned to deal with it somewhat, by assuming that nothing I want is in
stock, and just emailing them, but in this case, time-to-reply is very
unpredictable - sometimes very fast other times very slow. I don't
blame the guy(s) working the online store - the service is always
friendly. Just a matter of the store's priorities I suppose.
I'll most likely be moving back to Detroit later this year and am very
much looking forward to being able to shop Record Time, in-store, again.

They are the only mail order people I use anymore. I havn't ordered
records
through the mail in a long time though. Just CD's latley from record
time...but they have gotten to me in the Persian Gulf faster then
Amazon
gets their stuff here, as I have seen from other peoples complaints.
And I really like that J-Dilla CD...just showed up, it is one of them
instant classics. everything he touches turns to gold, almost like king
midas, but I think J-dilla can still smoke his blunts...
peace

Personally i have order and can recommend:
www.vinylunderground.co.uk
www.smallfish.co.uk
www.formic.de
and www.clone.nl.
I have always wanted to use nuloop but the totally outrageous shipping
cost
makes it impossible. I have used groovetech in the past because they
have
great deals on shipping but if possible i would always support the
independents.
I find these stores have a good selection but i mostly order electro
and a
bit of older Detroit. I haven't ordered from rushhour but the instore
selection of house music is quite tasty.
Also is anyone going to Legowelt in london this weekend?

I'll second that recommendation....Nuloop's selection and service are
incredibly good. SHipping costs are outlandish but they got
me my order in
36 hours....
Planet X is also VERY good.
Peace,

BK> I would be happy to hear any recommendations from
others on the list
of

BK> selection is a nice bonus, but I value an up-to-date
stock list
most.
http://www.planetxusa.com is decent. There's an indicator next to
each record showing how likely it is to be in stock, and
Real Audio
samples of just about everything. The site works best in
IE (certain
things go flaky in Phoenix/Mozilla). My only complaint
about them is
that they don't seem as personalized as they were a
couple years ago.
They used to surprise me with random promo records,
posters, t-shirts
and the like (much as Submerge is known to do), but ever
since they
went Internet-only there's been less and less of that.
I mean, yeah, it's not like I can complain about not getting free
swag, but it's definitely one of the things that will
keep me going
back for more.
