I think calling Recordtime is the way to go, they're VERY helpful and nice
on the phone...

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.
