Re: Fragile Jewel Cases
We have an array of complete jewel boxes with trays, clear .99, green or blue 1.49, double slim lines all clear 1.99, the very thin ones used for import singles (we call these weenie boxes) are .79 Give us a call, don't have them on the on-line catalog, but I guess we should.

Is it okay to simply return as defective a CD with a broken ring? The few times that I've done this, the store clerks were nice enough about it. They usually just put the CD and the booklet into a new case. But this is impossible with the cardboard sleeve / plastic tray combinations - I had to get a whole new copy of Scarnella's "Scarnella" CD because the ring was broken and the tray and the sleeve were effectively one piece. I have no idea how common this type of return is, however, and would be curious to find out what you retail types have to say about this. 2. Does anybody know of a source for the more exotic jewel cases? I don't know of anybody that sells empty jewel cases with clear trays but I'm sure there must be some retail outlet that does. 3. Is this a problem for anybody else? Or am I just unlucky? Or am I being too much of a record collector geek by letting this bother me? Thanks in advance for any help / insight.

Does anyone know of anyplace in New england where I can get a 78 player repaired? Thanks. Most of the people that used to repair stereo gear are still out there working. They just list themselves as VCR repair shops now. Try them. Bill Lavery http://villagerecords.com/
Re: 3 sided records
First one I ever remember seeing was Johnny Winter's Second Winter. Second one was Rahsaan Roland Kirk Three Sided Dream. Probably already mentioned but I didn't see it. Bill Lavery http://villagerecords.com/
Re: If you ran into Garth with a used CD in a dark alley.....
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's amazing that Garth Books has any time, or brain, left to make music. He seems to be completely obsessed with making as much moeny as he possibly can, obsessed, possessed, it ain't healthy. How much money does one recording artist need to make? We'd all like to have a little piece of Garths's pie, it'd be nice to pay bills and buy a car, and get a decent haircut once in awhile, but geeze, if you've got more money than you can count, why not leave the little used CD stores alone. I think that in Garth's case it is not about money at all anymore. It is strictly 'stats' if you will. He is doing everything he can to break this record or that record. Even if it takes trickery, as in the case of the Handleman eight day week for sound scam purposes. Or using pricing that is way below industry standards to inflate the numbers, as with the box set or with the live set (this was initially offered at a 25% discount from the label) or with his concerts (last time through here he charged %25 to play the local arena, sold it out 4 times, when groups of that stature are charging 3-4 times that much) Now please don't think that I have a problem with lowering prices. I would love it. I just want to point out that he is willing to lose money in order to top the Beatles or Pearl Jam or somebody's meaningless statistic. Bill Lavery http://villagerecords.com/
