i have been ordering hard-to-get cd's from tower record's in n.y.c. they have an 800 number and ship the same day if in stock. the only problem is that the prices run a little higher than local prices. are there any other cd mail-order houses that respond as quickly at lower prices? thanks! p.s. local prices are about $12.99 to 14.99 each.

Do they publish a catalog? I'm finding approximately the same price range in the Boston area as what you find, excluding sales. But I'd rather not waste time looking all over for a cd, so I might pay a dollar more if I could have the convienience of mail-order. Of course, I wouldn't mind paying a dollar less, either...

Tower Records' phone number is 800-648-4844; the store (and probably the mail order department) is open 9 AM to midnight, Eastern time, 365 days a year. However, if you're interested in ordering classical CDs, consider Darton Records instead. They are a tiny store located across the street from Carnegie Hall, open normal 9-5 sorts of hours Monday through Saturday. They have a LARGE stock of CDs and will happily order anything they don't have in stock (but remember, classical only). When they have stuff in stock, they ship UPS the same day they get your order. Here in north central NJ, if I order on Monday, the discs usually arrive Wednesday. They will take credit card orders over the phone, and if you expect to order a lot of stuff they will open a house charge account for you. Their phone number is (212) 582-7350 and their current price for CDs is $13.95, all labels and titles. (they also have an extensive stock of LPs at 20% off list)
