<> Recently, I was brousing through the local Kemp Mill Record store here in College Park, (Kemp Mill is a local discount record store), I saw several Original Master Recordings (by Mobil Fidelity Sound Labs) in the cutouts bin! They had maybe 20 selections at prices of $6.99 and $7.99. I bought six of these that I didn't already have, and when I was paying for them I asked the cashier why they were in the cutouts bin. She said that the reason for the ultra-cheap price was because of the competition from CD's. She said that anyone who was willing to pay $14-$18 for an album would probably rather buy the CD version instead. She said she expects to get an even larger selection of these Original Master Recordings in the near future. So for those of you who still enjoy audiophile LP's, watch the cutout bin in your local discount record store, you may find some really great bargains!! Dennis -- Call-Me: Dennis Gibbs, Univ. of Md.
