Last Saturday, I was browsing through several record/audio shops etc. in NYC and found several that have CD's for sale (although they didn't necessarily have the prices posted). Harvey's on W 45th St. has a number of titles, including most Telarcs that have been released on CD so far. I also saw good selections of CD's in several of the other shops on 45th St. Then, of course, there's Tower Records (as noted earlier) So far, I haven't seen any CD's at J&R on Park Row (which frankly surprises me, given their selection of LP's) but that's probably from either a) not looking in the right place (easy to do given J&R's 3 stores - classiscal/jazz, popular, and video - or b) just a matter of time (or they sell out as soon as they come in). J&R has the lowest prices on LP's that I know of (and no "sale" games where selected labels are on sale from time to time - the prices are consistently low, so I suspect that price policy will carry over to CD's. Another likely source of CD's is King Karol (Times Square among other locations ) given their large LP selection. Bill Mitchell Bell Labs, Whippany, NJ (whuxk!wjm) ps. If you're not in the NYC area, J&R has a large mail order department, with an 800 number to call to order - they take Visa and MasterCard on $25+ orders and Amex on $50+ orders - they also take checks but you have to wait for the check to clear before they ship the goods.

I found a decent selection at Sam Goody's at Woodbridge Mall, and I was told that by today (Monday), they'd have a much bigger selection. Their selection was heavily biased towards classical (12:1 ratio, I'd estimate), though. They, too, take Amex, VISA, and Mastercard.
