They have one of the biggest jazz sections I've seen. There is also a place in Millvale called "The Attic" that has hundreds of thousands of hard-to-find albums. They also sell all CDs for 12.99 if you order ahead of time. If all else fails, try Record-Rama in teh North Hills on McKnight Road. They have virtually every record ever recorded. The only catch is that some of the very rare records can only be rented so you can tape them.

Stedeford's -- Federal Street, North Side (***THE VERY BEST!***) 2.) Record Recycler -- Forbes Avenue, Squirrel Hill 3.) Jerry's Records -- Forbes Avenue, Oakland (above Original Oyster House) 4.) Record Graveyard -- Forbes Avenue, Oakland (above Panther Hollow Inn near campus) 5.) Village Records -- Shadyside (in little shopping mews at foot of Walnut Street) 6.) National Record Mart -- Downtown store on Forbes is the only NRM with serious jazz collection. 7.) Oasis Records -- Oakland store on Forbes is only one with any sort of jazz selection. NOTE: Numbers 2, 3 and 4 deal mostly in used records, although they have a lot of great cut-outs. So they may not be the best place for records which will be given as gifts. --Jim - - - - - - - - Received: from C.CS.CMU.EDU by CIVE.RI.CMU.EDU; 15 Dec 87 13:17:26 EST Received: ID ; Tue 15 Dec 87 13:15:10-EST Date: Tue 15 Dec 87 13:15:08-EST From: William.Chiles@C.CS.CMU.EDU Subject: Record Stores To: pangels@CIVE.RI.CMU.EDU Message-ID: <12358716100.37.CHILES@C.CS.CMU.EDU> At a first shot I'd say to try Record Rubble (or something like that). They are located downstairs, through a little doorway, hidden in the wall on Forbes in Sq Hill. This doorway is between Atlantic books and Say Cheese (that cheese and coffe shop), across the street somewhat from Baskin and Robbins. The other choice is Eides downtown. They're near 10th and Penn on Penn. Eides used to be pretty good for used jazz, but I haven't been album buying in a year or so.

You can become a WRCT dj, like myself (and several other department members), and have access to their large record library, which has O(1000) jazz & blues albums. I believe it's the largest record library in the city. There will be slots available next semester, don't know when, There's probably an 'RCT meeting coming up soon. Not sure if/when dj training will be going on. If you're interested I'll tell you when I find out. A 3 hr show, which I had, involves about 45mins pre/post-time overhead minimum, to find what you're going to play & later put it away... Order a good set of catalogs, from places like Rounder Records, Alligator, Flying Fish, Yazoo ... I believe there are about 200+ labels which deal in gospel/blues. I can find some addresses. I think there's a couple catalogs at home I could find, & we could maybe share some. I like blues, & "hot" jazz myself, better than most contemporary fusion-type stuff. WDUQ plays a lot of jazz, and on Sat/Sun they have special shows... WYEP, back on the air now for a couple months, plays some jazz & mellow stuff. I find the term "jazz" pretty fuzzy... I haven't been buying many albums lately. I find a lot of good stuff on the radio; some of it I tape & listen to later. I also tape my own shows, since I usually play music I like. Does this help? I'd be interested in the responses you receive, too. -todd - - - - - - - - Received: from OHM.ECE.CMU.EDU by CIVE.RI.CMU.EDU; 16 Dec 87 12:56:08 EST Received: by ohm.ece.cmu.edu (5.51/5.17) id AA09409; Wed, 16 Dec 87 12:54:40 EST Date: Wed, 16 Dec 87 12:54:40 EST From: Tony Knaus Message-Id: <8712161754.AA09409@ohm.ece.cmu.edu> To: henning.pangels@cive.ri.cmu.edu Subject: jazz albums you ought to try "Jerry's fine used records".
