I've actually found that the regular CD prices are often cheaper at Circuit City than any of the other chains...Too bad the selection is crap.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s there was a smaller chain around here by the name of Kemp Mill Music who had an advertised and verifiable pricing policy of no single cd priced over $12.99, every day. Cassettes were $7.99 or $8.99, I don't remember.

They would run sales often, especially on new releases, getting them down in the $8.99-$9.99 range. For a kid living on middle school and high school money, it was badass. I wouldn't set foot in any other music store outside of Kemp Mill until they went out of business, sometime when I was in high school.

remember waxie maxies?

Borders and Barnes & Noble are only good if something's on sale.

25% off at Borders, good through June 19. I just picked up that Eno album for $13.49 after coupon. I was so thrilled with it that I likely would have been okay paying the full price for it . . . but I'm glad I didn't. Beautiful album.
