 Topic: Progs exclusivity & distributionPosted: February 19 2006 at 07:18 |
|||
|
Sometimes it drives me nuts trying to locate a particular prog CD that I want to buy ! I search all over the net , Take chances dealing with unknown sellers, but at the same time the search makes it all the more rewarding, each CD I get thats rare becomes like a successful hunting expedition
 and I wouldn`t part with it for the world (knowing how much work I have put into locating it !)  The nature of this pole is about exclusivity and distribution , does it bother you that prog can be a little tricky to find ? I mean its not like you can walk into K mart and buy it in most cases, you need to do some tracking down (unless its Pink Floyd). Edited by s1ipp3ry |

So far I've had no trouble getting what I want fron major on-line stores like Amazon, but that maybe I'm not looking for such obscure stuff as you. The only prog CD that has eluded me so far, is a Janison Edge (?) album. It was listed` on Amazon but was delted at the time. Couldn't find a copy on e-bay either. |

There have been Hawkwind albums I can't get anywhere, but I'm guessing many are deleted. There were some that Amazon didn't list that I knew were not deleted, but thats only been the case for Hawkwind...and I wont ose sleep over that, I have more than enough Hawkwind albums.. I bought 'As the World' by Echolyn from there, and they didn't seem to have many Echolyn albums listed. |

I'm chasing.. Sonic Attack The three calvert albums dont seem to be very popular among many Hawkfans, but I loved their sound and approach to music at that time. I've had them on vinyl for years, but the last time I saw one of them on e-bay the bidding was over £75 for PXR5 That said there was a DVD of their 1984 Stonehenge show on Amazon, which I will get round to getting. |

The other day I was walking into one record store and found King
Crimson's Lizard and Island. I can understand there are some Pink Floyd
and some Yes, but King Crimson? now that was a miracle!
And in another store not to far from the other one, I found ALOT of prog but the modern ones. There where alot of insideout bands and other labels. That was the time when I bought the BE DVD. There are some good bands in there but I want the 70's ones |

Ever since I have made the step toi do some net shopping, I find no problem whatsoever to find almost anything i want. I must say that Greg Walker of Syn-Phonic has an incredible catalogue. My local record shop orders almost anything I ask him to. And he has no problem if I do not even take what he brings in on my advice if I do not want to buy it Then there is Music Emporium In Namur (Belgium) , this is like Ali Baba's treasure cavern. Amazing how this guys can operate such a shop with such unfashionable discs sitting in his racks. Almost everything the average proghead could wish for Only a few Quebec prog still to be re-issued and the odd rare stuff such as Tea And Symphony's second album Jo Sago are still lacking among the stuff I really want the rest will be throughout my research and musical adventures/meanderings |

^ your lucky, I've yet to find a shop that really caters for prog. HMV and the like have the more famouse stuff (Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Dream Theater, PoS, etc) but things like Anglagard are impossible to find.

Yes, it bothers me. Local music shops are obviously not ran by progheads.

IF you go to a small record shop and you order something you know you will like, leave a downpayment so he is sure you will come back and buy it, he will do it. The customers are getting too razre to afford not making new ones. the guy I go to, was and is a metal place but also catered some progmetal, mostly because I asked in the mid-90's to order some , then since I did not buy them , he directed those Cds to other metaljeads and now progmetal is his biggest market . So he orders prog regularly. Just worked a trust relation with him. Yes he is more expensive than megastores, but so much more flexible. But this guy is willing to sell fridges to Eskimos |

That's exactly how my local stores are. Tower Records has everything, but at unreasonable prices most of the time. I don't have a problem finding that stuff on line, but the rare, imported CDs are sometimes difficult or lacking in numbers, and that aggravatesd me sometimes. |
