Where to buy CD's?

I tend to frequent specialist retailers:-

Wayside http://www.waysidemusic.com

Lasers Edge http://www.lasercd.com

Syn-phonic http://synphonic.8m.com/

For second hand stuff you should check out half.com.  They also have independent sellers of new stuff.  They are a division of e-bay but you don't have to deal with bidding.  Amazon is probably my main source these days.  There are a lot of independent stores selling stuff under them and individuals.  Above all I'd recommend specialist retailers as mentioned above or going directly to the artist or whoever they give you a link to.  I have bought plenty of stuff from individual sellers of their own used stuff (primarily through half.com) and never been screwed over.

One of the cooler things I ordered was a used CD of Rick Wakeman's 1984 (I really don't care for the music now that I've heard it).  It took forever to arrive and I was about to report it.  It arrived from Russia with lots of cool stamps and wrapped in used typing paper that had Cyrillic typing on it.  I think the disc was either a bootleg or was issued especially for Soviet Union distribution.

Two recent bands that I can think of that I couldn't find are Anubis and Introitus. Anyway, I mainly use Amazon.com and band's websites if they have one.

one does have to diversify these days to find all the stuff you want; and remember if you can't find it online try asking your local b&m if they can special order it, you never know
