Encore definitely is my favorite place in town. SOmetimes you have to be
patient with them for things to come it, but it's worth it

Now that the buy-more-save-more deal is gone "Discount" Records is
basically a non-mall Musicland. No reason to buy there except
possibly during one of their periodic 20% off sales..
Just recently discovered Encore and was wowed by their selection
(both breadth and ease-of-finding-what-you-want..)

where is encore, that's another place i've never been,
so discount records is really as high priced as music land, because their
prices are outrageous, 18$ is way too much for one cd..

I shop at Best Buy whenever possible, because they tend to undersell mainline
music stores by $3 or $4

Encore is at the corner of Liberty and Thompson. Next to Thano's

Confusingly it has an awning labelling it "Liberty Records" which I believe
survived from the previous music-store incarnation in that location..

I just went there the other day; I stopped myself from buying more CDs-which
I can't afford at present-by picking stuff up and handing it to my friend who
was going on a long car trip. . .:)
THey had cool stuff, as usual. . .
Wazoo sometimes gets in some cool stuff, too, but you have to look for it.

The good thing about used music stores is that you can find things that you
want that you'd never find anywhere else. The bad thing is that you almost
never do. They can never have a complete collection of every rare cd or
record that ever existed.

Better to go in looking for 'something interesting'--which you can always
find--than for 'this interesting album right here'--which you never will.

senna in #115: often finding the rare recording just takes persistence.
I was looking for one particular Duke Ellington LP beginning in 1978;
it finally turned up in Encore's bins around 1993. If finding such
things was easy, then they wouldn't be rare!
Encore (and other used stores) are also good for a chance to
gamble on a recording at a reduced rate; and since the stock is
already unsealed, you can often get a chance to listen to a disc
before buying it, especially if you shop at a less busy time.

Just a note of a music store's passing: State Discount in East Lansing
has dropped out of the music business. All the way back to the mid-70s,
and possibly even earlier, State Discount did a good business of selling
the top hits -- *only* the top hits -- for significantly less than the
other new-record shops.
Anyone have any comments on Disc-Go-Round, the used-CD chain which has
opened outlets in East Lansing and Ann Arbor? The East Lansing outlet
is at the corner of Abbott and Albert; the Ann Arbor store is on South
University. I haven't been overwhelmed by the selection in either
store, and given that both towns have two or more good-to-excellent used
CD shops, it's hard to see what the niche of these new shops will be.

I was just at Disc-go-Round today, and got a couple CDs. Seemed OK,
the owner was rather obviously training a new hire. OK prices, annoying
light show.

The Ann Arbor Disc-Go-Round seems to be much better than the other
Disc-Go-Round stores I've been in. It's still not particularly good
but they get points for usually having at least a couple of things
I'd like to hear and for keeping it organized well enough that I can
find what I'm looking for if it's there. Encore's much better but
Disc-Go-Round is acceptable..

I'm with you on Encore. I buy probably 75% of my music there now.
Only if I have to have something new do I go elsewhere, either Tower or
Tower.
