Take me back tuesday - from the Music Memoirs
What is your favorite record/CD shop? Is it still in existence?
Toad Tape - and no. It was a record shop that didn't make the transition to CD. I had one birthday that I got 100 bucks (I think I was 13 or 14). I blew it all at Toad Tape, and I asked beforehand, and got a 10% discount (that I just bought a couple more records with). I ended up leaving with 20 albums. Woohoo.
The had a great selection in a wide range of music. That is why I loved them.
Currently I like Syn-Phonic Music he specializes in international progressive rock. Great stuff.
Do you still buy most of your CDs in stores or do you purchase music online?
Online. I get into progressive rock, and Euro power metal (Ayreon, Rhapsody ect). No one locally carries any of it, so I get it online.
What music store do you consider the world's best kept secret. (Meaning you can find anything there)?
Not anything, but anything in that genre - see Syn-Phonic Above
What was one "hidden treasure" you found while shopping for music?
When I found Jeff Wayne's War of the World, while I was attentending the University of Oregon. Eugene had (maybe even still has) a wonderful used record store. I found it there, in near mind condition. Still is one of my favorite albums to this day.

Have you seen the box set of War Of The Worlds that was released last year? I think it's UK only. John Lodge was actually to do Thunder Child. His version's on the box set. Wonderful.
Thanks for playing
Yeah. A friend of mine bought it the day it came out (another JWWotW freak). So I've heard everything and looked at the stuff. Really cool.
