i don't know much about the small spots in boston, but i can tell
you a bout the bigger stores in the area....
HMV in Harvard Square seems to always have a pretty big collection
of imports and you can usually find what you are looking for there,
or have them order it....they are a little more expensive than other
places...but....they have a better selection IMHO
Tower Records in Harvard square and in Boston have a big selection
of compilations and the more mainstream technoish stuff (moby...etc.)
but also not as mainstream titles like plastikman.....and their
prices are much better, plus you can use $3 off coupons if you have 'em...
newbury comics is also pretty good, sort of a cross between hmv and tower
but more towards the tower side of things....
if your looking through cutouts, newbury comics on newbury street (and
i think the one in harvard square too) and tower records in harvard
square sometimes have a really good selection...but you really have to look
and be lucky...
good lukc
