you know, i think amoeba's reputation precedes it. sure, it's massive, but as far as being a treasure-trove for out-of-print stuff, i don't think it's all that. if you can go every week and drill through the newly arrived used stuff, you'll do pretty well -- i found an old HNAS record a few weeks back (that i actually didn't buy, hoping that wasn't a mistake), for instance -- but they're not *that* comprehensive. still, though, i do love spending four hours of a sunday afternoon poring over their racks... p. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Speaking as someone who found the unreleased second Young American Primitive CD there for $2 a few weeks ago, I'm afraid I have to disagree. :-) -- Lazlo Nibble - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - http://www.studio-nibble.com -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
