Posted By: LT61 My Canadian friends, help me with cd sources. - 02/10/05 03:15 PM
Hello,

I like many of the Canadian cd releases of classic rock, and other USA bands....(imports to me, here in the States).
In the past, I had a source for these releases I found in "Goldmine".....they had many titles out of print elsewhere.
Anyway, if anyone could give me a few good online Canadian sites for me to order from, I would really appreciate it. (I haven't had a lot of luck searching the web so far, myself).

Thank you,

LT
Hey, is this thing on?

I know from the local news, that there are over 2 million Canadians down here in Florida now....SOMEONE must still be up there.

Hi Larry,
The only sites that come to mind are:
futureshop.ca
amazon.ca
Good luck with your search.

i almost always buy cds @ A&B Sound, but in-store. They do have a website, but I haven't used it to buy online - A & B Sound. Normally the cheapest place to buy cds in my area and if you talk to them, they will special order imports/hard to get albums for you.
Thanks, guys.

One of my favorite bumper stickers, spotted in Florida :

"When I get old I'm going to move to Canada and drive REAL SLOW"
Classic!!!

At least when the weather gets bad, and the roads are a mess, we can rest assured that a lot of the older folks are annoying others in Florida, not adding to the problems!!
Try the following:

http://www.samscd.com/
http://www.hmv.ca/ (teamed with amazon.ca
http://www.playcentric.com/
http://www.cdplus.com/
http://www.entertainme.ca/

Good luck.
MORE!............thank you.
Also cdplus.com not a huge selection if you're looking for something obscure, but prices are usually really good.

HMV.ca used to be my CD e-tailer of choice - huge selection and prices at in-store and below, just pay for shipping over that (and somedays $2.99 is worth not stepping into a mall - ie: Christmas and Spring Break) You could expect your CD in 2-3 days in the mail.

Then they were body snatched by Amazon, prices went up by $4 a CD on the ones on my want list (or hmmm, considering list) and shipping ballooned to 7 days.

Mostly I buy from Fat Wreck Chords and Alternative Tentacles now, supporting the label itself as much as possible.
