100 Minnesota (Stores In The USA That Carry Progressive Music)

They have a separate prog section (which I must admit impressed
me). They carry Can, Camel, Beefheart, Gentle Giant, Egg, Art
Bears, Faust, The Muffins, Dr. Nerve, Art Zoyd, Univers Zero,
Matching Mole, Soft Machine, etc. etc. They have lots of imports
at very reasonable prices (usually $14-17). They're open 10-6
Monday through Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday. Most employees seem
at least moderately interested in prog. Usually, anything I
buy there receives a knowledgeable comment from the cashier.
I believe they'll special order, too.

This storefront is run by The Music Broker Ltd., which, I
understand, has exclusive U.S. distribution rights on Ozric
Tentacles. They specialize in imports of all genres, but their
catalog has a great selection of prog and psych titles. Looking
over the list, I see CDs by Amon Düül, Arrakeen, Asgard, Atoll,
Banco, Cathedral, Edhels, Eloy, Goblin...you get the idea. Their
prices are a little on the high side ($18.95 to $21.95 for most
imports), but they occasionally have an `all imports for $11.95'
sale, which I'm anxiously awaiting since I've seen their catalog :)
They also do mail order.
