Another Goldmine advertiser. Stocks a lot of progressive,
psychedelic, fusion, and plain old rock and roll of various
persuasions. They deal in CD's, LP's, etc., etc. Their catalog is
a must for the serious collector. I've had excellent service. They
request alternate selections due to problems keeping obscure
albums in stock, and they'll make every effort to fill an order
even if they don't have the item in stock. I asked them about
the availability of two LP's once, and they went out and got
them for me. They're not cheap, but their prices are in line
with other vendors of obscure music.

Publishes an extensive list of records/CDs/45s/collectors
stuff. Mostly rock but some em/progressive stuff. A lot of lesser
known rock and some oldies. Most of their vinyl is used but in
very good to mint condition. Fully searchable Web site of some
33,000 (and expanding) titles.

The East Coast's prog Mecca! After David Hodgson closed down
Playing By Ear in Baltimore and moved it out West, Chris Lamka
bought the store and the stock. He later moved it up the road a
few miles. Chris concentrates more on progressive than David did,
with an excellent selection of Italian, Brazilian, French and US
prog (other countries are well-represented also). Good electronic
selection, also. Chris is very supportive of the prog scene in
and around Baltimore, with many in-store appearances of local
and regional prog acts. Rumor has it he's trying to set up a prog
fest of his own... Prices aren't quite as good as Ranjits', but
this business is the man's bread and butter, so I really don't
mind that much.

I haven't ordered anything from them yet, but I have seen their
big catalog and been very impressed. (I know folks who have
ordered from them and been perfectly satisfied.)

Small, odd selection of compilations and mailorder with some cheap
and some regularly priced items. Includes works by Frith, Kaiser,
Don Cherry, Sun Ra, Negativland, Daevid Allen, Mother Gong, Made
To Measure and more.
Monthly catalog, 12 pages, now concentrated around their own
releases including the new Hugh Hopper, a recent Henry Kaiser and Amy
Denio. Small new and used CDs area, very Gong-based, Frith, Kaiser,
Geesin. Some used vinyl, too. They also give information about
`their' artists, mainly tourdates: Gong, Amy Denio and related,
Frank Pahl and related, `Steve Horowitz and The Code'.
