Operated by Kirk Walther. I have done business with Kirk for years,
and his shop has always been an interesting place. The store has
just moved to a new location, and continues to stock a healthy
supply of Krautrock, progressive folk/rock and techno titles on both
CD and LP. Artists in stock almost always include Can, Xhol, Faust
and many other classic Krautrock groups. Most new prog Spalaxes and
similar releases on other labels appear at RC regularly, and I have
also seen It's a Beautiful Day, Groundhogs, Fairport Convention and
other unusual stuff in both CD and LP formats there. It's a great
shop for Beatles and Beatles related titles also.
Kirk takes trades, has a lot of used vinyl and CDs, gets a lot of
alternative traffic, but likes prog, Krautrock and old Ravi Shankar
LPs (!) a lot. Prices: used CDs go for $7-$11 depending on rarity,
if imports, then slightly more. Vinyl prices vary considerably, based
on rarity, condition and so forth. Special orders are possible,
but still take a long time to come in. A great little shop you
need to visit if you're ever in the area.
