Heading there tomorrow (Sat) for a concert. Any especially good spots for used CD/record hunters?

Thanks!

Also check out The Great Escape on Bardstown Road for used CD's and LP's.

 

Ear X-Tacy is a grrrrrreat shop! Bardstown Rd. has a lot of record stores - you can't go wrong along there... I useta live near Louisville, I and miss the shops there.

 

Sorry I didn't see this post in time to comment. I agree with what's been said so far. Bardstown Road is the place to go, for Ear Xtasy (which has L-ville's best selection, a healthy amount of imports and a used CD section, but which is pricy compared to some places). Better Days is OK at best, although they have a lot of used vinyl to peruse. I like Great Escape- it has only used product but also sells LPs. Off of Bardstown Rd., there's a Coconuts out in St. Matthews that also has used product and used to have a lot of sealed DCCs until I cleaned them out a year or two ago. There's also a CD Warehouse on Hurstborne Ln. worth a visit. That's about it. While you're there you should stop at W.W. Cousins, a restaurant with the best burgers in the state. I literally go there every time I'm in L-ville, and I'll be back there this week.

 

Hmmmmm - I useta be fond of Genny's Diner when I wanted a burger; the Sweet Daddy Platter had a 1 and a quarter pound monster (I never had the nerve to order one)...

 

Yep...Bardstown Road has several decents shops there. There's some nice bookstores around there as well.

Craig...I have yet to find any decent shops in Evansville. Maybe you could name a few besides Coconuts.

 

Been a while since we've heard from you, Magic.

Welcome back!

Thanks all!

Didn't factor in the time difference coming from Indiana so I wound up being unable to hit the stores this time. Definitely will next time, though!!
