502.0. "Cheap CDs/All music available" by PSBU::ZELAK () Mon Oct 20 1986 19:59

If you know someone living in the Rochester,N.Y. area (or ever 
travel that way), there's a record "store" called 'The House of 
Guitars' which sells most of its CDs for $11.98.  That's a pretty 
good price itself, but what really makes this place so great is 
their stock.  They advertise over 4 million albums,etc. in stock.
If there's something you're looking for, but can't find anywhere 
else, chances are they have it.  Even if they don't have what you 
want, they can usually get it for you.  I've ordered a few really 
obscure albums through them...it takes a little time, but you get 
what you want!  They stock ALL types of music.

They also deal in a lot of bootleg discs and albums.  (Sorry Beatles 
fans...none of the REAL Beatles music...only the infamous Silver 
and Golden Beatles collections available...I've looked long and 
hard!)

Unfortunately for most of you, it's in Rochester.  If anyone is 
interested, I can get the address for you, if you'd like to try 
to order something. (If you're looking for that impossible-to-find 
disc or album.)

502.1	Wear your old clothes - you'll get dirty	CASEE::CLARK	Ward Clark	`Tue Oct 21 1986 08:31`	6
	The House of Guitars is an amazing place -- rooms and rooms in an old house, full of records and dust. There must be some incredible treasures there, but you'll have to hunt to find them. I spent an afternoon there one and went home with a few prizes. -- Ward
502.2	great, great, house of guitars	NATASH::WEIGL	breathum via turbo - ergo faster	`Tue Oct 21 1986 19:01`	7
	Amen to that one (-.1). I bought a lot of stuff from them when I lived in Rochester (15 years), and can tell you that they are without question one of the best record stores around. I've never dealt with them via the mails tho, so can't comment. If you're in town, check it out. wow.
502.3	The more things change....	BETHE::LICEA_KANE		`Tue Oct 21 1986 20:03`	9
	Just wear your Mill Rat clothes. You'll fit in fine. House of Guitars. Wish you entered this about two weeks ago. I was up at UoR for a business trip. As much as Raaaachester has changed, nice to know some things don't. BTW, the House of Guitars TV ads predate that drip down in "The City" by several years. -mr. bill
502.4	Speaking of Rochester...	CIM::BIBBINS	Keith Bibbins	`Tue Nov 11 1986 09:48`	7
	Speaking of Rochester, There's a place called The Record Archives that's on the opposite side of town as The House of Guitars but its cut out of the same mold. In an old house and full of whatever you might want. If its old records you're looking for they've probably got it.
