1101.0. "New CD Store in Worcester, MA----RIFF RAFF" by AQUA::ROST (I'll buy you a cherry phosphate) Mon Feb 29 1988 08:40

Well, another new CD store has reared its head, in Worcester MA of all 
places.

It's called RiffRaff and is on Park. Ave. about two blocks past the HoToy 
restaurant if you're heading towards Webster Square.  It's in a big white 
house, across from the local Dole campaign headquarters.

The emphasis is on rock, they have some interesting imports and *lots* of 
hardcore/thrash stuff....how about a whole bin full of Meat Puppets, Husker 
Du, Minutemen, etc.

Jazz and classical are a bit weak, essentially no folk yet and a smidgen of 
used stuff.

They are only a month or so old and looking for suggestions of what to 
stock.  Prices are the usual $14.99-15.99 but they are currently 
discounting everything an additional two bucks and said they are hoping to 
make that the new list price.  

One good deal they had as a promo of the Boss' Centrum stay was I picked up 
"Tunnel of Love" for $10.99, a buck less than anybody else has had it for.

Worth a visit at least.

    Didn't like the comment about "Worcester MA of all places".  Bought
    a house there 8 years ago after an extensive survey of urban living.
    
    My house has appreciated 140%, and the city looks better every year.
    We used to go to Boston to eat, but no longer need to.
    
    Get'n better all the time - - - and CD stores also.
    
    Thanks for the info on the new store, I'll check it out.
