Vinyl Audiophiles' Dream (Maybe) Data Base

Where can you find old vinyl records. You remember. Kinda like a giant floppy disk only made out of vinyl and 6" to 12" across. Where can you find these antiques? That's the question RecordStoreReview attempts to answer with its data base. The system starts with a reverse Country, State, City search from pull down boxes. After each selection the screen rewrites--irritating when running with a dial-up. Then there are only a few cities in each state, and only two or three stores in each city--at least the several that I tried. The entire state of Illinois has only one store listed in Evanston. Indiana has about a half dozen cities, Kentucky has 3 cities, and Tennessee has 4. While the listings are thin the reviews are thorough and complete. A true audiophile will not mind the quantity if they can find real quality goods.
