Quimper Sound Music & Media
W. Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store
Newsletter Vol.2 No.41 12/15/05

Greetings from Quimper Sound. Only one new release of note this week (see below). So as we enter the holiday homestretch we're stocking up on all the essentials. But if you need to special order something, we're ready to go (we're the best in the biz) - but be forewarned that the distributers shelves are getting pretty bare...
However, if you are a last week shopper, don't despair! We've got Gift Guides and Recommendations to help you find the perfect piece of music for that special someone. And if all else fails, a Quimper Sound gift certificate is one of the most sought after gifts in town. Perhaps the only thing more coveted is a gift certificate wrapped in a Quimper Sound T-shirt! Which reminds me, all Quimper Sound baseball caps are $5 (while supplies last). Finally, rest assured that we'll be open whenever you need to shop. We'll be open downtown until 8pm from now until Friday the 23rd and open 9am-6pm on Saturday the 24th. Of course, we're open 24 hours a day, every day, online. If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
