Quimper Sound Music & Media
W. Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store
Newsletter Vol.3 No.4 2/4/06

Greetings from Quimper Sound! Lots of interesting new releases this week, including (finally!) the new KT Tunstall. Check out the "Web-only" specials this week on the website. Also, we've bought a lot of used CDs this week so if you haven't combed the used racks lately now is a good time to come down and check it out. And, as I've mentioned before, we've got a lot of good stuff in the new sale rack between the Jazz and Blues sections. Finally, we've got a ton of special orders waiting down at the store - we've had to start filling up a second shelf to accommodate them all - so if you've got something waiting for you come on down - if you are not football-crazed, there should be plenty of parking downtown on Sunday afternoon and we'll be wide open. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
