Quimper Sound Music & Media
W. Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store
Newsletter Vol.3 No.5 2/10/06

Greetings from Quimper Sound! Boy is it a lousy week for new releases - the most interesting one is a *tribute* album fer cryin' out loud (though it looks like a good one). The record industry presumes we're all too tied up in knots about Valentines Day to worry about new music - which reminds me... We've got a nice selection of tunes for the 14th - from smoooove to groove. From 'Stan Getz Plays For Lovers' to 'The Ultimate Barry White Collection' - and much more. Several 'select' titles are up at the front counter and there are plenty in the racks, too. Need a suggestion? Just ask and we'll find you just the right thing for whatever mood your trying to set. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
