Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store 

Newsletter Vol.4 No.5 3/25/07

  _____  

Greetings from Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge.

Once again, I know I'm repeating myself here, but this week we have again
been inundated with a ton of great 'new' used CDs. If you haven't been down
in a while be sure and check out the vault as well as the new 'recent
arrivals' used rack by the espresso bar as we've had to move a bunch of
'new' used stuff back there to make room. No blockbuster new releases this
week (well, there is the new Tim McGraw) - but there are some interesting
ones - check them out below. 

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 . . .
