CDs in SF?

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

I will be in San Francisco for a couple of days later this month. Would like to get any recommendations for CD shopping there. (Preference for places in the city itself, rather than the Bay Area as a whole)

Thanks in advance  0:)

There is nothing left in SF after the demise of Tower Records?

That is so sad... when I lived there back in the '70's, there was a record store on every corner, it seemed. Places like Peaches, Licorice Pizza, Tower, of course, and many other chains and single stores. Not to mention the humongous Tower over in Berkeley. You could take BART over and spend an afternoon wandering through the stacks.

I don't find it sad.  More on Amazon than there ever was in you Berkeley Tower.

You're right. But I don't have nearly as much enjoyment on Amazon. Reading, fondling the merchandise etc. I really do miss that. That said, the selection at Amazon is huge, compared to Tower. But the information that I really want to know about a disk is frequently not there. So I have to spend an hour on Google instead. So it goes.

Like the sig. Berio fan?'

Yeah, he's OK...Mayakovsky too

This is the type of response I was expecting, but I figured it was worth a try. Are good music stores (even used ones) gone forever? It appears to be so.

And cds as well!

No such thing back then, but point taken.   Yes, the occasional record, too.

Dang!  Yeah sorry about that--

And wax cylinders as well.

That's why SF was so great for music; wax didn't melt on the way home...
