Records

Hey guys, wheres some good places to buy vinyls around vancouver, can b nu or used. Thanks

Posted by Special_K on Jul-23-2001 00:00:

Pretty much the four main record stores in Vancouver are:

1. Basixx, on hastings
2. FF, on Granville
3. Boomtown , just off davie
4. Virgin MegaStore , on Robson near Granville

Bassix and Boomtown are pretty much the best. There stock is always updated and they clear out older stuff. FF isnt that great, I dont think I have ever bought a record there. Virgin is my favorite. You cant listen to the records because there new but they Have TONS of new stuff and a kickass selection of trance. I buy records everytime I go into that store. Make sure you have alot of patience though as they have lots of records but they arnt catagorized by music genre only by alphebetical order.

what have you been able to find in virgin?? the only thing i managed to find was what it feels like for a girl....

Posted by Special_K on Jul-23-2001 01:27:

Man I have bought half my records there. They have tons of Xtravaganza, Data, Multiply, Kontor, Black Hole, and Nebula. They have a kickass selection you just got to take the time to actually browse around.

If you guys don't live too far from New West, I would suggest Hypnotik Records. They have a great selection of trance. I have never left there empty handed.

Bassix and Virgin

Well, i checked out Bassix and Virgin today. I ended up buying about 10 vinyls. Bassix had a pretty small selection of trance, but some good ones hidden in there. Virgin had an even smaller trance section, but if you go to the other rack that says "pop/rock/vinyls", you'll still find lots more trance in there. Right underneath that sign, i found: Tiesto, Ayla, Blank & Jones, Faithless, Nostrum, and alot more. So there are good records at both these stores, you just have to be willing to spend a while searching for a good one. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check out the rest of those stores this week sometime and let you guys know what i thought.

Posted by .montecarlo. on Jul-24-2001 07:44:

Oh ya, also found a bunch of PvD and Dumonde

insom, what time were you there? were you the dude with the skateboard? i was the chinese guy w/ backpack, black tshirt. about 4pm hahahahaha
i got to virgin and flipped out at the huge selection, everything they had, i got 15 vinyls even tho i cant afford to buy right now. didnt see the ayla. got a lot of lange and lost witness stuff, the B&J, faithless, thrillseekers - SYNAESTHESIA!!!!!!!!, some krap house mix of voodoo..

they have some great trance, prog, some cheese, i went thru the whoel thing in like 15 minutes just shuffling
anyways that's friggin awesome, the clerks were like surprised i bought so much stuff, saying no one ever does buy much vinyl.

but at bassix, i cant find jack diddly for trance. maybe its diff now, but seriously? anything good? nah. tidy trax, nukeleuz, and if you're lucky maybe 1 or 2 good records. i dont think they're very good

sorry for long post

Posted by .montecarlo. on Jul-24-2001 18:40:

pat, nah that wasnt me with the skateboard, i was there around 1-2. didn't see any ayla? oh ya, i bought it all, hehehe. u bought synesthesia, bastard, i was going to get that nex t paycheck, hahaha. did u look thru both of those racks? i dont know why there was so much trance under the "rock/pop" heading, fuct up. anyway, next time i go back i'll be looking for the chinese guy with a backpack maddly flipping thru all the vinyls and buying all the good stuff.hehehe. still got a couple more stores to check out, hope they're good.

Posted by Special_K on Jul-24-2001 19:41:

hahaha. What did i tell ya =). I love Virgin. I have never left that store empty handed.

Posted by patticus on Jul-24-2001 20:05:

hehe thanx again for the tip kyle, i dunno if i woulda said anything myself.. funny but virgin is, or WAS like the "underground" record store in vancouver...

insom i went thur both racks, there wasnt any trance at all in the "electronica" rack tho. it was like chemical bros. and a whole bunch of stuff i dint know?

anyways what ayla did you get?

did you see that ultra 5 - feel the motion or potion or somethin like that vinyl on groovilicious, w/ the lange mix..
been floating around on mp3 for awhile, i couldnt remember it but put my trust in the "lange" name

there's lots of copies of that. and "we are alive" and "castles in the sky"
lol

Virgin Records

I like Virgin Records for their cheapness,(around $12.99) everywhere else is like $16.99 for imports. I only seam to find good stuff on tuesdays(new inventory day) but it kinda sucks that you can't listen to record before you buy. You gotta know what you are looking for.

Posted by The []Drodigy on Jul-25-2001 05:55:

Don't rush ordering european Trance CD's off the net, visit Virgin instead!
I just got Magik 7 and Ferry Corsten's Global Trancemissions cd's there and I thought I wouldn't find'em.
They got a huge selection of almost all Gatecrasher cd's,quite a lot of very nice cd's like Picotto - The album (about $40)
I am buying Tiesto's Revolution CD as soon as I get paid (btw the price is reduced by $10 and now it's $39.99),Judge's Clubbed mix is gonna hit the stores soon!
Damn it's so nice to see so many oversea imports coming all the way from the UK or even Holland
Peace out.

Posted by patticus on Jul-25-2001 08:54:

damn jesten, we're all gonna be down there on tuesdays now.. fighting each other for shit.. hahaha

we should wear "TA signs" or have some special signal so we dont start shit fighting over the last dj jean record or something

but seriously, man id fight you over synaesthesia

<= that would be what i look like at the end of our rumble

Posted by Special_K on Jul-25-2001 09:05:

man they restock records soooooo much there. synaesthesia is ALWAYS in. Man that store must have already sold like 500 copies of it. I never ended up picking up one though.

hahaha , i'll get it next time
i got "ayla-Ayla" (with taucher, tandu, and veroshima(or whatever it is) remixes) and "Ayla-Ayla Part 2" and one other ayla track, i forget the name. and that electronica rack does suck. but i saw lots of stuff in the other rack, alot of the stuff i have heard of, but never actually heard the song, so thats why i didnt get more. next time im bringing a pen and gonna write down all the tracks that might be good, get the mp3 and then go back on a TUESDAY.lol, fightin you guys for the new records . there was a bunch of dumonde, ill probly get that next time. i got members of mayday 10 in 01 with pvd mixes, wicked u guys probly heard it already, but that was my first listen.

Posted by Special_K on Jul-25-2001 21:41:

WHAT WHAT WHAT???

YOU GOT 10 IN 1 THERE....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh my god I need that record. I NEEEEEEEEEEED it. I didn't know they ware stocking it. Where abouts did you find it. Was it in one of the featured Vinyl racks?

The copy of 10 in 01 that i got was the last ( or only) one there ( @ virgin). I bought it on moday so maybe they restocked and got it again. it was in the rock/pop/vynil section under "M". it was very hidden and i was very surprised to find it. which ayla do u have ?

Posted by patticus on Jul-25-2001 22:34:

special k, i'll take the ayla off you for 5$
someone should go down every tuesday (well i know someone will) but someone should post up new stuff they spot, if there's a lot, so others (how few of us) will know if its worth taking the trip for that week...
what w/ the bus strike and all

nice tho, they carried members of mayday, it must have sold out, but luckily i got mine a while back from juno... kinda played it out already

Posted by patticus on Jul-25-2001 22:37:

its pretty much just the 3 (or 4, w/ turbo gs-r) of us in this thread eh, all the vancouver wannabe-DJ TAs. heh.

less competition
and for buying vinyl too!
