I wondered about Lou's. I made a point to visit each trip out there I could, but last week I took my kids to Legoland and had to drive past Encinitas without stopping. Now I know I didn't miss anything. I did manage to hit all 3 Amoeba on my California vacation and was saddened to see that older jazz VINYL is now almost all relegated to the $30-60 wall though it wasn't always so. Record Surplus in LA still has 20% sales quarterly and I found the Roy Eldridge Mosaic CD set for $109 less 20%. Even Grateful Dead vinyl was hard to find compared to logging onto the Internet. Record Collector magazine has a "record store locator" section, but I can see why most people buy their music over the internet.
