samnat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Any recommendations on vinyl shops or well-stocked-with-jazz CD stores? I will be there this weekend. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldB3 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Great city one of my favorite places to visit during the summer and fall. Highly recommend "Bud's Jazz Records" in Pioneer Square. Also close to the famous Elliott Bay Book Company book store. 102 South Jackson Street Seattle WA 98104 While more of a indie rock store it does have a decent selection of Jazz is Sonic Boom (can't go wrong with a store named after a Lee Morgan record). Its in a great neighborhood that more people should explore in the Ballard District. 2209 NW Market St I have yet to go to Jive Time Records but I have heard good things about it. 3506 Fremont Ave N Seattle, WA 98103 Edited June 23, 2008 by WorldB3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samnat Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Much obliged. Will check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejo Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'd also check out Easy Street Records in Lower Queen Anne. They have a pretty good used Jazz CD and LP section--worth checking out. Easy Street Records 20 West Mercer Street There is also a store around the corner on Queen Anne Ave that might be worth checking out. Jive Time is great. If you have some time to dig, you're sure to find something--ask them about their annex in the Antique Mall just down the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejo Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Oh, and if you are in Ballard there is always Bop Street records located in the historic district (they can tell you the exact address at Sonic Boom). Not my favorite place by any means, but if you have some time might be worth checking out. Just be prepared to haggle on all pirces and spend some time in their huge, unorganized basement. Again, not a destination... but if you have the time, then check it out. There are some pretty cool bars and restaurants in that area as well.

porter_esq Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Do not pass up a trip to Wall of Sound on Capitol Hill, E Pine between Melrose and Bellevue. Jeffery Taylor is a wizard and his store is a treasure chest. www.wosound.com 315 E Pine St Seattle, WA 98122 (206) 441-9880 If you're in Queen Anne, and enjoy looking through thorough but expensive releases, see Silver Platters at 701 5th Ave N (Corner of 5th and Roy). 206-283-3472. Ask for Mark, Brad or Gabe. It's only a half-mile east of Easy Street (which you should visit first - ask for Jody). If you make it to that neighborhood, also check out Underdawg Records, which is around the corner at 532 Queen Anne Avenue N. Bud's is closed, by the way.

Shawn Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 If anyone knows how to get in contact with Brad Jones (used to run Playback Music on Broadway), please PM me. Thanks, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 BUD'S IS OUT OF BUSSINESS. PROBABLY WILL TURN IT INTO A HIGH END CLOTHING STORE FOR SEXY LADIES, I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS WALKING BY THERE ON THE WAY TO THE B-52'S CONCERT AND I WALKED BY BUDS AND SO A BIG VACANCY SIGN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 BUD'S IS OUT OF BUSSINESS. PROBABLY WILL TURN IT INTO A HIGH END CLOTHING STORE FOR SEXY LADIES, I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS WALKING BY THERE ON THE WAY TO THE B-52'S CONCERT AND I WALKED BY BUDS AND SO A BIG VACANCY SIGN That's sad, but a sign of the times. Last time I was there, I bought a Lucky Thompson CD and the owner (post-Bud) told me about the time Lucky came into the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm in Seattle right now and went looking for Bud's today (not having previously seen this thread). The space is, indeed, vacant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
