In a world of hurt, thank goodness we still have Planet Records and its awesome selection. They put out the CD booklets sans jewel cases, which means you can look at twice as much merchandise in a small space. If you want to buy you bring the booklet to the desk and they'll fetch the CD. All sections are extensive especially R&B and foreign music, and they also sell new and sealed recordings. You can find some really unusual and esoteric recordings here and the staff is usually knowledgeable. If the place is quiet they'll even let you hear a little bit of a CD on the sound system, but don't try this on a Saturday. Buyback here is picky - give it a try, then take your discards to CD Spins. They also sell DVDs. Open until 10pm most nights, as it should be.
