Cassette tape? Eight-track? Vinyl? If you’re looking for it, Taz Records might very well have it—and if they don’t now, they will sometime, and they’ll call you when it comes in. “We deal with a lot of obscurities,” says assistant manager John Graham. “Music from the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s, imports from England to Brazil; it’s a very interesting business. We get queries about all sorts of stuff.” All sorts of stuff, and much of it on vinyl—“Sometimes our vinyl sales surpass our CD sales by 70 percent or more,” says Graham. Taz’s first anniversary in their new Gottingen location comes up in mid-November. 2089 Gottingen, 422-5976
1st runner-up CD Plus, 1582 Barrington, 422-1559
