B&N is not cashing in on a hot market anymore than the recent crop of used record stores that have sprung up where I live during this recent vinyl resurgence.  Oh yeah, these used record shops also sell new reissues - the exact same ones the B&N is selling!   Whaddya know?

Just picked up Diana Krall, Stepping Out. Picked up one for my Dad too. Double LP, 180g purple vinyl. Sounds pretty darn good to me. No surface noise. With my B&N membership it was under $25; didn't feel that was bad. I've purchased many albums there and no issues. Listening to Stepping Out as I am typing this and it's definitely better than the CD. The original recording was done to tape, so hopefully the tape was used to produce the LP and not digital; regardless it sounds very good.

Picked up 2 albums from B&N the other day and 2/4 LP's had several small (pin head size) circular dents/impressions. Would have never expected that considering the packaging looked fine. They'll be going back tomorrow.
