Amazing Record/CD store in RI


I just got back from the most amazing record and CD store(s) "In Your Ear Records and CDs"...Warren Rhode Island....If you are ever in RI it is a must visit for Record/CD collectors!

Yup, they have two store in the same little downtown, Main St market place. (Which as a side note is a really cool area to spend an afternoon...Great coffee shops, book stores, donut shops, etc)

The original shop is on Main St, about 3-5000 sq feet of more records and CDs than I've ever seen....Very hap-hazard.....Piles everywhere. As my friend Dave says, a great place to "crate dive"!.....Thousands of CDs for $1 each and many for $3.99 or three for $10.....I bought a bunch! And all in fantastic condition. No Flea Market discs!

The newer store on Market Street is much more up-scale. All CDs are arranged in alphabetical order by artist/band, nice lounge area.....lots of new, unopened CDs....Huge Jazz selection.....Most are priced from $3.99-$7.99 .....Only one unopened I bought was $15...(Donald Fegan, Northeast Corridor...One of the best live recordings I've ever heard)...... I scored an unopened copy of Mike Bloomfield, Super Sessions for $7.99!

All of this and under a half hour from my house!

I shall return!

Wow! This is pissah news (proof that I'm from here)! And a bit dangerou$, since it's  so close. Miss flipping through Newbury Comics for a couple of hours at a time and arriving home with way too much stuff. (Is that possible?) We used to hit 5 or 6 of them on a Saturday, all around BOS. They're still in Norwood, if you ever wanna shop exclusively with retired white guys.

I also just learned that Cheapo Records still exists in Central Sq., Camb. Haven't checked it out, but it's in the same location it was when I was in HS in the 80's. Ok, 70's. Alright, alright, jeesh, the 60's.

Thanks for sharing.

Cool.  I live in Chicago but my mother in law lives in Cumberland, RI.  She is having a lot of issues and my wife and I will be flying out for an extended visit to help out.  Does this store have any classical?

RPM Records in Traverse City, Michigan is a another great place for records, cds,

plus used gear restored by terrific technicians.
