Digging around a bit anywhere you can can yield interesting gems. I've picked up my vinyl records from one of my local used book stores, a couple of the pawn shops in town, the odd garage sale and rummaging the basements/attics of family and friends who have some records they don't want anymore.

I would start looking online. Google is your friend.

Online Google search, eBay, Half.com and more. Local used shops, pawn shops and sometimes comic book shops stock used albums.

I gave away all my albums years ago. While I occasionally miss the turntable action, I won't turn back. Good luck.

X2. Except for specific stuff, the used market is where my music comes from.

Kansas City still has at least two genuine vinyl shops, Zebedee's and Earwaxx. Halfprice Books still has a good vinyl section, as does Vintage Stock. Come on down!

Is SD San Diego or South Dakota? If it is San Diego, there are a plethora of options - Off the Record, Lou's, M-Theory, etc. However, if it is South Dakota, a friend of mine says the only good options are eBay and Amazon.

You also might consider Austin in the spring. They have a very large record show that takes place the same week as SXSW which is an awsome event (check it out on the web). Went with a bud a few years back to sell off some of his vinyl. If it is on vinyl you can probably find it there. You also might pick up a copy of Goldmine.

the owner is awesome and they have frequent 10-15% off promotions.

One great way to get Beatles records is to remember most people who are 40-50 had parents at the hub of Beatlemania. If they kept their stuff, they are more common than toothbrushs. Just ask because they are free most of the time. Smile!

This method takes more work but can have you end up with more records. There is a store in California named after that album called Peperland. If your friends do not have free ones, they do mailorder.

If you ever visit Pittsburgh, there's a place in Squirrel Hill called Jerry's Records. They have a floor inventory of over half a million records (they claim 1 million), most priced at $3-$5. The major label USA pressings of Beatles stuff is cheap there. They also have fairly priced Beatles UK issues (typically $65-$125). You could easily spend 8 hours rifling through the inventory. Bring allergy pills... the place will set off an allergy attack for anybody with mold / mildew allergies.

I've been picking up rare issues of KK Records Belgium & 3rd Mind Records (Vancouver) releases at his store for years.

Avoid flea-markets... most people there let the records sit vertically in the sun, making a speed bump / bicycle jump out of the vinyl.

Just don't get too excited. Remember, as there are good and bad mastered CD -- there are good and bad pressings. Be prepared, for example, to learn most Capitol USA pressing on the Beatles have very little bass.
