<<My favorite Queen album by far. I found the velvet-covered treasure chest
box set at FYE in a dump bin for ten dollars (!) and would have bought the
box itself at that price if it were empty. I despise FYE with a passion (but
I'll browse there to see what's out) but had to make a behavioral exception
for that deal. :) >>
I too despite FYE and any other TransWorld-related record stores... I mean,
how far OFF the mark of what a record store SHOULD be can you get? People
should not be buying rock music from kids in bow ties, period. Extra points lost
for taking what was once a great independent chain (Strawberries) and gutting
them, turning them into a shell for FYE with some hollow concessions for "hip
points" (such as hand-written bin cards, etc) and trading off Strawberries old
name.
All that said, FYE's clearance bins often have good stuff because most music
fans who are in the know abandoned the place years ago. --Jason
