If you want to take a subway to mid-town (10-15 minutes). Vortex Records is worth a look: http://canada411.yellowpages.ca/business/ON/Toronto/vortex/0%2C2/1678308.html?src=&adid=11427702ad&stype=si ----- Original Message ---- From: Jaimie Vernon To: audities@smoe.org Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 8:21:41 AM Subject: Re: Toronto record stores: what's good these days?

Stewart, Alas, there is only ONE record store on Queen worth noting....and it's closer to University (east of MuchMusic) -- KOPP'S KOLLECTABLES. Mostly vinyl. And the upstairs is a haven for 7" singles. Otherwise you're left with nothing but HMV's both in and around the vaccinity of the Eaton's Centre. However, on College east of Bathurst is She Said Boom run by former MADE bassist John Bokker. It's a book store and record shop. And if you're on Bloor between Bathurst & Spadina there's a few used CDs stores beside Lee's Palace and across the street from it.
