Our Barnes and Noble has the best selection here, all lumped together with the movies under "Soundtracks." Of course the quickest way to get the latest releases is Amazon--love that super saver shipping!
And BobbyBuddy, thanks for calling me an idiot. Yes, words do hurt.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 6:54pmI don't live very far from NYC. I went to three places, Best Buy, Borders and even the Virgin Mega Store in Times Square looking for PIAZZA. None of them had it. I went to Footlight.Com and ordered it from them. It arrived the NEXT DAY!

Posted: 7/12/05 at 7:25pmThe Wal-Mart near me never used to have cast recordings. Then I was there a few weeks ago and discovered that they had gotten a surplus of them. They even had "Taboo"--a cast recording I couldn't even find in the "finer" music stores around here.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 7:26pmWhy not just use amazon? Cheaper and they have a full selection.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 7:45pmLike some others, my Walmart actually has a fair selection. When I looked last, they had DRS, Spamalot, quite a few older ones, and alot of Wicked's. For the best selection, I still use the internet, though.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 8:17pmYeah, either Border's or Barnes and Noble would be a good bet. I looked at a Barnes and Noble once and they had pretty much everything and (judging from the very good selection of movies they have), I would say that Border's probably has whatever you want too. One place I've never seen a cast recording is Target (I might've seen Hairspray maybe but that's it). Also, I don't know where you live, but I was in FYE the other day and they have a soundtrack/cast recording section and they have a pretty good selection...although they didn't have spamalot...

Posted: 7/12/05 at 11:30pmThe thing about ordering online is the shipping in handling it. I bought a DVD at amazon.com and their S&H was 11.00.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 11:31pmI recommend that you shop from your local independent music store (if you're lucky enough to have one). If they don't regularly stock CRs, they can certainly special order anything you want. Also, you can pre-order new releases so that you get them on the 1st day they're out (just be sure to order your new releases at least a week before they come out, or it won't make it on the order).

Posted: 7/13/05 at 12:01amBest place to pre order Cast recordings is amazon because sometimes you get them early. I got Spelling Bee Two days early and also got Sweet Charity one day early! It is great!

Posted: 7/13/05 at 12:04amThe Walmart I frequent in New Jersey had the New Cast Recording of Assassins! I was so proud I almost wanted to buy it! But, I already own a copy!

Posted: 7/13/05 at 12:26amthe best buy near me only offers a few cast recordings but most are collections.
