I love collecting and also listening to fine opera on recordings. I recently came back from Los Angeles and they have a wonderful store called Amoeba. They have a huge selection of opera both on cds and also on dvds. It is a collector's dreamland. I spend almost 300 dollars on used and new recordings. I also visited the Record Surplus but, they don't have a big of a collection like Amoeba. Here in Vancouver we have Sikora's Classical Music but, they are a bit expensive. Sometimes they have used recordings which are pretty dissently priced. Now, this is not the first time I visit the Seattle area. I always go to Borders and they are quite expensive is there a store like Amoeba right there in Seattle where I can buy good recordings of operas on cds?
I am looking for a good classical music/Opera recordings stores in the Seattle area if you know please let me know.
The places that I highly recommend are Amoeba Music in Hollywood for good bargain on used and new opera recordings. The Record Surplus in Los Angeles for good prices but be there as soon as they open the store. They don't have that big of a selection. Sikora's Classical in Vancouver, bc. a bit expensive but, they have anything you like. They are pretty organized too. I usually go to Sikora's Classical for their used recordings or when I can't find what I want anywhere else.
