When I started collecting records, back in the early 60s, I would rely on the Schwann catalog and what I encountered in Sam Goody's, the Record Hunter, Music Masters, etc. Now I consult the lists Gary Thal sends out every month, read this mailing list, look at the reviews in Grammophone, ARG, Fanfare and when I can find them, some of the speciality publications. The only time I buy recordings in a store, it is in the resale bins or in second hand shops. Guess I was wondering, how do all of you keep informed on what is being released and what percentage do you buy in stores? Karl
