231.0. "CD's on Sale" by EXIT26::ROSEN () Tue Dec 10 1985 14:28

This note has been written to provide a vehicle to keep tabs on which stores
are conducting sales on compact discs.  If you know of such a "sale," please
reply to this note with some detail including the date(s) of the sale.  Maybe
we can all save a "buck."

The Lechmere chain of stores is conducting a 20% off their usual selling
price sale.  This includes all CD's IN STOCK.  They emphasized this so I
would guess that there are no rainchecks being issued.  Recently, this chain
has been carrying more and more CD's and are growing their classical section
as well as starting others.  I have recently been to both the Burlington
and Framingham, MA stores and actually found some of the selections which
I wanted.  The sale runs from Sunday (12/8) to at least Saturday (they have
extended CD sales before).  Good shopping.

	A correction to .0 -- the "Burlington" (MA) Lechmere store is actually in Woburn, at the Woburn Mall. -- Nina

	Check the Harvard Coop also. Many of their CD's have a "%" on the price sticker, which indicates 20% off the sticker price. This is an all the time affair. They carry a lot of import Cd's that you don't often find elsewhee. --- jerry

231.4	3$ off classical CD sale at Newbury Comics	MOSAIC::MCNALL	Ralph, PCSG-A/AD, Littleton,MA WB2DCL	`Thu Jul 24 1986 09:45`	6
	Newbury Comics, Framingham, ... has most of their classical CDs on sale for $3 off which is $11.99 for everything except Telarc which are $12.99. They also have PolyGram Pop CDs on sale for $3 off $11.99. I don't know how long the sale is on for. /ralph
231.5	Other Newbury comics too	APOLLO::BERKSON		`Fri Jul 25 1986 13:18`	3
	That sale is at all 3 Newbury Comics - the ones in Boston and Harvard Square Too. I don't know for how long either.
231.6	Harvard Coop and Newbury Street Comix	COVERT::COVERT	John Covert	`Sat Nov 22 1986 16:24`	8
	The Harvard Coop is having a $3 off all CDs sale. Since their prices are normally high, this actually just brings them down to mostly $13.95. Newbury Street Comix is having a sale on all Philips, DG, and (was it) London. $12.99 per disc, and their Harvard Square store has a wonderful selection, including a disc I had just bought for a dollar more at the Coop. /john
231.7	And on sale at Discount Records	MERLYN::BILLMERS	Meyer Billmers, AI Applications	`Mon Nov 24 1986 12:53`	9
	Alas, I just bought some discs at the Coop Saturday. I couldn't find the single disk version of the new Bernstein West Side Story there so I walked down the street to Discount Records, and alas! they are having a $2 off sale on selected labels -- but the list is VERY long. I got West Side Story for $11.99. Their selection is not so big, but it's worth a look-see. I believe the Coop sale is only until Monday or Tuesday (today is Monday). At least, that's what the salesperson seemed to think.
