Circuit City rocks the Vinyl

Posted by Daniel Stout on Thu 20 Dec 2007 at 10:48 PM

The more re-issues I see on vinyl and the compelling selection of new releases, the more I think that vinyl is here to stay. I’m amazed at the selection at the Exclusive Co. But the gaps in the local store’s selection can be filled by the copious amounts of vinyl found online. I’ve linked before to musicdirect, a fine purveyor of vinyl and audiophile SACD and DVD-A releases. They also have a nice selection of gear.

But it has come to my attention that one of the big box electronics retailers has an extensive selection of vinyl on their website. Indeed, Circuit City has a mammoth selection of vinyl. There’s a Circuit City in my town, but I’ve never been inside. I’ve never ordered anything off of their website either, so I can’t really speak to what their service is like. But they do have a lot of great releases on vinyl at fairly reasonable prices as well.

You can search by genre or by label or by price or by decade, etc. They have a total of 10,566 different LPs in their catalog, with 8,849 costing less than $20. It’s pretty amazing actually. Who knew that Circuit City had so much vinyl? This may be the most complete collection of new vinyl that I’ve seen. Wow.

And that’s just the LPs. They also have 5,149 12” singles available as well. And if the banner ad is to be believed, they have free shipping on orders over $24. This is definitely one-stop shopping for vinyl.
