{NY Story} My Records Acquisition in 2006

來紐約超過一個禮拜了，話雖如此其實中間有五天是在Orlando的Disney World玩它的四大主題樂園，所以頭一個禮拜逛唱片行的火力算尚未全開。但想逛的也差不多三分之二都已去過，其他還沒光顧的新店舊店心裡也已經有個譜，還有預算限制的考量下，行李應該不會再增加太多罷。西四街的Tower與Tower Outlet關門大吉是令人感傷的事，回顧2001-2003除讀書外有不少青春都耗在這塊區域。欣慰的是每間令人懷念的唱片行仍依舊憑印象就找到，而且那股狂狷氣味似乎沒改變，至少代表著實體唱片業的沒落還沒大幅打擊紐約市幾間指標性唱片行的生存，只要像我們這小撮"Serious Music Buffs"還在，Downtown Music Gallery / Other Music / Kim's Video / Academy等都仍能延續下去。此行目前為止最令我驚艷的唱片行不在紐約而是佛羅里達Disney World園區內Downtown Disney的Virgin Megastore規模不但超大，裡面居然有不少FMP跟Philology等少見CD以不到五塊的價格(原價27.99)在清倉特賣，可惜要去趕飛機了否則會在那裡多敗更多東西。

到目前為止在紐約買的唱片數量已不少，若包含在Amazon與eBay標到的在內，CD新品與二手比例大約是1:3，LP幾乎都是二手品項。CD除了La Dusseldorf跟豐住芳三郎以外都被控制在二十塊以內，總的來說單價平均約十二三塊左右。LP的價差範圍就比較大了，從99cents到二三十塊都有，平均價格跟CD應該差不多。以下是截至12/30/2006的戰利品展示 --
