Hello MRO!

A quick price comparison between Resolute and Amazon seems to  
indicate that prices are on par. Some titles on Resolute are  
less $s.

Visiting a physical store is part of a discovery process too.  
The shop owner could make informed suggestions for a new  
artist.

Sometimes the info on the back of an album can be the final  
selling point.  Can't do that with online listings.

In the case of Resolute, it offers a vinyl flattening service  
as well.  Maybe that helps people revive poorly stored LP  
collections back to life.

The attraction for NEW vinyl at $40+ prices still surprises me  
though.
