I really love these videos, so thanks :) As for the Jazz Messengers store (and webstore) I have mixed feelings. It is great to have brick-and-mortar stores with a vast selection and very friendly people to help us shopping… but I can’t help to be disappointed with the CD selection, with more and more titles and reissues from copy-from-cd Spanish unknown labels. Since I am not interested at those, my interest in the store was vastly diminished over the last years. Note: I only buy CDs.
Thank you very much for your comment. I am also a CD-only guy (unless I see something I love that's never been released on CD). In that context, I did some great shopping at Jazz Messengers. However, nowadays, as with everything, you need to know what you are buying. While some labels do have crummy sound, others do try (and succeed) to give you good stuff. Plus, sometimes you get great bonus tracks. Check my video on "It's a great time to buy CD's". I never go to a record shop without checking options onlne on my phote. Is this the best version? Is it a remaster? Does it have bonus tracks? Did they just released a deluxe edition? This way, I make sure I always get the best that's available. This way I rarely get disappointed. Keep your music going! 😝
Hey... thanks for the comment! :-) This particular shop does NOT carry used records. However, take a look at my other videos, where I explore record shops with great used record collections. 🙂

Reissues are coming out everywhere, you can buy them online, and it is great. They are made better than the originals.
