Backspacer in NYC

edited October 2009 in The Porch
Has anyone actually found a record store somewhere in New York City that is selling the album? My neighborhood is blessed with several small record stores, but not one of them has it. I've looked in shop windows and not seen it, no posters, nothing. If anyone knows of a location where I can buy Backspacer over the counter, please respond.

(I know, I know.... I can download it, or I can rent a car and drive out to Long Island and buy it at a Target, but...)

Thanks.

    You don't have to go to Long Island...There is a Target in The Bronx off of the 2 or 3 train...I think it is the 225th Street stop on the train...That's where I purchased my Backspacer CD...

    I did see a bunch of Backspacers at the Riverdale Target (225th st) in the Bronx last week.

    Is there really a Target there? I know they've had a huge billboard there of Target. And one would think there would be one. But there wasn't.

    A Target in Times Square... really!? I stay as far away from the place as possible *shudders*

    Sounds like the OP is asking for an indy record store, NOT a Target.

    Citizen54 - check this site: http://www.cimsmusic.com/ and look for locations in NYC. These stores definitely have it!

    Hey THANKS everyone. I knew I could count on this group.

    I just walked thru Times Square the other day but didn't see a Target store. However, I walk quickly thru that part of town. (As Tone said: shudders.)

    Checked the CIMS site, as Jeanwah suggests.... three stores, none in NYC. I would indeed prefer to buy from an indy store, but if they don't want to stock good music.... Target it is. At least $5 goes to the band.

    Gracias, and see you all at the next NYC show.
