I just got back from Vortex -- I go to Toronto on business a lot. I didn't get time to go through the vinyl this trip, but the CD selection is decent. Sonic Boom on Bloor just expanded and has more vinyl in the basement than it used to have upstairs.

I need to go to Around Again; I haven't made it there yet. If it's recommended I'll check it out.

thanks, and let us know if you find anything new!

Dear friends,
Thanks for your recommendation.
I called up these stores and found out directions to get there ( I don’t have a car yet)
I am sure I get something as I heard Canadian second hand vinyl stores have a lot to offer.
