NY Times in Praise of Indy Music Stores

The NY Times wrote a piece on the Princeton Record Exchange, an old-fashioned CD and LP store (in Princeton NJ) remarkably like Ithaca's own Small World Music.

SWM focuses more on new releases than PREX does (this week: new Rolling Stones, REM, Thousands of One, and K.D. Lang). And unlike PREX, we have never been compared to the shop in the movie "High Fidelity". Our store is a bastion of charm, if we do say so ourselves.

But we're similar to PREX in our unpretentious quarters (theirs is described as "appealingly ratty"; we are in a renovated garage), and our dedication to providing quality products at excellent prices to people who love music.
