Regarding the vinyl…We have lots. We have all types. For information about the basics, refer to our previous postings.
We have a brand new bin of operatic works (although most of the Pavarotti was just scooped as soon as it went out) as well as some great new offerings in the jazz bin.
For Thursday we have the following specials. All of these items are priced at 25 cents per album:
- Crooners and Soft Rock… we have a somewhat reduced selection of items from Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdink, Julio Iglesias, Placido Domingo, Johnny Mathis, etc.
- Various Vocal… especially Christmas and holiday music… featuring the Toronto Children’s Chorus, the Mendelssohn Choir, the Festival Singers, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Vienna Boys Choir, and more…
Looking for that perfect Father’s Day gift? Look no further… We have a selection of “very special LP’s” which are individually priced (more than $2 per item!)… Please talk to Library staff if you are would like to know what we have set aside. A sampling of these items includes:
