From electronics superstores to one-man retro shops, the search for music in Lincoln can be a winding experience. “When I first came to school here, the only store I had heard of was Best Buy,” said Brian Stem, an undeclared freshman. “Now I’m more of a mom and-pop-shop fan.” Other small-store-goers agreed “I think Lincoln is lucky to have stores like Recycled Sounds and Zero Street,” said Marian Holtz, a Lincoln resident. “There aren’t a lot of towns this size that have stores like that. “Usually, people just have to settle forMusicland.” But some Lincolnites said they still prefer the big time. “Generally speaking, the bigger stores - the Best Buys and the Camelots - have a better selection,” said Lincoln resident Anthony Walker. “I guess it depends what music you’re looking for. “I’ll stick with the big boys.” Record stores: Backtrack Records,3833 S.48*h St Located just across the street from Union College, one might expect Backtrack to cater largely to a college crowd, but the store’s customers range from window shoppers to hard-core collectors. Owner Jeff Loos has gath ered thousands upon thousands of vinyl gems here, and most of them are avail able at low prices. The store also fea tures a substantial used-CD stock. Best Buy, 400 N. 48th St. Probably Lincoln’s biggest music retailer, Best Buy is a good place for new releases, with an impressive selec tion and prices that are usually a bit lower than those of other new music stores. Camelot Music (located in Gateway Mall, 6100 O St) A national music chain, Camelot has a reasonable selection of new releas es, but falls short after that. Prices vary, but they’re usually pretty high. Disc Go Round, 50010 St. If you’re looking for used compact discs, look no further. This store is the best spot in town to find used discs, with a seemingly endless collection. The store’s computer also allows customers to search for in-stock selections. Homer’s (three locations: 1339 O St., 6105 O St., 2711S. 48th St.) This Omaha-based music chain has the area’s most consistent selection and prices that fall somewhere between Best Buy and Camelot. At the very least, the store’s employees are usually knowl edgeable and shopping there gives one the satisfaction of buying locally. Recycled Sounds, 12110 St. Much like Backtrack Records, Recycled Sounds is a haven for those seeking out older vinyl. This store is as known for its selection of film and music posters as it is for its records. Zero Street Records, 14110 St. Zero Street is Lincoln’s best source for new vinyl and indie rock on compact disc. The store also boasts an eclectic collection of used music, ranging from show tunes to Devo.
