Best Buy Not Stocking IYD?

Just checked their website....nothing listed (and they usually post new releases at least three to four weeks before the street date).

This will be a MAJOR blow to sales if this is indeed the case!

Pretty much. It costs Best Buy money to keep stuff on their shelves. That's valuable real estate that needs to be taken by an artist which will move lots of copies. The days of buying CDs in stores is very, very limited.

Just called my local record store.... the guy said that they'll "most likely" get the record in. Then I remembered that I'll be in NYC when it comes out and will have to somehow find it there!

Sad but true.

I go to Wal-Mart and look for Stevie all the time, the most I find is Crystal Visions, and the normal version of Rumours and I don't see that at everyone.

Owee! That hurts to think about, but it might be true.

Jondalar, I like your name. It sounds like an exquisite, exotic fragrance from Saks Fifth Avenue! You should find the highest bidder!

I almost DIED when I walked into HMV on Oxford Street in London earlier this year and found all THESE

I ca understand catalog, but a new release, and a pretty major one at that?
In fact, along with the Beastie Boys and Jennifer Lopez, Stevie is the biggest release for May 3rd!

Exactly. I don't see them not stocking it. They just may not have it available for preorder.

Interesting, this also points to the fact that Stevie's influence (which seems to have been slowly building in Europe the last decade) has finally bitten the UK - expanding beyond just OSOTM & Fleetwood Mac.

I was in Europe (Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, & Nederlands) for several months in 1990, and could not find Stevie Nicks cd's at all in the music stores I visited. Also when I was in London for 2 weeks in 1995, I came across the same dilemma. Fleetwood Mac -YES, Stevie Nicks-No. So it's great to see HMV stocking up on Stevie's solo catalogue.

Best Buy had copies of Soundstage, but I checked and they sat on the shelves forever.

Holy sheet.Look at all of those Stevie cds.I see 3 ot 4 slots full of Stevie cds.My local Walmart did nad a half a slot of Stevie cds at the time when the CV set was released.
But they have dozens and dozen of crap in stock.Also I've notice Walmarts cd collection section is shrinking down to one isle .and thats including the latino music section and the kiddie tunes section too.It looks like Itunes and Amazon are cutting in the big Walmart now.

There is no good record and cd shop in town no more so i have to see what Walmart will have on the 3rd.
