Question Record stores??

i'm wondering if any of you guys know of any good record stores that might have some hard to find vinyls i've been searching for.

any help will be appreciated

location not really an issue, perferrably somewhere in between Hamilton and Oshawa, which is a HUGE area

thanks

If not, I bought lots of LP long play and albums off of e-bay, can find almost anything on there and in great condition.

There is one in Oshawa I use to go to, but that would be a bit far for you.

There's a place on queen beside the Condom Shack called KOPS...they stock some rare things sometimes. It would help if u post the name of the artist.
