Any good record stores in Arizona?

Going down to Arizona soon I was wondering if there is any good record stores stores to hit up

Send TrogDawn a PM. He lives in Phoenix, I think.

I've been to the Phoenix area a couple of times and shopped at Zia Records. Excellent selection and I do believe there a couple of locations to choose from.

Metal Devastation

I just looked it up. Looks good. But is it all just black and death metal or is there like traditional heavy metal and thrash?

Hey man, there are a ton of record stores in Phoenix, a few off the top of my head:

ZIA Records (4 locations)
Double Nickel Record Store Collective (at least 5 stores under 1 roof)
Thrifty Joe's
Revolver Records (2 locations)
The Record Room

Very cool! Which ones are the best to get decent price metal and punk cd and vinyl?

Check the Half Price Books in Phoenix, I think there are 2. Those stores are always swimming in good stuff.

University one is closed. They are all pretty much the same, but the ones I frequent are the Thumderbird (close to my home), Camelback and Mill locations.

Hey, that's the one I went to a few times when I've been out there.

Yah, right now I'm torn between the thunderbird location of Zia and revolver records since those will be closest to where I'm going to be. I can only go to one due to time constraints and I'm the only one who likes to go to record stores. Plus I'm bringing albums to trade.
