Was FYE the wall before? I bought so many cd's from The Wall(back in the late 90's) and found a lot of my fav bands from that stores selection. I shop at FYE often as I get a 30% discount. They also have a lot of pretty cheap used discs at the one near me.

Yes, the parent company of FYE bought up a bunch of smaller operations (Strawberries, The Wall, Coconuts among others) and either closed 'em up or changed them to FYE's.

Yeah, the FYE in the last two towns I lived in were originally Camelot Music stores.

They closed them all around here. All but one, anyway. Last time I checked, there was one Strawberries left in Boston, a three-story shop. Wonder if it's still there?

I think I went into that one when the wife and I were in Boston a year or 2 ago. I can't remember if it was a Strawberries or not, but I definately remember going into a 3-story music store. I think the used section was all the way up-stairs on the 3rd floor.
