If you are able to get to Columbia, SC (about 100 miles from Charleston), there is maybe the best used vinyl and CD shop in the nation. I live in the metro Washington,DC area and whenever I visit my hometown, which is Columbia, I go by Papa Jazz. It's located on Green Street in Five Points near the University of South Carolina campus. On my last trip home I picked up Sarah Vaughn with Duke Ellington "Song Book One", my third copy of Grover Washington, Jr.'s "A Secret Place", Thelonious Monk plays Duke Ellington, Hank Crawford and Jimmy McGriff "On the Blue Side", and The Don Pullen/George Adams Quartet - "Breakthrough". All were in great shape and the pressing of Grover Washington piece had the dynamics of the first pressing that I got back in 1976 that I played to death on my old BIC 940 TT. They played it for me in the store. It's interesting that you can travel the world and the finest things can sometimes be found in your own backyard.
