Editorial Review for CD Alley – by Joe Caparo

In Short
CD Alley specializes in what's loosely called alterna-rock--and their inventory tends toward obscure and rare vinyl and CDs from that genre. It's just what the store's clientele craves, since most of the shoppers--and staff--are culled from the local music scene. It gets high marks for having plenty of cool CDs, obscure and foreign music press, and a knowledgeable, helpful staff.

Insider Tips

The Extras

Catch some of Chapel Hill's up-and-coming musicians tucked away in the corner during frequent in-store performances. Sure, it's small, hot and cramped, but you'll be sweating pure rock and roll.

The best record store in Chapel Hill. Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and unpretentious. Fine selection (but few duplicates), and tons of used CDs. Best prices you'll find anywhere.

Pros: Value, Service

A late entrant to the Chapel Hill record store derby, these guys have made quite an impressive showing.  See the full editorial review.
