Subject: Bargain CD's, Canada
About a year ago my brother put me on to an unusual place to get some very good inexpensive CD's. He told me he picked up the best of Sun Records CD at the local Sunoco gas station for $6.99 Canadian (About $4.70 U.S).

Since then I have browsed through their selections whenever I get gas. This morning I bought Woody Guthrie, Pastures of Plenty. It is a 26 track CD that includes the title track, John Henry, Do Re Mi, Sinking of the Reuben James, Gypsy Davey, Grand Coulee Dam, Pretty Boy Floyd, Philapelphia Lawyer, This Land is Your Land etc. He is joined on a few tracks by the likes of Leadbelly, Sonny Terry and Cisco Houston. The sound quality is quite good.

I have also purchased CD's by Billie Holiday,Louis Armstrong, Johnny Winter and Louis Prima. Some of them aren't the greatest recordings, but each one has a few gems and at $6.99 you can't beat them.

They seem to rotate the inventory regularly. I would recommend keeping an eye ont their selections.
