Around the LA area, there are only four stores I know of that carry LD discs,
and only one that rents.

	1) Nickelodian (sp?), which sells records and sheet music in
	   addition to video tapes/discs.  Unfortunately, the selection is
	   somewhat small, though many discs are a few dollars below list.
	2) Ken Crane's, which is where I bought my LD player, and whose
	   selection is much larger, though all are list price (except those
	   on sale).
	3) Music Plus, which sells a small selection of discs, some on sale,
	   but appears to be mostly in the business of rental on its video
	   stuff.
	4) Dave's video.  I have not been here yet, but they have the biggest
	   ad in the yellow pages.

Of course 1 and 2 above will special order any disc, which I assume 3 and 4
also do, but it would be nice to find a place with a large selection, and
with a discount.  Anybody around LA know of such a place?  Anybody been to
Dave's?  How about mail order?  (Maybe Columbia will add LD to it's Beta and
VHS video club)

Everyone talk to your favorite discount video tape dealer, and get them to
stock discs.
