YOUR HOMETOWN RETAILER OF GOOD TUNES, PRICED RIGHT 110 WATER STREET, Port Perry (905) 985-0804 (Waterpark Condominiums, across from ball diamonds) Pre-recorded cassette tapes have changed over the past decade...for the better. In the past, one might purchase a CD and then tape it at home due to the poor reproduction and low tape quality usually associated with such pre-recorded tapes. Realizing such a sales loss, recording companies have been upgrading their cassette quality and recording standards, resulting in a much better investment for the consumer, comparable to home recording or surpassing it. Knowing the changes in music sales is one thing, but knowing where to purchase from a store with a good in-stock selection at fair prices along with personalized service is quite another. CIRCULAR SOUNDS first opened in November, 1988, and was relocated to the current site 3 years ago. Owner RICHARD JONES acquired the firm in May, 1990. Just by knowing the artist or song title, the staff at CIRCULAR SOUNDS can help you find the selection you want. Catalogue listings can be seen in printed form or on a computer screen. They can let you know what's hot for each age group, and when new releases are available. This store maintains a large inventory of compact discs & cassette tapes at all times, featuring your favourite music artist or band, whether it be rock, alternative, jazz, classical, country & Western, a children's entertainer or Christmas selection. Special orders are taken for hard to get items and imports. You can also get blank cassettes, replacement CD jewel cases, as well as CD and cassette carry cases and racks. Stop by CIRCULAR SOUNDS just to see what's new or when you're ready to buy. Whether it's for the kid's, yourself or for a friend, they are the perfect place for year round gift ideas and stocking stuffers!
