can't find the music

[Anthony]

I have been trying to find about a dozen old disco songs with no luck. Does anyone know where to buy hard to find CD's ( I don't own a turntable). I'm not sure if this is allowed on this site. I'm not trying to do anything illegal, I am just trying to find some songs that I listened to 30 yrs. ago.
thanks for you help

it would be helpful to list the titles of the songs you're looking for..and in many cases, CDs won't be available for many older songs. Turntables are vital for fans of classic disco. I buy mine from Musician's magazine...good quality and good prices....

Hey Anthony! Good to see you post.

Try typing in the song names on allmusic and a CD compilation may pop up with that track on it. Even most obscure songs do appear on Cd at some point. It may be a greatest hits package, an import, or a compilation with many different artists.

If you want to post some accurate titles with artists and versions, I could help you find what disc its on today. As for stores or websites, the best and easiest retailer for hard to find CDs is Amazon-U.S. | Amazon-U.K., half.com at ebay, GEMM, Oldies.com (which has tons of Collectables, Atlantic, and Warner releases). Tower and Media Play used to have a nice supply of current issues at their store but they both has since closed .

PS: I'm a Cd collector only and I usually track down hard to find stuff as opposed to dig in record crates.

I agree with eddie. I'd start with allmusic first.

That way you know where to find those songs as well as the lengths and release date.
