As usual, yours are very difficult for me, but they make me stubborn, and I seem to enjoy that.
solved it by the 4th clue... weird... hmm...
this made no sence at all
too man eithers and ors
nice choice of music
These either/or puzzles are very interesting, and get my brain all tangled up. Thanks they are fun!
Uh, I better try that again
I agree with kronichony. Too many eighther/ors. How are you supposed to solve this? I can't seem to break anything down to fact. ...if you want to talk about it that is?

I agree too. Enough with the either/or's.
What's with all the eithers and ors? I can't think without solid facts!
I love the either/ors!!!!
I tried to solve it without the grid and couldn't get it to save my life lol. Once I used the grid tho I only needed 3 clues and I was golden.
Loved it! Loved the eithers/ors too!
To answer how to solve it (JOON above):
Fill in the facts you do know and then eliminate the portion of the either/or that doesn't fit. For example, clue 4: Either Meathead equals Slipknot OR Stabem equals SamGoody and CD-- Stabem was a NO CD based on clue 8 (Stabem had to be LP or tape). SO, you know that the true portion of clue 4 is Meathead purchased Slipknot.
Great teaser!

*AWESOME* teaser! I loved the either/ors! They were fun! Most other teasers just give facts away and simply state "Bob did this" or "Sally bought this" or whatever, but I loved the either/ors, where you had to think about them! Great teaser!
way too hard for me...but, I liked trying it...I didn't get it...all the either/or's got confused in my head. That's OK though...just tough
Loved the either/ors.
Thanks scallio! I'll have to retry that way. Fun to learn new things here isn't it? JOON
Either or. blah. i got so confused i missed something on each one. this was hard.

Great teaser! I usually like to have at least one solid fact, but this one got me thinking.
Great teaser!! Thought it was going to much harder but I got it first go! Bring on more like this.
I was thrown on clue 4 when you put the word "album" in the clue. Apparently that term is not synonomous with LP any more.
After fixing that anomoly, I can say, good teaser.

not one of my favorites
Great teaser! I enjoyed the alternative way you presented the clues. At first, it seemed too difficult, but it turns out all the necessary clues are there! So sad that all 3 record stores are now ancient history.
Vewy twicky.
