To all of our friends and valued customers: greetings and happy holidays!
If you have not heard, changes are coming to Rainbow Music & Books! As some of you have expressed various concerns to us about this, we would like to take a minute to let you know about the upcoming plans for our (and your!) store.
Over the next couple of months, Rainbow Music & Books will be renovating and moving to the back half of our current retail space at 54 E. Main Street, making room for Switch Skate & Snow (currently located at 16 Haines Street) to move into the front half of the store. In the process of doing this, we will be announcing several special sales and promotions, which will be advertised and announced via our e-mail list (subscribe on our website, www.rainbow-online.com) and our Facebook/Twitter pages.
No major changes will happen until after the start of the New Year. We will be closed for renovations and shifting and sorting of inventory for most of January. Look for special hours of operation (and some pretty incredible sales!). We have a projected grand re-opening date (for both Rainbow and Switch) of February 1, 2011.
Upon re-opening, we will continue to offer an extensive selection of new & used CDs, LPs, DVDs & books, and will continue our special order services at no extra cost. Further, all gift certificates and trade credit will remain valid and acceptable (unless, of course, you lose them!), and we will still be accepting trade-ins.
Though the floor space will be smaller, this move will allow us (in spite of the difficult economy and a difficult industry) to continue to serve the community as we have since 1978. We are all very excited and enthusiastic about this move, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask any of the staff.

Ray Lamontagne – God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise
CD $12.99
“As the album’s title suggests, it’s a country-tinged record complete with slide guitar and the occasional banjo. The songs conjure images of a simple life of hammock naps and skillet-cooked breakfasts within a universe devoid of cell phones, laptops and televisions.” – Full Review
David Gray – Foundling
CD $11.99
“The customary bleak introspection (“Take me down, take me down,” he sighs, preparing for the worst, on Davey Jones’ Locker) is there, as is the neediness in his jagged voice, especially on the bloodily raw When I Was in Your Heart. ” – Full Review
Iron Maiden – Final Frontier
CD $11.99
“Here we are, some 35 years after Iron Maiden began creating a legacy which the band never set out to make for itself, and the group sounds as tight and energetic as it ever has. Not only that, but Iron Maiden is making music that is—shocking for a band of its age—honestly relevant in the grand scheme its genre; if you were to take away Maiden at this point in time, the band would leave a hole in today’s metal scene, not just the metal scene in general.” – Full Review
John Mellencamp – No Better Than This
CD $13.99
“Whatever you think of Mellencamp, this is the kind of record that will compel a re-evaluation, an out-of-leftfield shot that mostly works because of its modesty, shagginess and humor – qualities not normally associated with the singer in the past.” – Full Review
