9. I would definitely use CD Central to promote an album release. Their staff is very knowledgeable,
friendly, and music minded. Lexington is a very busy city for Kentucky and the store was full of
customers while I was there, a perfect place to promote artists and albums. I’ll have to go back and
purchase a few records to make up for rushing through everything during the visit.
