There are still a few CD shops around, generally the better ones have
survived. I ordered a triple CD Leonard Cohen set the other day.

Maybe down under, but dedicated CD stores are an endangered species in LA.
I'm not sure if there's anybody that just sells new CDs and nothing else.

What does it matter if they sell other things? Our biggest CD store chain is
JB HiFi who sell all manner of audio and video equipment, along with CD's,
DVD's and Blu-Ray discs. They also stock far more CD's that any of the CD
only stores ever did, and those that have managed to survive. Although a
couple of dedicated ones do specialise in niche genres only if that's your
thing. Most of those have long gone though, and I suspect any left will soon
follow. Far easier for them to reach a wider audience at lower cost on the
web now.
