Oh yes! Yes, indeed. When I was there in December (and about as close as you and I came to meeting in person so far) I had a spare couple of hours between working time. "If" was on my list and it turned out I was in the vicinity. Jean-Claude was the best. He set me up with some excellent 7" soul/funk/reggae records. Scored a few strictly limited releases. Before I knew it I had piled up a stack of records that I just *could*not* leave without. Spent all my money there but it was worth it. He's got a way of reading a person's taste and once he's locked on to your style, you better have brought some serious cash. Set me well on my way to where I am at musically today.
Next time I'm there.... well, I'm there. ;-) MEK "Odeluga, Ken" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 10/11/2007 09:53:49 AM: > One of the best (and best hidden!) record shops on the soulful, jazzy > side of electronic music in London Michael! > > (Which sells a lot of Detroit-related records, before anyone complains > ...) > > Ken > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 October 2007 15:47 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: 313@Hyperreal.Org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: (313) fat cat > > > LOL - I still do that with shops I visit outside the US.
