(313) urgent! L.A help needed!

2004-02-06 Thread alex . bond
Hello.

I'm after some urgent help!

My mate is off to LA in about 3 hrs and the dozy git just phoned me to ask
about record shops.
So, anyway, I remember some time ago a nice chap told me about a killer 2nd
hand shop in LA, I think its quite well known.
But the name escapes me. (famous disco digging spot?)

can anyone provide any links, or has any info? even names of shops would be
great, any leads at all much appreciated.
I think 2nd hand shops are what he's after, old 12's more than likely

or, any distribution warehouses, digging spots, anything he might find the
odd rare piece or two.

Many thanks,

Alex

erm, also, for the factory fans on the list, I picked up a massive bunch of
postcards advertising the Peter Saville show here in Manchester last night,
quite nice set of 4 postcards, they were free, if anyone wants a set please
hit me back with your address and I'll post some out to you. I work in a
postroom so no worries if you're abroad or anything.

i don't know about the famous disco digging spot (though i'd love to), but
WAX (on melrose) is doc martin's shop and is certainly staffed by proper
house-heads who could prolly point him in the right direction.

Actually- I believe Doc left Wax, although I hear its pretty solid. I
believe Marc was just there...

Ameoba is the crazy big store. Row after row after row of new and used
EVERYTHING. That's up on Sunset at Ivar

Arons on Highland is a bit more managable, though not nearly as extensive.
They do however have listening stations which Ameoba does not.

I've also cruised through Beat Non Stop (near Wax). Didn;t spend much
time, but it seemed like a solid place for techno. Can;t vouch for how
deep' their bins go.

I found some great stuff at WAX while I was in LAtheir used bins are
chock full of Techno goodies for like 2.99 - 5.99.  It's definitely worth a
look.
