Some good Avant Garde/Electronics there too. If it's mint, it's more expensive than elsewhere, if it's VG+ (conservative), it's cheaper than elsewhere. He likes trades if you bring him old Blue Notes. Very little (mainstream) pop.

Weird price tags, but nice knowledgable advice. Gary used to work for Gong, Marianne Faithfull and such 70ies illuminaries. You will rarely find a real deal as he knows the stuff, but it can still be under market value.

Hi boys
After all your advice (many thanks), spent a great 3 days in Paris wandering the streets to many of the stores on list in this thread, concentrating on disco, soul etc.
Not much in the way of amazing stuff that you can't purchase in UK but still great for a dig and to meet all the characters that run these stores.

Also STREET SOUND on Rue Ganneron has closed down for good as well.

Looks like these stores are slowly falling foul to the internet trade.

Also, many re-issues were seen so keep an eye out if you are only after original pressings.

Did find:
1. Cerrone VII - Your Are the One LP (Malligator) with original poster for 5 euros
2. Passengers - Hot Leather (Uniwave) for 10 euros
3. Vin Zee - Funky Bee Bop (Fulltime) for 8 euros

And a few others, but this was over 3 days of finding not much.

Good luck!
