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.

By the way, Does record stores have a summer vacation in france or in Pris?

First 15 days of August at least. It could be more as last week of july and the next 3 or 4 weeks.
You can ask them by e-mail.

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!

cicero & qp, i think the best thing to do would be to keep the list only and update it all three of us.

next updates could include phone numbers, opening hours, subway stations...

Im going to stay in Paris for a good while (february actually). Could you please recommend me a few good record stores? I have already started to explore them myself, and spent a few days here two times before, but I think I would need some help. Would really appreciate it, thanks!

hey I am traveling around the world chasing record stores etc and I follow Discogs closely but I must say keeping up with whats still open & whats closed is hard to follow sometimes. Can't we have a central list for each country that is directly updated with closed or not next to it rather than go though all the posts to work it out? After all god knows they need our business as I'm finding out the longer I travel.
That said anyone help me on second hand electronica & hip hop stores in Paris?

first of all, thanks for the reply guys!
I would not define a genre, as I like quite a lot, but I like a lot of things that can be found on boomkat.com or at rushhour.nl.

mostly, I'm into the dilla style newish hip-hop (mostly instrumental) and stuff that are put out by the label jazzy sport for example.

I also equally love 60s-70s type of funk, tricky dubstep 12s, experimental electronics (mostly ambient or noise type of stuff) but I would also like to buy a few art rockish stuff.

If you could suggest a few records stores with a reasonable price that still exist, where I can find 2 or 3 of these specific genres at the same time that would be more than awesome. It would also be very great to have a wide spectrum of each genre at the given record store, as, most of the time, I'm not looking for the mainstream kind of stuff within a genre.

oh and one more thing, my wantlist is not really up-to-date. I'm too lazy to erase stuff that I added a long time ago and don't want any more.

and thanks for all your help, much appreciated. i guess im in great need of some sort of a guide.
cheers

next tomorrow? what do you mean? is there a final sale? : DD

Thanks for your reply btw. I have visited Bimbo Tower yesterday on account of your recommendation. It is really a place to see. Lots of wierd, obscure stuff. Full of noise/experimental electronics, and guitar music from the milder kind of stuff till the very harsh, hard to find japanese records. There are also some books and artworks if I'm not mistaken.

I was at the artwork/bookshop called Lazy Dog, where I met a very friendly chap, who told me that Silly Melody, Silence de la Rue and Betino's are a good place to find some great electronica-hiphop.

Silly Melody indeed, second hand. Silence de la rue, way more unlikely...

If you liked Bimboo, you should check Souffle Continu

And indeed as of tomorrow, 12" Will be closed for good.
