Dear list: just came back from a day trip from my hometown of harrisburg to
THE BIG CITY(Filthydelphia pa) ! Boy there is an explosion of record stores
catering to the "soundboy" set( a term Igot from Spin magazine). Not only
is the Rock and Roll record exchange adding more vinyl and reissues but
you have 611 records doing uptempo aj list music , then down the street you
have a downtempo/ soundtracks /reggae /hip hop new vinyl store( i saw the
jurassic5 ep there in quantity). This last has a web site and issort of a
brick and mortar Dustygroove.com .The owner invited me to a downtempo party
but i had to go home.Im sorry i didnt take notes as to the name of all
these places but the street with 611 was where there were 4 including 611
and the piunk store across the street. Also Over top of zipperhead (a Philly
institution there is a store that also has a 'soundboy vinyl' section plus
weird cds and videos.
