Re: [ARSCLIST] Other memorable record stores
NYC in the 60's had a shop on Broadway around 12th st - can't remember
the name - incredible cutouts including Riverside.
A shop on 6th or 7th avenue run by Ernie LeMire had seemingly miles78rpm
albums in a tiny shop and basement.
S.Klein had really inexpensive lp's from Stinson (the green jackets with
the cover slicks pasted on, sometimes with the 10" notes inside)
In the UK late 1980's I always found interesting lp's at Potter's Music
in Richmond, Dobell's in London, and Caruso & Co (78s also)
San Francisco had Sea of Records, closed late 70's or early 80's
Discount Records (part of the cbs chain) in Scarsdale NY was run by one
of the ex A&R men from Musicraft - I think he did the Sarah Vaughan
sessions??????? long gone (as is the chain, which I think was used by
Columbia for market research)
Still around is Village Music in Mill Valley California (just over the
bridge). Incredible collection of lp's all musical areas,
Down Home Music in El Cerrito (north of Berkeley) owned by Chris
Strachwitz's Arhoolie has wonderful world wide roots music cd's and some
lp's/
Best wishes, Thomas.
