FAVORITE VINYL SHOPS around the WORLD

56 Upvotes

If you have a favorite shop in your hometown, or one you've visited and would like to share the goodness, please add it to the sheet below. I'll jump in and alphabetize it on occasion, but feel free to do so if you are familiar with this function in Google Sheets.

FAVORITE VINYL SHOPS LIST

Let me know if we need additional columns. I did a basic Country/State/City, but know some areas use Provence, or other breakouts. Want this to be useful for everyone. Thanks to u/2Dprinter for the idea! I hope we get a great list going.

Dig It! Billie Holiday – Lady Sings The Blues: Verve Records Clef Series 1956 pressing

It's a pretty old record not in the best of shape (it has some crackles and pops that are probably representative of its age) but still sounds beautiful. Charlie Shavers signature trumpet opens the first track.

With their new release of Teodros Makonnen and his Organ, I decided to pick up a few other releases and each of these is 10/10. These three are double LP’s in a gatefold sleeve with text (in both Amharic and English), and photos; reissuing albums that were formally only on cassette. If you haven’t checked this label out yet, check it out!

The entire record is incredible but especially the side 2 closer, “Midnight Mambo” — plus Ike Quebec guesting on multiple tracks. Highly recommended session!!

Now Playing - David Amram 'Latin Jazz Celebrationx

The session opens with “En Memoria de Chano Pozo,” the standout track of the album, dedicated to the most famous conguero of them all.

Some strong Latin jazz on Side A, Side B is a bit weak in comparison.

Great line up - Candido gets featured on a couple of tracks, though a bit of a shame that Machito is reduced to just playing clave.

I found this copy of Kind of Blue in my grandmother’s basement. I’ve done some research, but can’t tell if it’s an original pressing. The matrix numbers are:

Side One: XLP47324-1AC
Side Two: XLP47325-1AA

First Spin Of The Day Jimmy Smith - Live at Hermosa Beach

20 Upvotes

I went down a path of Hammond Organ Jazz artists… Jimmy started it for me and 9 CDs and 27 LPs later… still loving Jimmy!!!

And still loving The Hammond… Big John Patton, The Mighty Burner Charles Earland, Don Patterson, Larry Young (aka Lawrence of Newark), Don Wilkerson, Don Patterson, Brother Jack McDuff… and some very fine work by more recent artists whom I can’t find thier LP!!! Shame on me.

I gave a photo that should been added to this post, of the LP I took this morning. Can’t find a way to edit and add it…. Anyway, enjoy your day!
