Where would I be on a rainy day in Paris? The used record shop of course! I visited this Sainte Germain neighborhood shop last year, and it is even more disorganized this time around. However, the prices are great and I was able to grab a handful of CDs that would be hard to find in the states, each for $1.50.
I found a large used record shop in Paris, in the the cool Saint Germaine neighborhood.
There were boxes, and boxes of worn-out vinyl records, as well as CDs. However, there was no organization whatsoever! I was in the middle of all this great music, but a bin might have some horrible French K-Tel record type albums, mixed in with Miles Davis “Kind of Blue”, a Fabian, a Dolly Parton, Dora the Explorer, Sinatra, Teletubbies, Bowie, Beyonce, Maurice Chevalier, Jacques Brel, Shania Twain and “Yogi Bear et Amis!”
It was like being in “Luke’s Record Exchange” back home in Pawtucket, with record bins organized by Luke and Jean-Paul Satre, when what I needed the precision of “In Your Ear” Records, formerly on Thayer Street, now in Warren. C’est la vie.
After some frustrating bin searches with Linda pacing outside the shop, I found a Thomas Ferson CD for $1.50 I really like Ferson, and have never seen this one in the states.
Here’s a catchy song from the CD, “Les Papillions” Listen once and you’ll be singing it all day!
