Des Crombie Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 got a mate goin over in march wants to know if anywhere decent ?? Did lots of New Orleans vinyl get wiped out by Katrina ? I was record hunting in New Orleans the week before Katrina hut and I then went back a year or so after. Both times I found plenty of records, so don't think lots of vinyl got wiped out, though perhaps water damaged labels. I'd tell your mate to start off at Jim Russell's shop on Magazine street. 1
Andreas B Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Heard many a good thing about Domino Records, supposedly ran by one of the guys who off-shot from Mississippi Records in Portland, OR. Mississippi is probably my favorite all-around record store on the planet, so if Domino is sewn from the same seed I can only imagine there's some gold to be found there. I'm trying to make it out to NOLA in the spring myself so don't take all the goodies Edited January 6, 2013 by AndreasB 1
Guest Andy Carling Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I was over in New Orleans in May and went to Jim Russells on Magazine Street, its vinyl heaven and only $3.00 a record, but allow yourself plenty of time to sort through the records. Andy
Guest Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 river side recods Memphis 1000s of 45 but you will have to dig
Sebastian Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 As for Memphis, these are good: Shangri-La Records, 1916 Madison Ave Goner Records, 2152 Young Avenue The following is a tiny shop, but might be worth a look: Audiomania Records, 1698 Madison Ave 1

I was mainly there for a conference but managed to tag a few days on for record hunting. Edited January 9, 2013 by Des Crombie

Guest Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Don't know if it's still there,but if it is try Gold mine records in Harahan New Orleans.Got a few nice pieces from them many years ago. I was told at the time that it was this neighbourhood where Tommy Ridgley comes from. Chris.

Des Crombie Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Without going into to much detail Des , what's a 'po boy' Swifty Po boy is a traditional sub sandwich from Louisiana. my fave is with shrimp.
Swifty Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Po boy is a traditional sub sandwich from Louisiana. my fave is with shrimp. Phew ! I was a bit worried there matey Cheers Swifty 1
Andreas B Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Po'boys are the best! Fried Catfish one will usually do me right, drenched in Crystal Louisiana-Style hot sauce. You can even go for a gator one if you're feeling adventurous 2
