Peoples Records Detroit In Blaze


Recommended Posts

Hi All

Many of you will know Brad and his 'Peoples Records' on Forrest Ave, Detroit. Sadly last night the building his shop was in was gutted by fire. He is carrying on business just round the corner in the basement of his flat. Alot of the stock is under water from the fire, but he still intends carrying on, he doesn't want phone calls as he has his hands full getting things sorted. But messages of support, I'm sure he would like, via a PM from here or his Myspace page.

We're all thinking of you Brad

Your Buddy Dave

That's his message he has sent around on myspace...

Friends,

I am sorry to report that Detroit's Forest Arms apartment building was lost early this morning to a massive fire. The building is toast. Our new location is in the basement of my apartment, at 5835 Third St., just south of Antoinette.

If anybody wishes to help out, how about sending a prayer out to the hundred or so people who lived there who are now homeless, and lost pets, and probably in a lot of cases, everything they owned to the blaze.

People's Records will continue on without even really ever stopping. Unfortunately, I have to just about start over. Everything there is under about 4 feet of water. Literally.

Also, if you have any photos of the old place, email peoplesrecordsdetroit@gmail.com

I think we may be having a benefit at the Bohemian within the next week or so; details to follow.

So, if anybody wants to stop by the house on Third, Zac, Anibal and I are preparing the basement, and getting things ready for our newest incarnation.

That's today. I don't think anything can be done at the store right now; it's going to take a whole lot of sump pumps to eventually get all the water out of that basement. 5,000 gallons A MINUTE were being pumped in.

Phone calls don't really help right now; my voicemail is already full. Stop by the house on Third if you want to help.

IF YOU HAVE SOME W__D that would be great.

best,

brad

p.s. I needed a vacation anyway.

p.p.s. Still paying CA$H for old records.

Good lord. Brad is easily one of the best guys involved in 'the scene' over here - an upstanding soul citizen, and operator of one of the true lifeblood's of the record world.

Good luck to 'im - I've gotta go start planning a benefit gig...
