Hey guys,

I'm going to NOLA this week and plan on hitting some stores. I've been to Euclid and Peaches on previous trips, but I'm wondering if there's any other good spots in town. Let me know, thanks.

    Domino Sound, best in town, and a really great brand new shop Disko Obskura with lots of synth/funk/electro records. Louisiana Music Factory sometimes has some gems lying around and is definitely worth going to as well. It's right on Frenchmen now, so don't go to their old Decatur location.
    there's also a little shop called Captain's Vinyl, i've never done well there but worth maybe stopping into if you're nearby. just don't expect to get some amazing comeup.
    if you're looking for more punk/metal/new vinyl there's skully'z & a little shop being run out of the music venue gasa gasa uptown.

    Hey Tgone. I was just in New Orleans. Such an amazing place!

    I would definitely second Louisiana Music Factory for jazz records. They have really nice listening stations as well
    Domino also gets my recommendation. Nice little spot. Pretty unique

    I spent a day digging at Jim Russell Rare Records on Magazine St. in 1998 but ended up not getting anything because he wanted 2x the marked prices of the records I picked. Huge inventory, including an "oddball 45s" wall, but go at your own risk.
