which is the best store of all these:
In Beat Records
Pop Shop
Au Tourne Livre
Le Exchange
Marche Du-Disque
Le Pickup
Tuyau Musical
Primitive
Francophonies
Beatnik
Terminal Records
Odyssey Books
Mars Records + Reviews
Redd Records
Somusique
AAA Records
thanks in advance to anyone with USEFUL info (unless you know of a combo strip club/ record spot, HAZ)
cheers
Le pickup is the best of all these spots if you're looking for OG pressings. Everything else on that list carries re-issues or stuff you could find in TO for the same price. Beatnick is owned by a cool dude, but he ebays a lot of his interesting records. Too many of these guys sell their good stuff on the bay. Primative is nice, but he's kinda like a poor man's cosmos. The records are half as dope & are just a little cheaper.
Odyssey has 5 records. I'm surprised they're in the yellow pages
AAA is reggae re-issues
Tuyau is cds
Marche Du-Disque may have some CTI stuff, but nothing very obscure
The best guys to buy from in the city are private doods who sell out their house.
Get a lap dance @ Club Downtown. Run a search for Raj & crew's digging experience in MTL...

Pop Shop is cool, i sort of remember finding a few bits and pieces there.
Le Pickup is probably le best.
Beatnick is worth dropping in.
Primitive- can't remember, but i think i hit that spot too.
BUt you best connect w/ Danno... he'll sell you some stuff.
I will, too. I'm back in town and am always happy to connect with strutters. Send me a PM.
