There is a shop called Croc-o-disc, nearest Metro is Odeon, then a 5/10 min walk. Lots of used records there. They have 2 shops next to each other - one rock and the other soul/afro/jazz/disco. Never found anything super good there though, but worth a look. There are also some markets to the north of paris, ask when you get there.

Still not satisfied? Try the massive Porte de Clignancourt flea market, Sat-Sun, turn left after the underpass, keep going for a few minutes and presto, funk galore.

That Samad shop on Rue St.Martin is so friendly. The guy let me go behind the counter & play records while he went outside to chat to his friends! :P I also went to another shop near the pompidou centre which was very gay (specialised in Euro divas)& they gave me an Amanda Lear card! The records were in really good condition too which is different to my experience in UK shops! :x

Thanks, I'm back from Paris, the bad news is that "One Way" rue de Marivaux doesn't exist anymore....

Beat squeeze was closed this monday morning...

Then I did go to "Chez Youri" where I found the 12" Delight - Is it too late

This morning, I checked Samad where I found B Baker Chocolate Co & Ashford & Simpson LP...

Then to Betinos where I did not found someting for me

Next time I will check to other shops...
