Any info please...

I'm off to Orlando next week for a trade show and just wondered if anyone could recommend any record shops worth a visit, while my buddies are having "fun" at Disneyland!

I hear there's not much there!

Cheers

Thanks for confirming my worst fears!

there is rock n roll heaven but don't expect to find much.

i was there about 18 months ago and found 5 x 45's & nothing too exciting.

but you never know.

I think everyone's being a bit pessimistic. Admittedly I haven't been to Florida for the last 10 years but I went several times between 1980-2000 and never failed to find decent stuff. Who knows what might be dumped in a flea market on the week you go? Everyone told me that I wouldn't find anything there in 2001 and I found one of the best collections I've ever seen all as a result of buying a few things from a junk box in a flea market and then being invited around to the house where the other 25K records were!

It's probably pointless going to the obvious stores but if you're prepared to dig around a bit and go off the beaten track a couple of times then who knows? Be bold!

Mate of mine stopped at a little flea market on his way from beach to luch couple of years ago, picked up 15 copies of Spinners - I Just Want To Fall In Love nice & cheap, always worth looking!!

Go to Bananas in Tampa, about an hour away. Well hit but loads of 45s to go at, you never know!

Orlando has Rock & Roll Heaven which is worth a visit if you are in the area. There's also a couple of smaller stores but none stock a larger quantity of 45s.

And last time I was there I got a Kadoo Strings "Nothing But Love" on Impact , a J.B. Bingham on U.A. and handful of Lew Kirton "Heaven In The Afternoon" white promos. A couple of hours in the back. Hey presto. What's not to like?

Thanks to all you guys who've responded with the suggestions - all I need to do now is find some spare time !

go to Bananas in Tampa if you want to spend all day searching through his records for anything good and then wait for the guy to look every record up on popsike for a price

There's a lot to be said for pre Popsike/e-bay/Manship guide days for sure.

My last trip to the U.S. three years ago covered New York, Pitsburgh, New Jersey and all the way up to Buffalo and back and the general rule seemed to a 'no prices, pick anything you want, bring it to the counter 2 hours before closing, come back at closing and we'll tell you the price' kinda thang. Took all the fun out of it and gave me the impression that I was working for them, simply pulling out all the goodies.

This is where we could really do with time-travel innit?

Thats true Val but I came away with 5 copies of Chi-lites "Try my side of love" at $10 each and a few deep goodies that wern't listed at $5-$8 each which I was very pleased with for a couple of hours browsing.

He does seem to think that JM is the only dealer in the UK though.
