Dear list: Just returned home (harrisburg) from a bus ride To
Philadelphia's ElectriC Factory to See Massive Attack. Verdict:
definitely worth it but it was not perfect.
The Town: Philadelphia. Always love it! Went to the PHiladelphia
Records exchange a in the South Street Mega commercial area (odd that
Philadelphia'smost exciting area for shopping isnt the downtown but some
other place- a long story with race/ class/ gentrifcation overtones but
thats another time) phone number (215) 925 7892. They have numerous
copies of Unkle's newie ," Psyence Fiction " on Vinyl(ok -5 copies) as
well as one of those porno comps(damn forgot which). an lastly,some
trip hop comp with Christine MacVie(?!!).
Also picked over a copy of Straight, No Chaser magazine at Tower books(
one of three Tower presenes in the 3 block area the other being
Classical and Records) ; They(SNC) have a free promo cd with Sly and
Robbie as well as Ernest Ranglin(of ska fame). The Touch (uk black
music) has a promo cd of Beverley Knight and ... forgot. Im on a budget
