    Hi Pedro,

    I have just returned from LA myself three days ago with some nice vinyl.

    THriftstores generally dont carry as good a selection as
    they used to , so you might find it is a waste of time.

    For a good updated list of shops and dealers you really
    should get a copy of Record collectors news.

    It is mandatory reading if you want to get a good start.

    I know for sure you can get it here:

    Swapmeets and recordconvention.

    I went to the recordconvention in Buena park for the third time
    ever and as usual there was a great selection of
    obscurities over jazz to rare 12"īs , surf , breakbeats et al.

    Some dealers sold @ 50 cents .
    Priciest item I saw; Beatles - Butchers state @ 9.500$

    Last updated 2000, but in case you dont get a copy
    of Record collectors news, this will point you to
    some good stores still around.

    ......... and remember, you may bring two suitcases weighing
    64 pounds each internationally.

    I brought an additional 64 pounds two years ago flying Air France
    and the cost was only 125 $ . To my surprise , customs in Denmark
    smacked me down for another 150 $ so have your story ready
    on hand that you have been gigging or had the records as a present.

    Happy digging

    Kick Jazz,

    Walker

      I have a job interview at UCLA this weekend and will be in LA from Friday 11-07 through Tuesday 11-11. Could somebody please backchannel to me any decent record stores in the city of Angels as well as any noteworthy events happening this weekend. Any and all leads are greatly appreciated.
