2008 + Mixed by Adam — Adam Went to New York City And All I Got Was this Lousy CD

One of the greatest pleasures in life has to be record shopping in New York. Records you have wanted for ever, records you never knew existed, and records you wanted to exist but thought they probably didn’t. So on my recent visit I was dismayed to find that so many of my favourite vinyl dustspots were now closed.

RIP Dance Tracks (yes, Dance Tracks)

Satellite Records (now a kitchen “Trade Only” shop)

Rocks In Your Head (been gone a while – now a real estate agent)

Vinyl Mania (ironic name) as well as The One Across The Road — can’t remember the name – still full of records but looking pretty closed, plus lots of great smaller stores too numerous to mention.

However, there are still some amazing things to be found there if you’re willing to look hard, and this mix is a compilation of some of the gems dug up on that trip.
