Wrecka Stow: Crocodisc – Paris, France

Located at 42 Rue des Écoles (across from the Collège de France), Crocodisc takes up two store fronts and both are jammed full of records and discs.

“Don’t be afraid to ask what you’re looking for!” – Good advice. There’s a lot to dig through here.

That’s just one wall. One of the storefronts is mostly rock and electronica. It has sections for stuff from the U.S., the U.K., and, of course, Europe.

The other storefront is full of cool jazz, soul, reggae, afrobeat, and funk records from all over the globe.

All of that in just one corner of the store.

I was lucky to walk out of this place with only a few electro CDs (Portishead, St. Germain) and not spend all the euros in my pocket here.

Make sure to not have any pending appointments if you go there. You’ll be digging through bins for an hour at least.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
