This and the following post are from Empty Sleeve’s first guest contributor: Mr Gordy Zola, who generously documented some of his recent European vacation for the site. Gordy hails from Melbourne and is a record collector and damn fine DJ. Clearly he’s no slouch with a camera either as these pictures attest. Over to him.

Real nice store, a great range of stock and all of great quality. Too much good stuff to go through with the company of a friend (appreciator but not a digger) so I came back the next day to put in some time and it was a pleasure!

Prices are nice and there is a spot to listen (rare in Europe!) Helpful and friendly store owner. Highly recommended.

PS: Down the street is a techno record store if you sway that way and also a WWII monument of epic proportions which you can’t miss.
