Crocodisc, Paris

by Gordy Zola

Just up the hill from Boulinier, this place has been around since 1978! Imagine the records that have come through in that time…

Heaps and heaps of stock. A buzzing place. Music playing loud. I got the impression that there are guys in there assigned to different genres, as there were about four staff members  busy helping people in each section of the shop. Heaps of Afro and alike from the French islands. 100,000 records over the two stores but you should head straight to the one on the right. This has all the disco, funk, soul, afro, world stuff. Got some nice 7″s here too.

Next door is rock and Kraut heavy. Great selections. Crocodisc is a must visit store while you are in Paris!
