ANOTHER TRIP TO ZAPPANALE - PART 2

Another trip to Zappanale - Part 2

With a bit of delay.
(reference: Roland JC-40 Jazz Chorus guitar amp: delay setting “6”.)

We checked the U-Bahn. Much to our satisfaction.
Our first stop brought us to the Rathaus, from where we walked to Michelle Records (Gertrudenkirchhof 10, 20095 Hamburg).
He Who Knows, told us that it one of the oldest record stores in Hamburg and that they also have in-store concerts from time to time. It’s a cool shop and they focus a lot on local artists and their releases. 

Nice. Very nice. They also had a vinyl copy of the latest Zappa/Mothers album on the shelves. I hadn’t seen it yet. My copy probably arrived when we started our Zappanale trip. At least, that’s what I hope.

Recommended by Lex (thank you !), we also went to Slam Records (Schulterblatt 104, 20357 Hamburg). A bit in the middle of nowhere (and that was a pity as visiting record stores is a fine way to get a view of a city), BUT another excellent record store (with a fair amount of Zappa albums, if you consider that a reference).
I do remember visiting this shop in the past, but it had been quite a while. It was nice to be back.
The man behind the counter had Prince on the turntable, and, as if it was meant to be, I found a copy of “The Beautiful Experience”, a 7-track CD EP.
The only record that I bought in Hamburg…

An excellent afternoon, and the best was yet to come.
