Granted, I don't think Gramaphone is all that great, but on a visit there
this weekend, I was surprised to find they had almost every record in the
Fat Cat catalogue, the new City Centre Offices 7", Ladomat stuff, some Lucky
Kitchen CDs, the new Cylob single, Jega/808State split 7", all the Warp
Peelies, the new Metamatics District 6 12", the new Black Dog 12", and a
stack of Bola "Soup" CDs.

Mike.

Skam, Clear, Rephlex,....At Gramamphone  *LAFF*    They buy two of them
and put them in the bins...   the only good shit ive foudn there was some
of the Demon releases by Franeck...     plus the store clerks are morons
("d00d...check out this killer release by bangaltar man")     they do have
a nice cut out section (scored some spymania stuff in it). as for thrill
jockey stuff..who in chicago/midwest us doesnt have it?
