After 14 hours riding I-55, the midwest artery that drifts down the
Mighty Mississippi all the way to Louisiana, the first chunk of shiny
vinyl records have arrived at 3401 Chartres Street. New Orleans, all
this music is for you! The trek was filled with tornadoes and the kind
bus-drivers lending crucial assists when Betsy the Budget Rental Truck needed gassing up. The sight of 15,000 LP's and 45's within the four walls of Euclid Records at the corner of Chartres and Desire in the bohemian Bywater makes the hard work easy-peasy. September 1st, you'll all be able to get your eager paws on copies of John Coltrane's "Kulu Se Mama," Bootsy Collins' "Bootsy?" and that requisite Danzig "Aria II" picture disc. Euclid New Orleans' brains and hearts could not physically contain more excitement if the ghost of James Booker himself floated through the front door offering a whirlwind ride through the ghosts of Lundi Gras' past, present and future. Lots of work to do, and heaps of wonderful musical happenings lie on the other side of August, kids! Can't wait to meet you all!
