Looking for good record / vinyl shops that carry Jazz rarities.
I am also willing to pay the price if they have nice stuff.
Any recommendations?

[MikeN]

Don't have an answer for you, but when are you here?

[TheNotoriousT]

Not 100% sure. Hopefully mid october.

Looking for a leather cleaner in New York. Any recommendations?

[Sombre]

Superior Leather? Who? recommended them some time ago, and they have good reviews. The turn-around time is long though. 3 weeks just to clean a jacket.

[Faust]

Thanks.

[bonejelly]

Yes. What day are you going?

Likely the Saturday? Coming down from Canada, and haven't planned my schedule out too thoroughly. Faust, was SZ Magazine meant to be an exhibitor?

We toyed with the idea, but decided to check it out first.
