Record shops/events in ROME

[Jugz]

Morning all. I'll be in Rome for a week and would like to come back with some choice souvenirs of the plastic variety if possible.

Any record shop recommendations (reggae or otherwise)? Any good event's/nights to check out? (I'll be there from Saturday onwards)?

Grazie tante!

just a couple of street away. Sometimes, you can find some nice used items, plus LPs/cds/singles most 10/12" that 7", not a big choice but sometimes I've catch some little gems there. Anyway, not properly a "reggae-shop"...

As you are comin from the UK I suppose, you definitely dont need to pass trough us and our little distro (not well updated right now) and is much more easier for you to cross the road and find fresh uk vynils. We work mostly for the local massive

Unfortunately Fouronethree no sessions planned for that period for us, here after summer things starts moving in the second half of september. If you are into bashment, OneLove is opening on thursday the 14 their season in the place Olli was mentioning and this is the one and only event for that 5 days:

TOP A TOP REGGAE CLUB
BRANCALEONE
Via levanna 11
Roma

and yes ephteeay: english is definitely not the second language for italians, but you can be lucky sometimes...

Bless to all the boardies

There`s also a pub called dread lion, in via dello scalo di s.lorenzo, nice music and walls covered with crucial lp sleeves. open all night since 7:00 pm

Another record shop is RADIATION, located in Pigneto near the Jahman Record Shop, got mainly punk, but got also a good choice of roots reggae lp from labels like greensleeves, jamaican recordings, vp and others label. few 12" / 10" / 7" selection.

On sunday morning you can have a walk at Porta Portese Market located near Piramide Station, where sometimes you can find rare reggae records and electronic componentes for good price, beware of thief.

Disfunzioni Musicali is no longer with us anymore since 4 or 5 years, One Love from 2 years. Also the Brancaleone is not a roots reggae venue since a decade, just something but commercial thing. On

If you need help for other, just pm and I will try to help you someway.

to JUGZ:

jahman record is on via del pigneto 116 (not 196) and record shop where got the space in is called BLUTOPIA.



No, non seguo personalmente il negozio, sicuramente è da supportare l'iniziativa, chi la gestisce è king doble, lo puoi contattare attraverso i canali noti.
