We Need To Talk About Lucky Records!

[lovetriedtowelcomeme 21]

I'm back everyone! 

 

One thing that I really want to address is the fact that the Parisian record shop Lucky Records exists! I'm not sure if all of you guys know about it, but it is absolute heaven for Madonna fans. Just so you have an idea of what you see there, here's a few photos.

 

 

The address is 66 Rue De La Verriere, Paris, and for non-French fans, (like myself), a reasonable amount of their products are available for purchase on their website. Ok, now that I've brought Lucky Records into the conversation, I would like to 'promote' my collecting blog. I recently started a blog on Blogger to chronicle my collecting stories, and since my mother went to Lucky Records for me on her travels and bought a few things, I posted about it on my blog. The link to the post is http://confessionsofamadonnacollector.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/lucky-records-purchases-october-2015.html, and the link to the main blog is http://confessionsofamadonnacollector.blogspot.com.au. I would absolutely love it if you could read about my collecting, and to +1, Tweet, or Facebook like my posts. The reason I'm posting about it here is because I want to gain attention to my blog by sharing it with people with interests relating to the blog. I would also like to get my blog popular at an early stage, so that I am writing material for an audience other than myself.

 

The items my mother bought for me were:

 

Holiday (CD Single) (1983/1994)

Superstar (CD Single) (2012)

Rebel Heart Tour Poster (2015)

Rebel Heart Badge (2015)

 

If you would like to know more about what I got, please be kind enough to visit my blog.   Also, tell me what you think of Lucky Records in response to this thread. Had you previously heard of it? Have you shopped from Lucky Records? Give me the deets. 

 

Ciao!

Well, I just love this shop and want to buy something but I don't know what because there's so many items and I want to buy everything ;P

I was there in 2012 when I visited Paris for the MDNA tour stop (great show and one of the nipple slip dates!).As a collector for over 25 years I have to say I was totally overwhelmed by the range and rarity of items on offer. The prices are definitely reflective of that and eBay can work out a lot cheaper. There is also something of the thrill in the chase for me of tracking down and waiting for a piece to appear at a price I can afford and grab a bargain. A shop like this bringing all that together loses a little of the satisfaction of finding that one thing you just have to have! But maybe for beginners who want to establish a volume of rarities quickly for top prices this place works. For me I like the chase but was just in awe in Lucky getting to see all those things I still want to collect, almost Like going to a Madonna museum. On my visit I didn't buy a single thing: why? There was no thrill in it...

I was there in 1996 and I had the chance to listen to the whole Evita soundtrack on acetate before it was released.

Lucky you! Since I'm only a recent fan, I've never had such great opportunities.

I was there in the summer. They had a lot of great stuff there, but I was a little put off by some of the bootleg items that they are selling (at ridiculously high prices) claiming that they are official pressings.

I've had a look at their stuff & you are right, prices are ridiculous & a lot of stuff is not official as claimed.That being said, they do have some cool 'real' stuff.
