Re: mo'bay record shops
You wont find many Wackies there. Wackies is a totally unknown label in Jamaica
i dont know if they still operational but there was:
El Paso, in one of the malls, mainly new stuff, but some orginal records as well
Jamrock - a stall on the crafts market, mainly souveinrs and rasta art, but might find a original upsetter or two there
More Vibes, downtown, upstairs,also new and old stuf

Re: mo'bay record shops
weell, the holy grale dried up in the last decade. There arrent many shops around no more
But most chance to find some interestign stuff will be in Kinston.
for originals and collectors items( but be willing to pay ebay prices)go to Cap Calcini.
Earl Hayles (big ebay seller) set up a new shop in one of the malls, i haven been, but you're bound to find some great stuff there, probably international priced.
check Studio One (only open on thursdays)still a couple of orginal 45s or lp's can be found in that warehouse
and for sentimentalr reasons (becuase they stock mainly reissue and cd's) go to Rockers, Techniques, Derrick's One Stop, Sonic Sounds, Dynamic & Tuff Gong..
with luck you might find something there.

Re: mo'bay record shops
mobay shops are a waste.
go to kingston and
check rockers intl. record shop.
on mobay shopping trips, all they
do is hound you for money.
in kingston, dread no trouble you.
i liked smoking in jammys yard.(bwoyyy)

Re: mo'bay record shops
My suggestion, go to New York or London.
Cap Calcini has some very rare stuff, but expect to pay hundreds of US dollars per record...
