might be virgin megastore in Champs Elysees. most of the FNAC stores also have good cd stocks. Crocodisc is allright but more interesting for LPs.

You can find some nice vintage LPs (and sometimes 12") of Reggae at Groove Store.
There, I bought some classics (Toots, Burning Spear, Justin Hinds, etc.), original pressing, in nice shape.

Groove Store
29 rue des dames 75017 Paris

Good shops for new stuff but for og's, it's not that easy, not impossible neither :).
By the way, Benjamin has mentionned Crocodisc in a positive way. I personnaly think the seller is a crook and that's the reason why they have so much records, because they sell at very high prices so they don't sell a lot. I really hate that shop, I've never bought anything from them, each time I went there, I had the feeling to be taken for a fool.

Yes you're right the seller of crocodisc is quite upsetting still he knows a lot about reggae music, but each time I go there he 's trying to sell some great things but at a very high price so I don't listen to him and I choose my vinyls in the boxes and I always found classic but original LPs at normal price ,more or less 15€
