I *might* have been there, and if I *was* there I saw tons of Africa
Bambaata & friends. No space rock.
I've visited about 15 stores, and saw 3 Hawkwind LP's - Xenon Codex, Acid
Daze 2 & 3 - so the vinyl scene of Paris was a disappointment. Stores that
looked promising was either closed, or had vinyl area inaccessible due to
reconstruction. And it rained all weekend.

yes, as usual the megastores has plenty of everything - when talking CD's.
I bought the new Anthology thing, and a missing incarnation of the "In the
Beginning/Masters of the Universe" ripoff. Actually it's entitled "ItB" on
the front cover and in the foldout, but "MotU" on all the other places,
including cd.
Weekend quiz: So what is the title of this item?

yes, I surely would act like an octopussy - and if I there was another copy,
I know which list I would ask first for trading their spare Yuri Gagarins... ;0)
but no, I saw no 7" at all.
