This post is thanks to Mark N, aka the only crate digger I know serious enough to find an oldskool tune hiding in a local Boston record shop I’ve been going to for years and years but had never found. He mentioned to me a while back that he likes occasionally tracking down the original locations of record labels/record stores from BITD on google maps, especially ones he visited (eg Parliament Records)… here’s a a set of them which he sent me. Click the square with arrows in the top right of each to make any one full screen and have a look around. If any of you visited these locations and know the angles are wrong, let me know or send me an updated google map link.
Also, let me know if all this javascript screws up anyone’s browser, I might have to move this to a separate page if that’s the case.
