Heartbeat was one of only a couple stores in Paris where I was able to find records I was looking…read morefor. And given that Heartbeat is more on the small side, that really says something about their selection! Flipping through the bins, you'll definitely spot a lot of records that are surprising to see. They had some cool factory records that you don't always expect to come across. Similarly, their new arrivals section was peppered with a bunch of titles that were of interest (or would have been, if I didn't own them already.) This was where I picked up a copy of a Josef K record. On the side of the store, what looks like it could be an employees only type area, there is a large fixture with records spine out. There are genres here, but I would definitely recommend leveraging the knowledge of the staff on what areas might suit you the best. And finally, pricing was about average compared to other stores I visited in Paris, which is to say fair for what it was. Cheers!

The CD lives!…read more Record stores with this much charm are rare. This shop is a heaven for music lovers and throwback officianados. Walls and walls of CDs and records surround you in visual organized cacophonic bliss. Also has a lovely book collection with a sweet owner who sits peacefully at the front if the shop to greet you and is not a pushy salesperson at all. Enjoy! It's a rare piece of charm and history.
