Decatur CD: What A Record Store Should Be

For years I somehow missed @DecaturCD. I thought of it as an indie rock store, and I wasn’t wrong, but I was wrong. They have a great selection of indie rock, but that’s only the beginning. Add to that the best selection of jazz discs in Atlanta, and decent sections for soul, blues, Louisiana music, folk and reggae. Then imagine a decent selection of vinyl. Fans of the super-cool reissue label Numero will be pleased to find a complete stock of Numero releases in a special section in the store. Of course if you don’t live in Atlanta or get there frequently, you may feel disappointed, but don’t, because Decatur CD cheerfully accepts orders over the phone, and ships anywhere in the world. This is truthfully one of the best record stores in the South, if not the whole country.

Across the parking lot from our event were the ruins of a night club called Murphy’s 2, which had been the premier reggae club in Dallas before a sudden fire erupted in May on a night when 200 people were inside. Remarkably, everyone made it out alive, but the fire quickly demolished the structure.
