The world would be a much quieter place without Groove Merchant Records who opened their doors on Haight St. in San Francisco 20 years ago. I definitely owe a nice chunk of my collection and music knowledge to that store, as do countless other collectors, DJs, producers, musicians and music aficionados from around the world.
To commemorate their 20th anniversary, they’ve released Groove Merchant Turns 20, an eclectic compilation of privately and micro pressed soul, jazz, folk and funk. It’s an amazing collection of tunes, curated by one of the finest ears in the record game, “Cool” Chris Veltri. This comp couldn’t come more highly recommended, and for more info on each track as well as complete sound files visit the Groove Merchant Tumblr page. Congrats to GM for runnin’ shop for 20 years and counting.
And some of my favorite tracks:
Rod Abernethy – Ron and Eddie Blues by Groove Merchant 20
Pataphysics – Nick Danger by Groove Merchant 20
Ronn Forella – Crystals by Groove Merchant 20
