Digging abroad and the record fairs

Apologies if this has come up before, I can refresh this topic. Been offered to tag along to these giant fairs. Looking for super sound singles and strange european stuff I can’t get here, really need to be at the bottom feeder level as always. Do the europeans have boot sales, got to be productive to make it worth the trip.

I’ve been to USA twice but was denied the chance to go digging (and I could sense there was gold in the air). This will be my first euro trip.

Experiences welcome

Boot sales = flea markets, in most of Europe anyway. They can be really hit and miss when it comes to records. Went to a couple of flea markets in Paris not long back that had some great bits though.

Are you staying in the Netherlands or planning on venturing into other countries?

If the Instagram account frenchdigging is anything to go by there’s still plenty of gold to be found in French flea markets

Staying overnight there, so two days in the Netherlands. At least that was the intial plan, I think these fairs are pretty well known in the record dealer world but I’m not convinced they will have the under the radar TP friendly sounds at cheap prices. I’m a bit confused to which fair is the ‘big one’ from this group.

Naturally a super extended tour of europe to fill the van would be the dream. Diversion ideas welcome.

Your’re making the craving worse!

Sounds a test pressing go abroad trip we all need. Whose organizing? I work for a travel education company with a cycling team so I could do it.
