Assistant Carolinal Editor
Papa Jazz Record Shoppe has ;
little something old. a little some
thing new and a little something
hlues.
The store got its start ii
Columbia in 1980, employee Mik<
Cook said. Before it became 2
record store, it was a laundromat.
"There's still some pipes in th<
ceiling," Cook said.
This history is evident in th<
decor of the store. Employe*
Bemis Chavis rings up sales ot
what Cook describes as a "194(
register," and a yellowed poste
advertises a 1984 jazz festival.
Manager Tim Smith has beet
working at the store since its firs
year. "A guy just had a bunch o
records and started (the store),'
Smith said. "It's not really a nove
concept."
This concept involves selling i
wide variety of records, from viny
albums by The Doors and Depeche
"Mode to a Melissa Manchestei
^'Greatest Hits" collection. Tht
store also buys used records. Thi?
variety and purchasing powei
enables Papa Jazz to have somt
rare finds stashed in among its jam
packed record bins.
"We stock music that you can'I
find anywhere else," assistant manager
Rick Sutton said. "People
come from all over the country
They know about us."
Sutton said he has had customers
from New York, Los Angeles and
Chicago, and Chavis throws in thai
there have also been customers

The store's extensive record co

* international commerce. "If yc
have your collectors looking f<
stuff that's hard to find, we C2
probably get it," Smith said.

including the condition of the Cai
record, tape or CD, its selling price
new, how many copies Papa Jazz
already has of it and how well he
believes it will sell.
Cook adds another criterion. "If
it's something there was a million
copies of, we shy away from it," he
said. "We try to provide stuff
nobody else has."
Cook can attest to the value of
selling stuff to the store. He
received a graduation gift of a crate
I of records, among which was a rare
I Beatles record, "A Butcher Cover,"
which he sold to Papa Jazz for
$300.
"Never throw away records,"

Papa Jazz customer Allan
I Mozinga comes to the store for its
- selection and price. "I like coming
here. You don't have to pay top
1 dollar," Mozinga said. "I mostly
- come here to find rare records."
1 Some of Papa Jazz's-selections
: include swing, bebop, avant-garde,
1 soul and blues. And then, of
5 course, there's jazz.
> "We do stock a lot of jazz,
which is kind of unusual," Smith
said, while Cook asserted that Papa
1 Jazz boasted the most complete L
i jazz collection he has ever seen,
i including stores perused in New I
York and Los Angeles. t
Sutton says Papa Jazz also r
t allows dogs in the store, and I
