After a recent visit to Paul’s Boutique, I have to say I had one of the worst digging experiences of my life. As soon as I walked in, the owner Paul basically yelled at me to leave my bag at the cash and that “That’s how it is everywhere in Montreal”. So I complied and started digging. I looked through the hip-hop section and the prices were absolutely ridiculous. The average price for a used single was 20$, with LP’s going anywhere from 25-50$. The place is a sardine can, cramped and plain not fun to look through. The owner seemed arrogant and unwilling to help me out when I asked about his collection of reggae singles, even though I was willing to spend big bucks. Anyways, never going back there again. So to all visitors, I would recommend heading to the record store Nice Music, a bit further up on St-Laurence street. The owner’s and employees are helpful and won’t treat you like a criminal.
