I'll have more to say about the place -- which is called Contempo Records and has been doing this kinda bizness since 1977(!) -- on a later occasion, but let's just say that they treated two idiot Americans like royalty, and I can't tell you what a kick it was to hear the Floor Models blasting over a Florentine sound system.
Oh, and BTW, it's my birthday today, so if you wanna say something nice, I wouldn't mind.

Buon compleanno e tanti altri, Stefano!
Happy Birthday Pal! Can't think of a place I'd rather be than a record store in Italy! (Hey, that rhymes!)
Happy Bday oh perfect master of the Rock & Roll Universe. (and Weasel, Floor Model, Hound, and man who wrote about the above stated R & R Universe for over fifty years and hasn't totally lost his mind, I think!)
Wendy you are a strong woman to keep the Birthday Boy in your heart!

Happy Birthday. And I visited that record store in 1984!
Autumn in Italia! On your birthday! Life can't get much sweeter.
Wow — that is very cool. And evidence of a very small world.😎

Happy birthday Steverino.
Strangely enough, the guy on the left looks like Bruce Springsteen did in 1977. Have a great birthday, Steve :-)
Speaking of vinyl, a double 12" surprise waiting for you upon your return. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Steve. Having had some of the best meals of my life in Italy, I also had one of the worst- at the Uffizi cafe! Ciao down, chowhounds.
Happy birthday Mr. Simels. Interesting bin of "Radio Broadcasts" they have there.
Happy Birthday Steve! (The magazine formerly known as) Stereo Review may have just shut down, but you continue to thrive!
Chanteuse Lucinda and I were there O5
