New Orleans R&B/Soul/funk collectors out there?

I have some 60s-80's NOLA funk and soul 45s. I was in NOLA a few weeks ago and bought a bunch of stuff but most of it was given away in a holiday record swap. I do have some spares of some of the Sansu Records produced by Allen Toussaint though. ATG and Tony Owens etc. Most of that stuff I end up keeping.
I've only been to NOLA twice, I don't have any big amount of NO music in my collection though, just a few common favorites. Domino Sound and Euclid were the standouts for me. I just wanted all the Meters 45s finally and they pretty much delivered. Domino had a surprisingly tough reggae selection as I recall too.

Hi Bill. I probably have most of that, but it’s still good to meet you. Did you go to Domino Sound in NOLA? Or Louisiana Music Factory? Euclid Records? I go there every a December to eat myself silly.
This last trip I went to NOLA Mix, Euclid, Louisiana Music Factory, Silver Lotus, Man Ray, and various antique shops. I normally go to Domino Sound also. We made it to NOLA twice last year. We do the same. Basically go eat good food and shop during the day.

Domino Sound has a lot of International records and 50s stuff that most of the other shops don't carry.
I went to Peaches Record a few years back also but their prices seemed to be higher. They have a huge 12" singles section in the back but it was mostly garbage and has been picked over. I have a feeling those records have been there 25 years. I bought a few things there but my best pickup was a mint Curtis Mayfield - Something To Believe In.
