Great record shops in foreign cities (1 Viewer)

[Lillian]

It's the first thing I look for when I'm anywhere new and I get excited when I come across them. Was going to post it in the travel thread but this should defy sub forums.

Most recently I was in Lisbon and came across one of my favourite record shops ever, had almost everything I've ever wanted. It didn't seem to have a name but its right beside Lux Fragil across from Station Apolonia.

In Reykjavik, 12 tonar was excellent.

Pet Sounds in Stockholm.

Avalanche in Edinburgh and the one at the end of cockburn Street, mainly cockburn street in Edinburgh.

Thats all that comes to mind right this second.

I always walk out of Avalanche with a bunch of deadly 2nd hand CD's, deadly wee shop. Fopp was awesome for buying £5 cds you'd never actually think to listen to.

Other Music in New York is great for skronky nonsense.

Amoeba in San Francisco nearly bankrupted me, what with things like Circus Lupus for $2

Reckless Records in Chicago can be deadly too.

in boston twisted village is excellent, if not a little off the wall.
and for a chain ,newbury comics (the one on newbury street) is brilliant.

Have ordered plenty second stuff online from Newbury comics. Monkees etc.

London
- Intoxica (for 60s beat, soul, psych, jazz and soundtracks)
- Sister Ray,
- MVEs are good sometimes.

Change of name to Sister Ray a while back.

If I remember correctly, what happened was Selectadisc closed and Sister Ray moved a few doors down into the premises.

Mondo Kim's in nyc, for the moment anyway...

Open Mind Music in San Francisco is a sweet vinyl only shop with everything in it and a high turnover. Apparently its moved from Divisadero to Market/Castro though. Anyone been to the new one/know if its an improvement or not?
