Tell about your favorite records store!
Should we visit your town only because of this particular records store?

Probably because the store is enormous and has an incredible selection. Well, that's why I like going there.

My favorite records stores were 25 / 30 years ago. Nowadays, it is mostly thrift shops, yard sales and flea markets for some full fledge crate digging. I can't stand going to a hipster used records shop. Not for me.

My favorite record stores are those with the spare parts boxes. There is always a little or bigger curiosity to find there. In Germany the magical word for every vinyl afficionado is: Grabbelkisten!
