Record Shops
Plate M-36 · 152 stores · 1–150 of 152 · curated ORBIS register
Concerto spreads new and used records across five canal houses on Amsterdam's Utrechtsestraat, with dedicated jazz rooms. Listening booths form part of that record-shop setting, which has served Amsterdam's music buyers since 1955. Athens' Birdman Record Store brings vinyl browsing together with DJ listening, also offering collectors' releases and art books on Skoufou.
What makes great record shops?
This plate lists 152 shops in 40 countries. Glasgow has the most with 5, followed by Seoul with 5. Among these shops, 7 sell online, going by their own descriptions.
Ask to play the record: with used vinyl, listen before buying rather than judging the grade by eye.
Ask which pressing it is: ask for the label and the year of the pressing, which the sleeve alone may not show.
Ask how it travels: ask for a mailer or a stiff bag to protect records in your luggage.
