As we all know, sometimes there is that one record store that you can count on for holding on to a rare CURE record that you been looking for. Whether you go to one of those record stores listed as "one that must be visited before you die", or you find an off the wall store that may bring joy into your life. Whatever the case may be, this thread is to show off your pictures of those records stores that you have personally visited. Take a picture and share it with us.

Here is a sample of the last record store that I visited. Amoeba in Hollywood, California.

This a small sample.

On the stairs from the parking lot.

Take a look at the video tour.

I been there 3 times now. I joke around with my friends about the place and often tell them that I need to bring a sleeping bag just so I have enough time to go through all their material. They get new material daily and often the place is packed with so many people that they have 7 cashiers so not to wait in line too long.

It is said that if you wonder off unaccompanied you may get lost in the maze of music!! J/K!

Oh yes, right. The owner is really cool, by the way. A very funny guy who likes lounging outside in front of his shop in a sunbed in summer enjoying a cold beer. Coolest shop owner ever!

Here in Madrid sadly all good record stores have slowly disappeared in favour of clothes stores and such...

There are a few new ones. Radio city is a small but nice one. They just have a facebook page, though.

Apologies for my rudimentary English.

I'm quite lucky, there are five record stores all within half hour of use. Head and Rise save vinyl for me without me asking, they email saying what they've saved - if I want it fine, if not they put it on general sale.
The other three are the traditional second hand record stores.

That must be nice to have the store hold stuff that you want. 2 of the 7 legit record stores that are around here know to hold any cure records for me so I have firsts dibs. I'm working over the owner of M-Theory but he keeps telling me that it's to hard to hold on to 1 of the top 5 records that fly off the shelf's. Too many cure fans here I take it!!

I have none whatsoever.
I have to drive to Budapest to find a record store.
But I don't like the big stores.
I always loved the tiny ones with independent releases & a load of curious looking limited editions on the shelf behind the counter.
Those are the ones where you tend to find treasure
