So, how's shopping for vinyl in Singapore ?

No flippers or hipsters allowed for this shop:

I met Giri back in January on a business trip to Singapore. He was a very nice guy. I went to browse, but in the end spent about an hour talking about music. I didn't get to look at much. I ended up getting a nice clean Singapore pressing of "Band On The Run" for a good price.

He did mention a frustration that he had with other sellers and jacking up the prices. We also agreed that the mastering on many Japanese pressing is not all that great. He likes to talk with music fans and collectors, not too impressed with flippers. We talked abut the weather, New York, Goldmine and a bunch of other stuff too.

He is also aware of this forum.

 

...and the hotel I was staying at was right across the street. There are quite a few sellers in the area, but all of the ones I checked out had high prices. There was one or two others that were recommended by a forum member, but I couldn't check out.

 

Tempting! It's only half an hour from the airport. Might have to make a stop over there sometime.

 

I stopped at For the Record. High prices, about $38/LP. Everything seemed to be priced the same. Some rare stuff, if you gotta have it.

I'd recommend Roxy. Not as many LPs, more CDs. More current New LPs. Small shop with more odds and ends.
