THE ULTIMATE LIST OF RECORD STORES - WORLDWIDE.

[dj seizure]

This hasn't been done before and I created an ultimate list of music blogs and it wasn't that bad in the end! This one I am going to try and put everything into regions which is will be fine for England, but when I start going abroad I'll have no idea, so that is why I will need YOUR help. Just state the store, their website, the country and the region in respect to North, Middle, East, South, West. So now whether we are travelling or moving home, we will know where our local record store may lay!

Also, please only state stores that would be stocking new Dance music. There are obviously hundred and hundred of Rock second hand stores, but if we start linking every single store ever, then it would not be an appropriate list.

Some stores are also mainly online stores, if so, I'll just pop them into any old region section.

Got a link to your blog list post mate?

Also, out of interest, what makes Punch Drunk "middle" and not "south"? Thought Chemical and Punch Drunk were both in Bristol?

also there's banquet records in kingston and IMO is in wimbledon

didn't even know about it, but I googled it and it seems to have a store in Rotterdam.

also there's Concerto in Amsterdam, they have some of the more known dubstep (Burial, Skream etc) as well as a lot of cool stuff in other genres - http://concerto.nl

Thought it was in Amsterdam Must've been confusing it with Rush Hour! Got a few pieces from there before though, good selection!

Regular small scale shops but ideal for finding those obscure hidden gems. http://www.k-records.be doubt you'll ever pass through that little town, but he's got some stuff worth looking at.
By the way, not sure all of those are still open now. I made that list a while ago.

Giraffe Records (Louvain)
Wally's Grooveworld (Antwerp) are the ones I frequent.
