Do You Know Any Shops That Sell Old Records In Ban

[pluto_manibo]

Would anyone know any good record shops with old Thai edition ROck and roll records..like The Who, The Stones, Led Zep, Cream etc.....Any help would be much appreciated...

On Vinyl try Chatuchak in the far bottom eastern corner in the antiques part.

Most 'Thai Editions' were imports anyway.

Go to the new BIG C building opposite the old World Trade Centre, up around the 4th, 5th floors are all the new hifi shops. There is a shop called Audio Design Centre, they used to be in Ploenchitt centre and had stacks of old records. Problem with used records in Thailand is the humidity ruins them, all the ones I saw had mold growing on them. You need a very good automatic cleaner like a Nitty Gritty to get anything resembling reasonable sound.

Singapore would be a better bet, higher quality old records at places like Adelphi Plaza and Roxy Plaza out in the suburbs. Prices not bad. Malaysia also has quite alot of vinyl around, but you need to know where to go as the hi-end shops in KL are spread out around a few different areas and shopping centres.

Try Fortune on Ratchada - loads of old vinyl on sale there. 2nd or 3rd floor I think...

2nd floor, you need to walk away from the computer shops along the main corridor towards the hotel end, IE Petchaburi Road end. The guys in there are pretty expensive though, sort of the wank area of audio in bangkok

Thanks guys, great help, I am really looking for classic rock records from the 60's and 70's..are there any other stores or specialised outlets?... old vynils, there must be some more?

i'd be very surprised if you could locate any decent collectors items in BKK ,

a .because they sold in small quantities ,and b. because they are so careless with CDs nowadays that any vynal from then would be totally useless. in the record collector mag i have never seen a thai pressing feature in an article on collectors items .

I guess Singapore would be a wiser choice....I am especially looking for a Who 7 inch EP and any Led Zeppelin.... ...Half the fun is the quest I guess....

4th floor World Trade centre 'Plaza' area, where the back escalators are is a small store with some QUALITY vinyl, both retro, rock and house...

Jeez DJ pat, you've really let yourself go of late, judging by your pic.
