Review: Every collector should have this. - Really good book if you are travelling round the world. Tells you what shop called and how long it's been there. And tells what Genre they sell. Very good knowledge of some of the world's records shops. Just a shame that my local one Tiny Pug Records is not in maybe the Author could visit if he comes to my town Review: Indispensable guide to record stores all over the world - In Around The World in 80 Record Stores, Marcus Barnes provides a vibrant reference for the well-traveled record-collector, with insight into vinyl emporiums from Reykjavik to Rio and New Orleans to Nairobi. Delving into the history and influence of these hubs for local music scenes, his descriptions give a great feel for each place and in doing so present the key elements of any record store worth its salt: knowledgeable but unpretentious staff, a well-curated selection and a welcoming vibe that allows you to get lost in your search for the next addition to your collection. As well as the biggest & best-known stores (HMV Oxford St, London; Amoeba Records, LA), Barnes also features quirky shops like dusty underground diggers delight The Thing in New York and heavy metal spot Crypt of the Wizard. I recently visited Amsterdam and hit both shops in the guide, Red Light Records and Rush Hour. It was great to be primed with destinations to connect with music on my travels and I can't wait to visit somewhere new knowing I can tune into the local music scene and pick up some great records. And that's exactly what this book is about, feeding your wanderlust and love of music in equal measure. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 686,775 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7,271 in Music (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 152 Reviews | ## Images ![Around the World in 80 Record Stores: A guide to the best vinyl emporiums on the planet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81p4FmlNfvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every collector should have this. *by S***E on 31 October 2025* Really good book if you are travelling round the world.
