This ever growing list of record shops is mainly meant as a help for my visitors to find records that are mentioned in my discographies and lists. Many of them also sell videos/DVDs. I do not attempt to list every shop in the world (of course!), but I concentrate on the bigger CD shops and specialists in electronic/synth records. If you find a broken link, or if any shop treats you badly, please let me know. Happy hunting!
