Looking for brick-and-mortar stores

[Eternas Ondas Musicales]

Do any of you know of a record store—whether in Spain, elsewhere in Europe, or anywhere else in the world—that sells library music? I don't mind flying to the other side of the globe if necessary, thanks in advance. I believe there is a shop in Madrid that specializes in this, but I'm not entirely sure.

If you're referring to CDs rather than vinyl,

then I recommend Beijing, China.

Which store in Madrid is this?

I've never seen an entirely-library record store (what a dream!), but many stores I've visited have small library sections. I had a lovely visit to a store in Amsterdam a few years ago after finding out they stocked library. The name escapes me at the moment, Platypus(?)

That's not a bad idea at all, that way, I could see the world. And explore music from a different perspective, in other formats.

I was going to mention Discos La Metralleta, a buy-and-sell record store located in a parking garage right in the heart of Madrid. But the reviews have made me a bit wary. I mean, how could the sellers themselves think of selling a record like "Tough Guy" for 15 quid? I also think I saw Discos Paradiso, which is in Barcelona.

It used to exist in Valencia. It was called "La Ragazza del Piper", but it closed—the reason is unknown. About two years ago, I spoke to the owner, and she told me she had closed the shop for personal reasons, though there were still some websites claiming it was open.

I'll take a look at it, and I'd also like to know how to learn to crate dig. Will there be an area with boxes full of records?
