I thought the store was really well organized between new and used as well as genres. Everything was easy to navigate and I enjoyed taking my time to look for something that I might not be able to find in my own local record store. They have music DVDs that I've never seen before so that was fun to look through and so many vinyl records. Really you could spend hours here looking around, but I didn't have the time. If I can, I'll get back there most definitely. The prices were really reasonable too, which makes shopping there even better because you're getting a good deal too.

This place is jammed full of vinyls at a decent price. I feel like you could spend an entire day combing through the racks. The gentleman that works here was really nice and of course offered help along the way. Fortunately, I tend to know what I'm looking for or hopefully stumble upon something I didn't know I needed until I find it. They've got a wide variety of genres and I think there really is something for everyone here. If you're a music lover, it's definitely a great place to spend some time and definitely spend some money, but if you're traveling make sure you make room in your luggage for your finds.

They have a wide range of stock so you will probably find what you're looking for, here! The man who's managing the place is very nice and he also helped me out to discover more record shops by handing me a map and marking the shops on the map. Great finds, great music, great atmosphere inside... A denifitely-need-to-visit place in Amsterdam! :)
My husband was on the hunt for interesting vinyl during our trip to Europe and he had made a list…read moreof independent record stores he wanted to visit in each country. This one was high on his list. We wandered over to try to find it right at sunset, so we got the added benefit of seeing the Red Light District come alive for the evening. We were super confused upon arriving at the stated address because there was no record shop there - just a place called Red Light Radio Studio. He was terribly disappointed and said maybe they closed or something. Later in our visit, we were back over in the same area and I noted that there was an alley next to the radio station (the alley helpfully had "No sex" written across the top of it, lol). I wondered out loud if the record store was down the alley and indeed it was. He was delighted. The actual store is pretty tiny but has a really interesting and good selection. It's definitely worth checking out if you like to dig through bins. He bought a few things and was very pleased.

Fame Megastore caught my attention as it seemed to be the Dutch version of Best Buy but with vinyls and I was sort of right. Fame Megastore is in the basement level of the electronics market (I don't remember the official name), but it's across the street from the Sea Palace. The Megastore has DVDs, CDs, and vinyl records along with other random items like cups and t shirts as well. I was impressed with the selection of items. All the items were new, this was not going to be a rummage sale of any kind which I honestly did appreciate. I was able to score some deals there which I was happy about, but the customer service was kind of lacking. Two associates worked that area and neither spoke to me. They spoke to each other, but not me. When paying you take your items to the main level and check out there. You're not going to find any hidden gems there. You might if you're American, but I'm glad I stopped by to check it out. For sure there are other vinyl shops in Amsterdam with amazing selections to check out first.
