We visited the Berlin store (see my separate review) and loved it, so naturally we had to visit the…read moreCologne store. Once again, I could easily have spent many more hours browsing; the selection is *superb* and eclectic. Also, everyone working there was incredibly helpful and quite friendly.

One of the few remaining independent, innovative CD/vinyl stores in Europe. Just a short walk from…read moreNeumarkt, but if you want interesting stuff, the chance to browse and to listen, this is a great place. Staff friendly and are interested in the music that they sell. In this time of downloading and mail order it is great to have somewhere to just go to, as well.

I was yelping around the Agnesveedel again today, and have the wonderful chance to visit this nice…read morebookstore. From outside it does not look extremely big, but they do have varieties of books that are updated. Maybe it is the equivalent for mini mayersche. The part of it being small does not limit its book qualities as they offer very updated books. And that is the exception for me, because they do not have a lot of English books and i was specifically looking for a series of Old books that even through online bookstore i can not find easily.

A shop that sells old tapes...as in cassette tapes!! Bloody fantastic if I may say so!…read more This place seems a tad chaotic at first, as it's crammed full of CDs, LPs, tapes, DVDs, some gadgets and the odd tshirt thrown into the mix. Upon closer inspection, however, you'll realise that they are pretty well sorted here. They have pretty much anything your music-loving heart could desire. I was looking for something rather specific, a particular LP, and the owner helped me find it. It wasn't available at the moment, as they were a bit low on stock due to Christmas, but he promised he'd have it there next time I'm around. Bottom line: * great for music lovers * friendly shopkeeper * massive selection * they sell actual tapes!!!
