Record Store Berlin

Record Store Berlin: Vinyl from Shellac to Reissues

Those searching for records in Berlin will sooner or later end up in the city center – and inevitably at Record Store Berlin. The concept is straightforward: records, records, and more records. However, behind it lies a consistency not found everywhere. Collectors’ hearts beat faster here, as fans will find old shellac records from the thirties, original pressings, second-hand records, reissues, and signed rarities that are unavailable anywhere else in Berlin. This is not a promise, but a lived reality.

Particularly noteworthy is where some of the inventory comes from. Many records are regularly sourced from America, including rarities that simply cannot be found elsewhere. So, if you’ve been looking for a specific original recording for a long time, this is where you should start. Musically, the focus is on Rock’n’Roll, Blues, Folk, Soul, Rock, Pop, and Jazz – with a clear emphasis on the sixties.

More Than a Store: An Institution in Berlin-Mitte

What distinguishes Record Store Berlin from many other record stores in the city is its grown community. The owners have been running the shop for over 15 years and have built up a loyal customer base – not only among Berliners but also among vinyl fans worldwide. Once you’ve been here, you’ll come back. This is also because Record Store Berlin, as a specialist in vinyl, original pressings, and rarities from the sixties to today, offers a continuity that has become rare in Berlin’s fast-paced cultural landscape.

Thus, a visit here is not a quick shopping trip, but rather a journey of discovery. If you bring time and know what you’re looking for – or even if you don’t – you’ll find one of the most authentic record stores in Berlin-Mitte.
