Where can I find a good secondhand record store in Hong Kong?

November 8, 2009 11:17 PM

Can anyone suggest any good secondhand record (i.e. vinyl) stores in Hong Kong?

I'm in HK until this Saturday and I'd like to check out a record store or two, but I'm having trouble finding anything aside from HMV and other chains. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes!

This list is a bit out of date so I'll pick out the good ones below:

Collectibles
Address: 2/F, 11 Queen Victoria Street, Central
Tel: [phone]
Opening Hours: Monday - Sunday; 12pm - 8pm
Directions: Queen Victoria Street is a street next to the wet market where the escalator begins near Des Voeux Road.

Causeway Bay
Whitenoise Records
Address: 1/F, Canal Road East, Causeway Bay
URL: http://whitenoiserecords.org
Tel: [phone]
Description: Interesting little shop, all new CDs and vinyl but hand-selected by the owner.

There's a good one called (I think) Record Rendezvous (it has two locations) in the basement of the Starhouse Plaza (next to the bus terminal near the Star Ferry), in Tsim Sha Tsui - some nice stuff there.

There's some dusty little places around but I can't really describe how to get to them. There's a mythical warehouse full of still-shrink-wrapped records from the 80's - but I've never been able to track it down.

Thanks! Collectibles was exactly what I had in mind.
