So let’s kick this party started with the store I like the
most in lively, yet not-really-touristy, Frankfurt: No.2 in Sachsenhausen!
I was pleasantly surprised when I first visited FFM about 5
years ago and I happened to stuble upon this shop while I was looking for other
stores in the area.
Their selection of classic rock and pop from the ‘60s, ‘70s
and ‘80s is impeccable, well organized and decently priced. So if you’re in the
area and looking for that elusive LP stop here before blowing some of that hard
earned cash on some sub-par new reissue. This is heaven if you need to fill
holes in your collection.
All records I bought from them were in outstanding
conditions, readily playable and I even got little discounts on bigger
purchases.
They also carry an extensive selection of used cd’s, box
sets, music and movies dvd’s, some bric-à-brac and vintage items.
Never been there for one but it seems they also do in-store
shows from time to time.
The name's No.2 but they're No.1 shop in Hesse in my book!
Now on with the ratings!
Selection: 4.5/5
(You get everything rock, wave, psych, metal, punk, electronica, rap and all
things in between);
Prices: 4/5;
Organization:
4/5;
Personalized store
bag: 0/5 (Plain white bag but they do have some cute flyers);

middle of the hip neighborhood of Frankfurt, Sachsenhausen, close to the scenic

Map:
More record shops in
the area: 5/5 (Yep, plenty of choices! Within walking distances you get
Sickwreckords (review will follow), In-Between and Canpire for your urban guerilla needs. You also
have the option of sampling some records at that big street market that they
set up in along the river every other Saturday morning.
There's also a bunch of different eateries and pubs in the area.)
Internet handles that
