Conveniently located next to a bus stop in downtown Edinburgh, Scotland, Fopp is a chain of record stores around the UK, and this one had a lot of cool stuff in it – half of which I didn’t get to see because I got there about 20 minutes before they closed.
So, yes, first off – books, T-shirts, DVDs, and new music as soon as you walk in the door.
Vinyl? Of course there’s vinyl, as well as turntables and speakers.
There’s a wing of CDs as well, where I was tempted to grab about half a dozen things, but vinyl is king here.
I did find a great CD score, however, settling for just one purchase since they were in the process of closing by the time I was sorting through many shelves of discs.
I’d been looking for stuff from The Limiñanas for a while, and here was a two-disc collection with 35 tracks. It was like finding a golden ticket in a Wonka bar.
There was an entire bottom floor full of DVDs and books that I didn’t get to see because of the short time I had there, but I’d happily go back. Don’t skip this place if you’re in Edinburgh.
Keep your mind open.
