By the number of record shops, of course!\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/helsinki\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Helsinki<\/a> just happens to have a whole bunch of great shops for all music lovers and vinyl collectors. You dig?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a many friends and even family in the music business. Some of them are professional musicians, some work in small record shops, some create record covers for a living or design music festival posters etc. Whenever they feel like bonding with the like-minded, they head out to the recordshops. It\u2019s always an adventure!<\/p>\n<p>Here are my recommendations, which are all about atmosphere, passion for music and great selections:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Digelius Music<\/h4>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fuzz N\u00b4 Us teaser\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0J6cnwJXW28?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Credit: Fuzz N&#8217; Us performing at Digelius Music &#8211;\u00a0<a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6_5CTnR4b-HoqWAEv6yDvA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sigurdur Rognvaldsson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Digelius shop can be considered a legend, everyone knows it. It has served music lovers with jazz, world etc. for decades. There is always a very peaceful feeling in the shop, with no rock \u2019n\u2019 roll attitudes whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Black and White Records<\/h4>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/theguidebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.4.jpg\" alt=\"Record-shops-Helsinki\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.4-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Black and White is the one to go to, if you only have time for one. With 40\u00a0000+ sales articles of new and used vinyls and cds, covering all styles of music. B&amp;W is even starting to have a bit of an international reputation, because tourists pop in, stop at the door and say: \u201dWOW!\u201d Apparently, people keep finding stuff they have been searching for years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Specialities x 5<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/theguidebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.5.jpg\" alt=\"Helsinki-record-shops\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.5-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most of the smaller shops cater for very specific musical tastes. Hippie Shake Records is all about classic rock. Fuga, located inside Helsinki Music Hall, is for classical music. Goofin Records specializes in 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s rockabilly. Stupido Market Kallio is a continuation of their own record label, Stupido records. Tanner, a really nice new restaurant, has its own little shop for mostly electronic dance music.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Back to basics<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/theguidebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.3.jpg\" alt=\"Vinyl-shops-helsinki\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets-guidebook.isango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vinyl.3-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the special ones, there are several shops that qualify as generic, old-school record stores: Levykauppa \u00c4x is a nation wide chain with two stores in Helsinki. Keltainen j\u00e4\u00e4ns\u00e4rkij\u00e4 (translates as \u201dYellow Ice breaker\u201d, don\u2019t ask me why!) is practically located next to Tavastia, Helsinki\u2019s oldest rock club. Music Hunter also sells all kinds of (cheesy) music memorabilia. Rolling records has a store near S\u00f6rn\u00e4inen metro station.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luckily, Black and White, Hippie Shake, Stupido and \u00c4x are all practically within shouting distance from each other in Hakaniemi, which also has many bars, cafes and restaurants.
