I have been an avid record collector since I was very young, and I often judge cities throughout…read morethe world based on their record stores. Madrid has to be one of the best cities for record stores that I have ever been to in Europe, and Bangla Desh is the best record store in the city in my opinion! It is a paradise for Rock on vinyl and has used titles that are very difficult if not impossible to find in the US, including vinyl from the late 80s and 90s. After spending only a couple of hours in the store, I was able to cross some of the rarest albums off of my wish-list. Eric Clapton, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Chris Isaak, Phil Collins, Tears for Fears and Lenny Kravitz were among the artists whose rare vinyl I walked away with. The selection at Bangla Desh is not the largest, but it is quite impressive, especially if you are used to seeing the same things over and over at American record stores like I am. They even have a bunch of used newer albums on vinyl, some of which may also be out of print and rare. The only thing I would say to look out for are bootleg or unofficial pressings of records which are pretty common in Europe. I found what seemed to be an original vinyl copy of Nirvana's "In Utero" pressed in Holland, but the artwork looked a bit odd. After looking it up, I discovered it was in fact an unofficial pressing. Regardless, of the many record stores I visited in Madrid, Bangla Desh definitely stands out!

Upon walking in you'll find a wide selection of vinyl and CD's, as well as books and other music related items...something to appeal to every musical taste. A friendly vibe and lots to browse means I could easily lose lots of time in a store like this. Unfortunately on the day of my visit, we had a lot of distance to cover, so couldn't stay as long as I would've liked. There were plenty of unique things to see though, and be sure to visit the downstairs for even more. If you're like me and a big fan of "record stores", you'll love this place. Just give yourself some time to browse, and be sure to bring some extra cash to spend.
