One of the best in Ghent, Bob knows his prices but you ALWAYS find something good and special. A lot of collectors and check the cheap crates too, I`ve found a lot of gems in there.

My favorite shop is Vinyl Kitchen: superb shopowner, very nice down-to-earth and helpfull guy, a lot of disco, 80`s stuff, funk, rock, soul, chancon, new wave, spoken word, classical, soundtracks, dance (perhaps not the perfect place for techoheads). Every week he has two crates with new arrivals, all second hand (all record are cleaned before), you can find the most insane collectors items on a regular basis, I think the maximum price for a record is about 16 euri so you can get amazing deals there. Not to mention that Karel always fix you a good price at the end. After all these years he`s still one of the best. Top!

They have moved again, to Antwerp this time.

Music Man has moved to a smaller store, a few houses down the road, where the CSS DJ store used to be.

Music Man has moved to its brand new location - "Steendam 76 in Ghent"

Same street, only a few houses further away from the old location.

As from today, new opening hours apply:
Monday: Closed
Tuesday: 12h – 19h
Wednesday: 12h – 19h
Thursday: 12h – 20h
Friday: 11h – 19h

We hope to see you there!

Main post updated with (hopefully) the latest info. Some links are dead though.

Music Mania, #1 spot since 1969 for 'rock & grooves' as they call it has luckily NOT been shut down but also moved to a smaller house in the same area, new address is Walpoortstraat.

No website, facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gent-Belgium/Music-Mania-Gent/95678285082?v=info&ref=mf#info_edit_sections

In case someone might look for Shitty Trance, excuse me I mean Striclty Dance, is also closed long time ago.

Thanks, updated. I haven't been to Strictly for quite a while, apparently you can still buy vinyl on their website.

Music Man went bankrupt at the end of December and is now closed.

Yes, so I heard...

Vinyl Kitchen

this is the best and prob only shop worth going to in Gent for original soul funk vinyl, prices ok too.

I'll be at ILT in november this year and would like to know if there's any shops with good selection and friendly prices of house\electro\indie\dubstep music in ghent (and which is up to date and isn't closed). thanks ahead for answering

I posted an update about a year ago. In the meantime, the shop in Donkersteeg and K-billy's are closed. The shop in Ottogracht called Lost & Found is also not selling records anymore.

For all kinds of new music on vinyl and sealed reissues you can go to Fnac (Veldstraat) or Mediamarkt in Oostakker.

Head also to:

Music Mania
Walpoortstraat 3

Some nice original pressings in there , fair prices too. They also sell a special range of heavyweight 7" turntable adapters for 45 soul funk records

There's a new record shop in de Keizer Karelstraat owned by DJ Biens!
