I know some of the old stores in Stockholm are closed now. Which are still there, and are there any new ones? I'm going to be there in early June

What route did you consider to take to Stockholm? If I am a stop along the way I believe I still owe you a drink or something.

Check out Trash Palace and Ideal for a Living. They are within walking distances of each other (St. Eriksplan). You can find addresses and directions on Google I guess.

I'm going by train from Kiruna with 26 tenth grade pupils, I probably shouldn't drink

Is one of those the same as "Nostalgipalatset" then? That used to be at St. Eriksplan. Thanks

Trash Palace is right next door to Nostalgipalatset. They're affiliated. Nostalgipalatset is still in action but I think they quit stocking metal since Trash Palace is fully dedicated to metal and hard rock. They have easily the best selection of metal vinyl in Stockholm but don't expect bargain prices.

@ Knuthulhu:

If you go to Solna (very short trip by train or the blue metro line) you could visit these two stores who resides next to each other on Råsundavägen 110. They may not have a lot of rarities but the do have good prices and seem to stock mostly good conditioned stuff. Great places for completing the missing gaps of regular stuff in your collection and, if lucky, even make some finds...

I was there last weekend and came home with some neat non-metal vinyls by Roadmaster, Charlie, Good Rats, Peps Blodsband, The Angels, 38 Special, Wasa Express... most of it near mint to mint and priced between 20-50 skr.

That's good stuff there. I think I've got all the Roadmaster, Charlie and Good Rats albums already actually
I've lived in Solna when I've visited the great record fair in Stockholm, so finding these should be fairly easy.

Thanks for the tips Mordred. My memory is starting to work properly now, so I remember having visited Trash Palace a couple of years back. Picked up some stuff there and ended up having it stolen from me at T-centralen

That might pose a problem, but not as big of a problem that it's completely opposite of the route you'd need to take to pass through my regions.

Hm, that may well be a good point too. I live up north, so it's a fair bit of travel to get to Kiruna too

Keep the talk about "passing through your regions" to PM

Sorry, I couldn't help myself

Hot records was pretty good. The prices were low and I found some records there (pretty common ones, mostly borderline metal).

Found some stuff at Trash Palace too. As usually, the prices were high, but I managed to get the ones I wanted a little lower.

Thanks for the tips Mordred and GJ

Anyone going to Solnas record fair this weekend?
Is it any good? Any tips? How much is the beer there?

It's the biggest and best record fair in Sweden for sure.
