Minty Vinyl - The must-visit record shop in Düsseldorf for all kinds of collectors
The shop itself is relatively petite, but he makes excellent use of his space. Near the entrance is a well-stocked 10€ bin. On the wall, he displays some more rare copies to add some character. The more popular titles are sorted by the main genres in the main room and keeps the rest of his extremely rare inventory in the back, where he spends most of his time. He’s also got a healthy rotation of new stock, so even locals have a reason to come back regularly.
