Edited the title/DaN


I'm going to visit St. Petersburg in October.
Some suggestions of good metal records (not nessessary RARE) and if you know any Record shops in St. Petersburg i would be glad hearing them...

And of course, the eastern-block/2-meter-tall/white-as-snow/bloody-as-sand chicks are on the top of my Wantlist!! :P

I've been told that very few actual stores sell old vinyls in Russia. Outdoor markets/stands should be your best bet.

There are (were?) some good shops like:
Dohlaya Ryba
Old Jolly rocker
Beriozka
If I remember right, all of them are on the Metro station Petrogradskaya (Blue line/line 2).
I did some great finds there.

So, did you find any of those stores? I'm going to St.Petersburg later this spring myself.

I was told by some guys there that Dohla Ryba closed 2 years ago.
Couldn't find the other two due to lack of time (i was there for a Martial Arts championship)

The only vinyls i found was some pop LPs used fort the Airport's cafe decoration (Pulcovo)...

I was unlucky cause i found out that two days before my arrival Skoraya Pomosch were performing live :(

Hope you'll get more lucky!
