Vopo Records
Punk, metal and hardcore fans could spend hours rifling through the selection of CDs and vinyl here, although if you’re into electronica, German hip-hop or plain old rock and roll, you also stand a good chance of digging up some choice finds. Prices are moderate and the try-before-you-buy policy is a welcome asset. It also sells the ubiquitous black T-shirts of many bands, and concert tickets.

Mr Dead & Mrs Free
With a pedigree going back to 1983, this little place is a veritable institution on Berlin’s music scene. Techno types should look elsewhere, though, for here the focus is clearly on rock, pop, country, indie, alternative, even jazz, soul and blues – much of it on import from the UK and US. Both vinyl and CDs are available.

Scratch Records
A small but choice selection of soul, funk, electro, R&B, jazz and soundtracks on vinyl and CD – much of it hard-to-find imports and re-issues – forms the core of Scratch Records. The in-the-know staff will be only too happy to help you source a new favourite. Even the discount bin holds the occasional treasure.

Platten Pedro
Vinyl purists happily make the trip out to this cultish store packed to the rafters with vintage albums, from pop to punk to polka - and not a CD in sight! It's near Schloss Charlottenburg.
