When it comes to music, listening to vinyl records is my favourite way to enjoy it, and Uncle Laci's vinyl shop is the mecca of local collectors and music fans like me.
The place is a showroom for about 3000 records, with even more out of sight in storage. I like their system: it's well organised, so I do not need to check out all the stuff I am not really interested in, since the records are categorised by county and music style and are in alphabetical order.
If you have a concrete thing you are looking for, Uncle Laci keeps all the vinyls he has in stock in mind - he is a guaranteed professional. His prices are also much lower than in any other country I have experienced, and most of them are Hungarian releases of international bands that are of extremely good quality. Perhaps most important: all of them are in enough good condition to use daily.
