Record store shopping in other countries is just as fun as it is here. In some ways, more so!
Whenever I go to a new place, I try to find a record store. Once I'm there, I try to find a record or single on vinyl from a local band. This isn't always easy, but most record stores have a "Locals" section of their inventory, and I'll just browse through that until I find something that looks like it might be good or interesting or at least in a genre that I enjoy.
In Seville, Spain, my daughter and I went to a couple of record stores, and bought one full album and three singles, all of Spanish bands.
The full album was the first Cerebros Exprimidos album, "Mas Suicidas," which promised to be a punk/hard-core album by a band in Seville. It turns out they're actually from the island of Majorca, but maybe they live in Seville now. Not sure.
Here's a song from the album, with a great image of their album cover.
I'll post more links to other record finds soon - we picked up 10 or 11 records on our trip through Spain and Portugal, but I haven't heard them all yet.
