I think their ...You forgot Plaza Records in Komtar! I think their name came from their original outlet at Penang Plaza. Alao at Penang Plaza was Quin Sound. I was at both these shops during their end days. Records were going cheap. Both these shops no longer exist. Records are now going through a revival (which began in the early 90s) and it is nice to find shops selling new vinyl today. What is not so nice are their prices, which range from about RM130 upwards per 12" disc. If I want to seek out old titles, I hit the antique stores in Penang, the flea market and some jumble sales. Or I acquire them via the internet.beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658276418404524061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871598845038438285.post-82732077635120338852011-07-22T14:07:41.554+08:002011-07-22T14:07:41.554+08:00Yeah same here.

Wing Hing was my daily hangout after lunch when my office was at Leith St. Quick lunch, then popped over to chit chat and test out whatever he had on the shelf. :)UNITEDisLIFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754075685883050243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871598845038438285.post-31686278937993810692011-07-22T12:01:00.758+08:002011-07-22T12:01:00.758+08:00Actually, thanks for pointing out that paper label...Actually, thanks for pointing out that paper label. At least now, I see that the Wing Hing record shop was located at 174 Campbell Street, Penang. Time for me to go there and see exactly what it has turned into. But really, lost touch with Jimmy totally. I didn't even realise until very much later that the shop had folded. By then, it was too late to catch up with him. I remember that the shop used a Lenco turntable to try out the records for their customers. Their best customers could also listen in comfort in a private room behind the counter.SS Quahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381303088063204630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871598845038438285.post-18678990327654285182011-07-22T11:18:46.967+08:002011-07-22T11:18:46.967+08:00Of course!Of course!SS Quahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381303088063204630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871598845038438285.post-17326343781548922672011-07-22T11:13:42.845+08:002011-07-22T11:13:42.845+08:00Remember this?
