romualdo Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Wonder what the $4200 vinyl item was?? Edited January 31, 2011 by romualdo Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 they probably got most of their stuff on buying trips from Stereo Jack. Quote
Stonewall15 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Do they sell on the internet? If they do this would be a great source for U.S. and other countries to get hard-to-find Japanese CDs. Quote
Dmitry Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) A store like this 'disk UNION JAZZ' would not turn a day's worth of profit anywhere in the US, including New York. My first xrcd [Harlem Blues] came from the 'disk UNION' flagship store in Akihabara more than a decade ago. Now they've opened a separate Jazz store. Good on them! Must be a pretty amazing place to browse. Edited January 31, 2011 by Dmitry Quote
JohnJ Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Was there on Saturday! Great store, not just jazz though, they also sell soul and blues Cd's/LP's. For whatever reason it tends to be more expensive than some of the other diskunion stores in Tokyo. I actually prefer the diskunion jazz store in Shinjuku. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) "Hanawa said women in their 20s and 30s should feel comfortable visiting the store alone as the store entrance is designed like one for a fashionable clothing store or a restaurant." Covering all the bases. Manolo Blahnik to occupy the ladies, whilst their jazz geek other halves scan the rare Blue Note racks. Now why didn't Mole think of that?

kinuta Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I used to go there quite often,a great shop but so are the branches in Shinjuku, Shibuya and Kichijoji. Edited February 1, 2011 by kinuta Quote

JSngry Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Are these the same people that did the DIW label? Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Who shops there? I thought all the Japanese vinyl junkies were in the US or Brazil. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Are these the same people that did the DIW label? yup Quote
kinuta Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Wonder whether sending them a wants list of LPs would get a response... No. They don't do international shipping. I don't know if they will ship domestically either. Strictly a cash, no credit cards, over the counter set up. Edited February 2, 2011 by kinuta Quote
