Dhe shop is in the corner of Sachsenhausen where beer is drunk more than Ebbelwei. “There’s light beer,” they say at bars, and craft beer. That sounds like solid craftsmanship, like something traditional – and that goes well with “No.2 Records” on Wallstrasse. Because the music store relies primarily on vinyl – the material from which records were made and are still being made. Even if the sales numbers are low, the LP is not dead. Used panes everywhere, you can tell at second glance who is involved in the business.
The man behind the counter, which is protected with Plexiglas in accordance with the corona virus, greets with an age-independent and friendly “Hi”. Bar jazz bubbles out of the speakers. Later it becomes livelier and more rhythmic. Is that bebop? the visitor, who isn’t sure about jazz, asks himself. While this question is haunting the back of his mind, old LP covers and black discs literally captivate him.
