I don't think there are any good record stores left. Before the advent of file-sharing and e-bay, I used to buy at CD Warehouse too but the problem is they put high price tags on albums that aren't worth zip outside the Philippines. You can try Buy-and-Sell. There are some sellers of brand new cds there, sometimes.

I agree to that MIKEY!! TOWER RECORDS MANILA still sell some great NEW WAVE stuffs. CD WAREHOUSE, MUSIC WINDOW, DISC EXCHANGE, GROOVE NATION RECORDS, SKID ROW RECORD SHOP before has great stuffs. It's just unfortunate that all of these RECORD SHOPS closed down. Try WAVEMASTER'S BEE BOP at MAKATI CINEMA SQUARE it is still open. I used to buy VINYL RECORDS there too. Right now I get my stuffs from COLLECTORS, from RELATIVES and FRIENDS living abroad, from FRIEND'S TRIP abroad, from THE INTERNET, and of course ODYSSEY, MUSIC ONE,and TOWER RECORDS MANILA. Hmmp! I'm still waiting for the CDs that MIKE SUTTON is giving me. HE HE HE!

No more Tower Records in Makati or any other places in the Philippines...only Music One.

Tower Records is already bankrupt. Music One is the sole survivor.

I just heard from Tower Records PH yesterday. I do promotions work with them. And one of their employees is a friend of mine.

Just wana share this.

During my time, i bought cassettes at Musikland, Farmers Plaza. Then, do you guys remember SM North EDSA? There is a boutique there called ECLIPZE. They are selling original vinyls. Also with fellow boutique neighbors KHUMBELLA and HIGH ADVENTURE. Thats where i bought most of my stuff. Then i switched to Recto. The Tandem Arcade is selling bootleg, locally unreleased NW and Punk Albums. They are also selling NW posters and Shirts. Then Odyssey, bought little there because the saleslady didnt know much about NW bands. Groove Nation Records. I bought there The Big Dish, 2nd hand but still pricey.

I believe there is still Tower Records at SM North Edsa and Megamall. CD Warehouse has very expensive NW CD's but worth it.

Thanks DSR for the info on Wavemaster Bee Bop.

Right now, im just strolling by the Quiapo area. Sometimes, you can find there original 2nd hand NW cd's but the odds are 90/10.

Im just burning CD's right now.

?--are we the only FILIPINO members here??

The record store in Megamall is Music One not Tower Records...as I have said before Tower Records is already bankrupt...luckily, Music One merged with Tower Records Phils..that's why we still have Music One instead of Tower Records...

Btw, i saw a guy in Glorietta he is wearing a SHAMBHU shirt...I thought i was dreaming but im not..I was too shy to ask the guy where he bought it baka sabihin im gay...hahaha

In my opinion, CD warehouse is more reliable when it comes to availability of New Wave albums...in Tower/Music 1 the albums are limited...yun nga lang you're right it is very expensive...and ur right too...its worth buying the albums... =)

cheers!

YUP! sf87 I just confirmed yesterday that TOWER RECORDS MANILA sold their rights to MUSIC ONE just to make the store going. WOW!! SHAMBU SHIRT!! I have a lot of that before. Right now, I have also a lot of NEW WAVE T-SHIRTS which a friend of mine (who is also a great NEW WAVE COLLECTOR) sells to me once in a while when he gets time to make a design. I have T-SHIRTS of "NO SENSE OF SIN- LOTUS EATERS", "RECURRENCE- RAILWAY CHILDREN", etc. which he designed.
