Bahlo Records on Dorstener Strasse in Bochum opened in early 2016, offering a small range of new pressings alongside a large selection of used records. The owner has collected since his teens and traded vinyl professionally since 2015, across a broad musical interest, and valuing and buying whole collections is as much of the business as selling. One member of staff joined having first been a customer, which tells you the kind of shop it is.
