The sign does the sorting for you: the underground record store specialised in psychedelic, stoner, kraut and progressive. Buy, sell, trade, and not much else in the way of compromise. Doors open Friday and Saturday only, 11:30 to 17:00. The shop is temporarily at Cacilienstrasse 21 in 3007 Bern while the Optingenstrasse premises are rebuilt through to autumn 2026; take bus 10 from the station towards Koniz and get off at Eigerplatz. Between times the shop's Shady Record Dealer series posts recommendations and interviews with the people who make this stuff.
