Record stores in Lembang

Record shops reward the patient digger. Lembang, West Bandung Regency has 1 mapped right now. Just the one mapped record shop in Lembang — dig deep, and ask the staff what's new in the bins. Check the grading before you pay — a visual grade and a play grade are two different things.

Record digging tips for Lembang

A few things worth knowing before you work through Lembang's record stores:

• The listening station is the test at Disc Tara. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
• Note the shop's specialties. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
• Buy the weird stuff. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Lembang — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Lembang can take a while to appear. The 1 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
