Established in the 1930s, Shah Music Centre, which is now run by the third generation of the family, continues to deal exclusively in LP records and players. With around two lakh records in their assembly, the owner believes that LP records are certainly making a comeback in this digital age. Shah tells us that on an average around 30 – 40 customers from all over the country come scavenging for records and players.
Apart from Bollywood legends, if someone is seeking rare records on LP or wants to get something shipped, Shah can help source the record for them. The shop also deals in gramophones, including the original wind-up players and the electronic record players that were in use until the 1980s.
