Hidden behing a rather non-descript front door, just off a busy city street - a set of winding stairs transport you into the cool and inviting space that is, Curated Records.
This store seemed to be intentionally hard to find - as if it were a Speakeasy or a hidden door behind what looks like just a bookcase. And while it may not be the easiest store to locate on your first visit, if you are willing to take the time to seek it out you will be richly rewarded, as I was on a recent holiday to Singapore, with the joy of not only discovering this hard to find treasure trove, but also discovering some brilliant records when you get there.
The huge selection of quality vinyl on offer was outstanding and while the range of artists represented was really impressive, the number of differnt albums from each of those artist was something that was a real highlight at Curated Records.
Coming from Perth, WA where, we are spoilt with a number of great record stores - I think Curated Records is a stand out. Maybe some of that judgment is wrapped up in the joy of the discovery or recency bias but whatever the case may be - I left with a handful of great records and would love to be able to go back again sometime soon.
