Can't remember liao.. don't care also.. their CDs so expensive, want to support also cannot. I only went there to sample the CDs, then go CD rama or Sembawang Music to buy the CDs. Cheaper by a few dollars. [laugh]

i think online music sales (Apple and amazon) killed the brick and mortar music stores.

 

I am more worried over book stores in singapore though.

The publishing industries were intentionally made weaken during those strong man years.

Selling accessories and assessments can still make a living, but printed pages or coffee table books are still way better than ebook readers.

 

Looking at the current floor plan layout (whether public housing or private), there are very little space allocated for study table, let alone book shelves.

 

But I must say our libraries (or NLB) are doing a great job for the past two decades.

Emi Fujita CDs...

You tried Adelphi or some audiophile shops? if not, amazon is still one of the best place.

 

If going full digital, itunes store?

 

Not sure if marina bay, esplanade library has the cd? can try.

they are still there but taking smaller space and hiding in a not so obvious corner, that why nobody bother to notice it.
