 Just a few pics I took of the record shop "Raamatukoi Grammofon" in Tallinn, Estonia. In 1st pic you see cozy interior of the store, with crates of vinyl records, comfy couches, and interesting items displayed on shelves.
In the 2nd pic you might recognize some albums: An album by Estonian ensemble "Fix", an album by inSpe- an Estonia progressive rock group, an album by Tonu Naissoo Trio (Tonu Naissoo is son of Uno Naissoo), an album by Estonian singers Marju Kuut & Uno Loop, an Estonian song festival album from 1979, among other albums. Last pic is of Melodiya Ensemble's album "Labyrinth". Here is a link to the store's blog: http://raamatukoigrammofon.blogspot.com/
