New record stores in Barcelona and Badalona: Revolver closes, but others open

The closure of Discos Revolver has left many with a void that's hard to fill. For years, it was a benchmark for collectors, the curious, and vinyl lovers. But as is often the case in music, when one note fades, another begins to sound. And in Barcelona and Badalona, new stores are taking over with fresh, friendly, and very personal offerings.

🎶Ultra-Local Records (Poblenou)

At 113 Pujades Street, Ultra-Local Records has become the neighborhood's musical heart. It's much more than a record store: it's a meeting point for independent labels, local bands, and vinyl lovers.

Their specialty is self-released albums, international releases, and secondhand material. They also organize intimate concerts and activities that make every visit an experience. If you're looking for music with a sense of identity, this is your place.

📀Wham Vintage Store (Badalona)

And if we cross over to Badalona, we find a gem that's just starting to shine brightly: Wham Vintage Store. Although young, this store is growing thanks to its carefully curated selection of jazz, pop, rock, and Spanish music records.

Here, vinyl isn't just a product: it's the soul of the project. The space also offers books, comics, antiques and retro fashion, becoming a cultural corner that breathes nostalgia and passion.

📚Wham Vintage Store: A story with its own rhythm

Wham Vintage Store was born from an idea that had been brewing for some time. More than a store, it's a personal project, a space where music, nostalgia, and design blend like a good record: each track has its own character, but they're all part of a single experience.

The seed of Wham arose from years of collecting vinyl records, exploring flea markets, and dreaming of creating a place that exuded authenticity. Badalona offered the opportunity to open in a place with history and soul, far from the saturation of downtown Barcelona, but close to a community that values detail and character. That's how it all began: with a shelf full of records, a selection of books, retro fashion, and a lot of love put into every object.

Since its inception, Wham has remained faithful to a clear mission: to offer well-selected records—Jazz, Pop, Rock, and Spanish music—and to become a meeting point for music lovers, collectors, and the curious. The store has grown thanks to word of mouth, social media, and, above all, to those who walk through the door and stay and chat about music as if they've known each other forever.
