Sauntered to car park hawker stalls then? Only spot for cheap date's dinner (apart from Koek road daytime). :p
 
Beethoven Music was at Emerald Hill (currently Taka Jewellery) before moving to Centrepoint.

The other record shops in Orchard before the era of Tower/HMV and Grammophone were Sing Disc Sound (Raffles City, Lucky Plaza and a basement corner within CK Tang), Supreme Records (Plaza Sing and Centrepoint), Song Ching/Yi Ching at Wisma, and one at Orchard Emerald which I have forgotten the name.

In the early 90s, the all time fav was Hi Fi Corner in Adelphi, with its weekly Saturday Straits Times Classfified Column attacking its rival, Sembawang Music, free "coffee or tea Sir?", large trying before you buy corner with 20 CD players and young attractive promoters/cashiers. I wonder what happened to the HKies owners (Joe) after it closed down.

Kong Sia, basement, Colombo Court & Cortina Shopping Centre 1st floor, around that same are, we have Da Da Record shop indirectly facing the fire station, & Cosdell at the small shopping mall, owned by SPH now Paragon.
