Record stores?

I will be in Medellin for the last 2 weeks of December. I wonder if anyone can offer suggestions of where I might be able to find some stores that sell old LPs from the 1980s by the top 40 USA & UK artists such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, Pet Shop Boys, etc,. I am especially interested in Colombian, Venezuelan, or Argentinian pressings that include the titles translated into Spanish or Protuguese. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try Tower Records. They still have affiliates in Colombia although the
main chain closed in the states. They
Have a Colombia website but it is down
for maintenance.........? They have a motly
selection of independent artists.
Tower bought on consignment in the states....Iam not sure how Tower works
in Colombia. I worked at Tower in NYC.
They carried everthing that people wanted
but wasn't available elsewhere.

Only in bogotá. Go to CARRERA 7 CON CALLE 19. then take one street to the west. You´ll see a little mall known as "omni 19". You´ll see almost any record you´re looking for. (Colombian releases, of course)

car1, If you live in the U.S. as you say; and live in Louisiana, and you are a female as you say; and were born in the U.S. as you say why do you right with so much ignorance? I know many people in Louisiana and some are Cajuns and/or creoles and they never sound like you do.

Actually I do not mind how you write, but I hope people in here do not think that you are serious in the way you express yourself. Personally, I think you are a fake.

It is not life that matters, but the journey.
