Percival Records, Sheung Wan - for classical music LPs and CDs and more

FOR THE RECORD A Lazarus species is an animal that was presumed to be extinct, only to be rediscovered years later. Percival Records is one such creature: a street-level record shop. Tucked behind the clothing stalls and fast food shops of Wing Kut Street in Sheung Wan, the store was founded by the Shiu family in 1977. The focus is on classical, but not exclusively. Flipping through its neatly ordered shelves of LPs and CDs reveals a mix from old-school crooners such as Teresa Teng to a mint vinyl imprint of Michael Jackson's Dangerous (HK$338), and a limited edition LP of Russian violinist Yuri Bashmet playing Brahms (HK$500).
