Hmmm. I hoped to keep it silent ;-) but Zurich is a great city for record hunting!

There are many stores, many within walking distance.
My personnal favorite is:
Tapioka Records
Nice collection of house and techno classics and lots of jazz and Disco.
It is in the basement of
Hum Records
Ankerstrasse 11

Hum is a hip hop store.

For more good Hip Hop
6pack Records

Has everything, but unfortunately knows what to ask for it.

p45 records

Mainly minimal and techno. Has a sale of many techno classics. Nice shop and good service.

Crazy Beat

Sonic Records
Anwandstrasse 30

Lot of people raving about it. Not my style. On the other side of the street is another record store.

On the crossing of Langstrasse and Stauffacherstrasse (on the opposive of Hooters) is a record store above a clothing store. Mainly new house and hip hop.

And many more.
