Where is that store?
Just the traditional record store chain, in this case a shopping mall branch.
I was dispatched there (the mall) to fetch dinner, but somehow “detoured” and ended up browsing vinyls (I have no idea how that happened).
But seriously, finding Splat! available in such a random place in the big wide world shows EDEL are really doing their thing right.
Cheers, J.-

We don’t have those in malls anymore. But we do have the Galeria do Rock in São Paulo, with some nice stores.
There is also one good CD store next block, because I live near the instrument stores and musicians walk around all the time. But the big stores gave up on music.

I suppose they approve of torture in South American record stores do they?

Here in Milan, you can find no more than three , perhaps four music shops (cd,lp)
Cool! Never saw that Rainbow boot over here in Europe.
I traveled in Norway and Denmark recently, and there’s a great record store in Oslo called Platekompaniet, Splat! was on display all over the store, and lots of other interesting stuff. Didn’t really have time to look for any record stores in Denmark, but I know of some cool stores in Copenhagen. In Sweden and Finland, most rockers only buy vinyl these days. Seems like CD is still selling pretty well in other parts of Europe though.
Same here (city with population ~1 mln). There are a handful of specialty/second hand record stores left, but no big box/in-the-mall ones. Physical media is very much a niche market these days.
A few specialized or second-hand record shops have managed to hang on here too, those three or four I mentioned.
Time ago It was not the same, so sad.
. I hate buying things online.
I bought it at Amazon DE almost 3 years ago. The sound quality and pressing is very good, but there is a radio DJ talking during some of the songs (kind of an audio watermark to prevent bootlegging 
) which was only removed partially
I travel almost every year for family reasons to Rio/Niterói and it’s rather difficult these days to find new vinyl records or even CDs in the Rio metropolitan area.
Almost 25 years ago I went to a small record store in Rio downtown, somewhere around Rua do Ouvidor and told the vendor that I was looking for CDs of Baden Powell. He went over to the “International Artist” area and started his search there…

Ouch!
Last time I was in Rio, Baratos da Ribeiro was still around in Botafogo (I bought a copy of Jesus Christ Superstar there, the Brazilian vinyl edition). But I don’t know if it still exists, because I don’t go to Rio often.
I’m releasing a book next month and we want to schedule a night in Rio. I want it to be at the Livraria da Travessa in Botafogo, because it is the most charming bookstore in Brazil, near my favourite bars in Rio and two blocks away from where Baratos da Ribeiro used to be.
