MABU VINYL NOW IN RHEEDE STREET
Mabu Vinyl, the well-known music shop in Cape Town, will
soon be celebrating its two-year anniversary in its more spacious new premises
at 2 Rheede Street in Gardens. The shop is situated just off the corner of
Kloof Street (next door to A&A Furnishers), and is just a “muffin’s throw
away” from Vida e Caffé, the very popular nearby coffee shop in Kloof Street.
Mabu Vinyl carries a large selection of new and second hand
items including LP records, 12” singles, 7” singles, 78’s, CD’s, DVD’s,
cassette tapes, videos, books, T-shirts, comics, magazines, and even a
selection of refurbished turntables and hi-fi’s. Mabu Vinyl buys, sells and
trades in all and any of these items. The shop also carries a range of
independent CD releases by a range of South African artists.
Mabu Vinyl grew out of the well-known Kloof Street
bric-a-brac store, Kloofmart, which was run for many years by Johan Vosloo in
the premises now occupied by Vida e Caffé. Jacques Vosloo, the owner’s son,
started the record store in the back section of Kloofmart before the store
moved to its next premises a few shops away, next to the other well-known Kloof
Street music shop, High Five.
Then in October 2003, Mabu Vinyl again moved further down
the road into its next premises in Buitenkloof Centre on the corner of Kloof
and Buitensingel Streets. Soon after, Stephen Segerman joined Jacques in the
store, adding a stock of CD’s, tapes, and DVD’s to the already huge selection
of records that fills every corner of this eclectically decorated store.
The new Mabu Vinyl store has something for everyone with
hundreds of 7″ singles, 12″ dance singles (for the many club DJ’s who frequent
Mabu), and a broad range of rock, pop, jazz, soul, country, comedy, blues,
soundtrack, South African and classical LP records. There is also a wide range
of new and used CD’s, DVD’s, cassette tapes and books, mostly at reduced or
sale prices, and the shop has many regular customers who love to take a few
hours to browse through the many music items on display.
Parking for the new Mabu Vinyl store is available downstairs
in the Rheede Centre parking garage, or at the nearby Kwikspar or Lifestyle
centres in Kloof Street.
