Does anyone know where I can buy some records in Kunming, particularly jazz and classical? I know of one store on 一二一大街 near Yunda but was hoping to find a few alternatives. Also, if anyone has experience with this, should I be able to expect to haggle at all? I know these are rare imports, but I can't imagine that there is much demand.

Ma Li at Wheatfield Bookstore (www.gokunming.com/[...] around the corner from the Yunda west gate has a limited but interesting selection. Last time I was there I saw a copy of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis.... definitely worth a look, Ma Li might also know some other places in town to pick up vinyl, but I'm guessing it's gonna be revolutionary songs or stuff that was coming out of Shanghai in the 1920s-30s.

Thanks chris, I'll have a look! I was able to pick up a copy of Criss-Cross by Thelonious Monk at the place on 一二一大街, but yikes, not cheap.

Looks like the records at Wheatfield Bookstore are from his own collection and not for sale...bummer.
