It was very strange walking into this store since it was mostly made up of cassette tapes with few CDs laid out in the middle. It reminded me of the early 90s when the market was just starting to get introduced to CDs and so I suddenly felt the urge to pick up a Vanilla Ice cassette.
What helped with this early 90s flashback was the fact that the majority of the tapes were from that era, Color Me Bad, Culture Beat, Dr Alban, you name it and they were all “Thomsun Original” branded tapes similar to the one’s Bells and Swan Lake used to sell for those who still remember. At KD1 for 3 tapes that’s a lot cheaper than the KD1.750 we used to pay for a single tape. Ah, the good old days of The Video Club…
The store is located on the first floor of the parking lot building behind Johnny Rockets Salhiya.

Ice ice baby is one of those songs you’d listen to and go “Why do I like this song???” .. same feeling when you listen Falco – Rock me Amadeus as well. š
Wow ! Would love a room like that !
Hi Mark! Do you think this place still exist? I have a doubt that it’s no longer there since this post was from 2010. Just wondering.. I’ve been obsessed with Old Kuwait lately..
