Thanks for the additional suggestions Pedal12.

I know that both Play De Record and The Beat Goes On are both record shops. But can you tell us what genres of music we can find in each?

[Pedal12]

old school, house, hiphop,R&B Funk, Jazz, they have a pretty wide variety.. 70's 60's classics. And a lot of hard to find vinyl. The guys tend to be very helpful. I don't do vinyl anymore. but it still has a warm spot in my heart.

Let me add one more store to the list. This place is really great for high quality CDs, SACDs and vinyl.

I second that Freetoojazz!

I first learned about http://www.aux33tours.com/ at the Salon Son et Image (audio video show) in Montreal. They always bring a nice selection of vinyl to sell at the show.

Last summer when I went on a trip to Montreal... I went specifically to visit their store and got some really nice records!

I stay near this record store and it's difficult to resist to my passion. I found good things there.

Thanks for sharing this with us Freetoojazz. I would definitely go and check it out if I lived in Montreal!

Let us know what you end up buying.

On a slightly different topic - I've heard that there is a "vinyl show and sale" that takes place in Toronto once a year. Has anyone heard about this? When does it take place?

I buy a lot of new records online, at web shops like Insound and Aural exploits. In Vancouver I like Zulu Records for used rock records and Sikoras for classical. I also buy new records at the big HMV downtown, when they have what I'm looking for.
