The (almost) in the headline
Know a shop we're missing?
We say almost for a reason — no directory is ever finished. If you know a spot that stocks records — a record store, a bookshop with a crate in the corner, a bar that sells wax by the bin — tell us. You don't have to own it. Every tip gets checked by a human before it goes on the map.
On the wall
RIP to our fallen
Running a record shop is a brutal business — thin margins, rising rents, and most people who open one do it for the love of the crate, not the money. When one closes, we don't delete it. We keep the page up, dated and sourced, pointing diggers to the nearest open bins. 471 gone and counted so far. The crate remembers.
