record shop
Album retail outlet
A record shop is a retail store specializing in vinyl records and other music formats.
The term persists even as physical music sales have declined: There's a great record shop downtown that stocks rare pressings.
Record shops often serve as cultural hubs for music enthusiasts and collectors.
