record shops

Album purchasing destinations

Record shops are retail stores specializing in vinyl records and related music media.

The term persists from when records dominated music sales, though many such shops now also stock CDs, cassettes, and music memorabilia.

Record shops often serve as cultural hubs for music enthusiasts and collectors: I found a rare first pressing at a record shop downtown.
