If You Only Go to One Store
A strong Baltimore stop if you want a smaller shop with more personality and curation than a giant all-things-for-everyone store
A strong Baltimore stop if you want a smaller shop with more personality and curation than a giant all-things-for-everyone store. Good fit for used digging with better-than-average taste in the bins.
A good Fells Point option if you want the used side of the hobby first. Best fit for crate digging across a wide range of genres rather than chasing just brand-new releases.
More of a books-and-records institution than a standard polished record boutique. Best fit if you like used stock, deeper catalog browsing, and the feeling that you might stumble into something weird and great.
The Sound Garden
$-$$$The easiest Baltimore starting point if you want one stop that can cover almost everything. Best fit for a broad browse across new and used records with enough volume to keep you digging for a while.
