I've been looking for some record spots in the Orlando area...


And I've found none...

The goodwills ? No records...


Now I KNOW people don't dig out here...because if you heard any of the producers out here.....

All the beats sound like techno....


I've downloaded records online..........but you know..mp3....digital....no true sound......

Sometimes you could get entire instrumental collections online and stuff......just have to know where to get them >=)

If anyone lives out here and knows of any record spots....hit me up......

If you know what you are looking for, meaning you know what labels you like and artists, etc. sometimes I find some good records on ebay and shit. Or meet a lot of old people!!! they always have tons of records they dont use anymore. My grandmother gave me like 500 records of her's. They are all old like from the 30s 40s and 50s but no the less some of them have some good sounds on them.

A lot of places that sell records don't advertise. Check out used book shops and places like that... just gotta dig deeper.

Good idea, one of the better places I found was a bookstore that didn't advertise. Musta had 30 crates for 50cents. It took me a few hours to check each one out, plus he cut me a deal. Too bad quality plastics and inner sleaves cannot be found so stealthly. Here is the best place I have found for resealable plastic outers:

Haha ya that's the worst.. I usually just take em from other records (if there's any available !).


Whaa?? ahaha I can't believe I didn't think about that. I am always so excited while flipping I never thought about that.. an even if outer plastics are not available then I know I could get inner sleaves for the records I want that have none. I wouldn't go an take more than the records that I am buying that are missing them because I always run into empty sleaves from sumbags who double-stuffed.. but If I am buying them and they are missing an inner-sleave or plastic then that's no foul in my books. Thanks for the idea

word, do you have any wonder book and video stores. I have one near me that has a whole wall of records, a lot of classical but you sometimes can find some good records there for cheap, craigslist, search around you sometimes where are people selling records. basically you have to be dedicated to diggin and you have to want to dig.

Anyone know of any record shops out here? LOL

Try living in a country that doesn't have any record shops at all. (maybe Hong Kong has some, I should check that out).

No wonder book places around here, but there are plenty of indy book shops. Although hit and miss, some pawn shops have records too.

Your best bet is to see if there are any reviews on the net, or if there's any places that advertise vinyl.

Yeah I think Hong Kong is my best bet, cause on the mainland back in the seventies and earlier no-one was listening to anything but revolutionary music. Any vinyl that would be sold would be new stuff.
