Record digging tips for Agassiz

Digging in Agassiz? A few habits pay off:

• Note the shop's specialties at Long & McQuade. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
• Visit on restock days at Chilliwax Records. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.
• Bring cash for the small shops. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
• Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.
