Record digging tips for Annecy
A few things worth knowing before you work through Annecy's record stores:
- Check the turntable section at Vinyl & Coffee. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
- Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve at Music Leader. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
- Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
- Ask to play it. Good shops have turntables for exactly this. If they won't let you listen, that's information too.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Annecy — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Annecy can take a while to appear. The 2 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 2 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
