Record digging tips for Aurora

A few things worth knowing before you work through Aurora's record stores:

• Inspect the seams at Wrong Way Records. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
• Ask about want-list services at Sunrise Records. Good shops will keep an eye out for your grails. It takes patience, but the call when it lands is worth it.
• Don't overlook cassettes and CDs. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
• Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Aurora — 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 Aurora can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 3, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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 3 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.
