Record digging tips for Baltimore
How the regulars work Baltimore's bins:
- Buy the weird stuff at Menchey Music Service, Inc.. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
- Check the turntable section at All About Music. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
- Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.
- Check for warps in the shop. Hold the record at eye level and sight along it. Warps that look minor at home look obvious in the store.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Baltimore — 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 Baltimore can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 18 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
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 18 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.
