Record digging tips for Beaufort

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

• Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve at Downeast Bound Music. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
• Ask about the return policy. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.
• Inspect the seams. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Beaufort — 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 Beaufort can take a while to appear. The 1 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 1 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.
