Record digging tips for Bordeaux

How the regulars work Bordeaux's bins:

• Learn the grading at Total Heaven. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
• Genre-hop at Bouffard Musique. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
• Check Discogs before big purchases. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
• Ask to play it. Good shops have turntables for exactly this. If they won't let you listen, that's information too.

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 11 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.
