Record digging tips for Carmarthen

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

Don't overlook cassettes and CDs at James Music. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
Ask about want-list services. Good shops will keep an eye out for your grails. It takes patience, but the call when it lands is worth it.
The listening station is the test. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.

Good to know

Spotted a closure among the 1, 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 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.
