Record digging tips for Castlegar

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

• The dollar bin is honest work at The B-Side Record Shop. Nobody's getting rich off the dollar bin, but the joy-per-dollar ratio is unbeatable. Flip through all of it.
• Check the turntable section. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• The listening station is the test. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
• Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
