Record digging tips for Charlottetown

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

• Inspect the seams at Back Alley Music. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.
• Ask about the return policy. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.
• Go often, dig briefly. Short frequent visits beat rare expeditions. Fifteen minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly dig.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Charlottetown — 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 Charlottetown can take a while to appear. 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.
