Record digging tips for Chilliwack

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

• Check for box sets at Long & McQuade. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
• Visit on restock days at RETRO MEDIA Music & Video. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.
• Bring a want-list. Write down what you're hunting. Digging is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Chilliwack — 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 Chilliwack can take a while to appear. The 4 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 4 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.
