Record digging tips for Detroit
How the regulars work Detroit's bins:
- Handle records properly in the shop at Marshall Music. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
- Check for box sets at Slick Disc. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
- Genre-hop. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
- Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Detroit — 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 Detroit can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 29, 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 29 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.
