Record digging tips for El Paso

Digging in El Paso? A few habits pay off:

• Note the shop's specialties at Rock 70's. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
• Genre-hop. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
• Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
• Bring a want-list. Write down what you're hunting. Digging is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
