Record digging tips for Fredericton
A few things worth knowing before you work through Fredericton's record stores:
- Learn the grading at Backstreet Records. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
- Check Discogs before big purchases at Sunrise Records. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
- Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
- Check for warps in the shop. Hold the record at eye level and sight along it. Warps that look minor at home look obvious in the store.
