Record digging tips for George Town

How the regulars work George Town's bins:

• Check Discogs before big purchases at Hamley Music Centre 翰利音乐学院. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
• Check for box sets. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
• Learn the grading. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
• Ask about want-list services. Good shops will keep an eye out for your grails. It takes patience, but the call when it lands is worth it.

Good to know

Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in George Town 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.
