Record digging tips for Hamilton
How the regulars work Hamilton's bins:
- Sleeves matter for value at HMV. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
- 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.
- Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
- Go often, dig briefly. Short frequent visits beat rare expeditions. Fifteen minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly dig.
Good to know
We searched about 25 km around Hamilton — 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 Hamilton 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.
