Record digging tips for Kilkenny

Digging in Kilkenny? A few habits pay off:

• Ask to play it at Golden Discs. Good shops have turntables for exactly this. If they won't let you listen, that's information too.
• Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Buy the weird stuff. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
• The listening station is the test. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
