Record digging tips for Lévis

How the regulars work Lévis's bins:

• Handle records properly in the shop at Musique chez Sonny. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
• Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve at Le Knock-Out. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
• Check the dead wax. The runout groove holds matrix numbers that identify pressings. Collectors live by these; a quick phone search settles it.
• Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Lévis — 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 Lévis can take a while to appear. The 5 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

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 5 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.
