What the map tells us about record stores in Markham
8 of the 49 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.
15 have websites listed. Worth a look for new-arrival posts and want-list services.
There's a cluster: 3 of them sit on Danforth Avenue, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
The Markham record crawl
Plot these on a map and the day plans itself: Cosmos Records on 607A Queen Street West, Love Music, Crodisk Croatian Music on 16 35 King Street East, Deja Vu Discs, Deja Vu Discs, High Notes Vinyl Shop on 109 Lakeshore Road East, Ric's Recollections, and Village Vinyl Emprium & Cafe on 2925 Lake Shore Boulevard West. That's 49 stops on the Markham record crawl. 41 more are listed below.
Record digging tips for Markham
A few things worth knowing before you work through Markham's record stores:
- Bring a want-list at Cosmos Records. Write down what you're hunting. Digging is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
- Check the turntable section at Love Music. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
- Note the shop's specialties. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
- Check the dead wax. The runout groove holds matrix numbers that identify pressings. Collectors live by these; a quick phone search settles it.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Markham — 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 Markham can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 49, 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 49 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.
