Record digging tips for Medicine Hat

How the regulars work Medicine Hat's bins:

• Check the bargain wall rhythm at Sunrise Records. Shops restock the cheap sections on cycles. Ask when — that's when the fresh bargains land.
• Inspect the seams. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
• Note the shop's specialties. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.
