Digging around Mont-Saint-Hilaire anyway

No mapped record shops doesn't mean no vinyl. The usual stand-ins: charity-shop record sections (priced to move, restocked by donations), estate sales, flea markets, and the nearest city's record shops — worth a day trip with a want-list and a full tank.

Mont-Saint-Hilaire sits about 46° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is peak digging season: dark evenings, the new-arrivals bin fresh from the autumn collection sell-offs, and nowhere better to spend a Saturday.

And ask at the library: some lend vinyl now, and librarians always know where the local collectors trade.

Digging smarts for Mont-Saint-Hilaire

No mapped record shops yet, but the digging skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Check for warps in the shop. Hold the record at eye level and sight along it. Warps that look minor at home look obvious in the store.
• Check for box sets. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
• Check the turntable section. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• Handle records properly in the shop. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
