Peterborough, ON has 3 record stores on the map. That's 3 record shops mapped around Peterborough. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Peterborough (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Bluestreak Records and Sunrise Records, plus Zap Records. If a record shop's missing from Peterborough's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Peterborough

How the regulars work Peterborough's bins:

• Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve at Bluestreak Records. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
• Check the bargain wall rhythm at Sunrise Records. Shops restock the cheap sections on cycles. Ask when — that's when the fresh bargains land.
• Check the turntable section. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• The dollar bin is honest work. Nobody's getting rich off the dollar bin, but the joy-per-dollar ratio is unbeatable. Flip through all of it.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Peterborough — 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 Peterborough can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 3 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

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 3 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.
