Record stores in Port Coquitlam

Record shops reward the patient digger. Port Coquitlam, British Columbia has 2 mapped right now. That's 2 record shops mapped around Port Coquitlam.

Record digging tips for Port Coquitlam

How the regulars work Port Coquitlam's bins:

• Handle records properly in the shop at Apollo Music. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
• Check for warps in the shop at Sunrise Records. Hold the record at eye level and sight along it. Warps that look minor at home look obvious in the store.
• Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
• The listening station is the test. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.

Good to know

We searched about 12 km around Port Coquitlam — 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 Port Coquitlam can take a while to appear. The 2 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 2 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.
