What counts as a record store in Porto-Novo

A shop whose main business is selling recorded music on physical formats: new vinyl, used vinyl, or both. That covers independents and the specialists. What doesn't count: the vinyl wall at the lifestyle chain, and online-only sellers. The bar is a real shop with real bins to dig.

Porto-Novo sits near the equator. There's no real off-season for digging here, so shops restock on their own rhythms — ask when new used stock hits the floor.

When record shops in Porto-Novo get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Digging smarts for Porto-Novo

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

• Bring a want-list. Write down what you're hunting. Digging is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
• Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.
• Handle records properly in the shop. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
