Record digging tips for Punta del Este

How the regulars work Punta del Este's bins:

• Ask to play it at El Palacio de la Música. Good shops have turntables for exactly this. If they won't let you listen, that's information too.
• Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve at El Palacio de la Música. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
• Inspect the seams. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
• Check the bargain wall rhythm. Shops restock the cheap sections on cycles. Ask when — that's when the fresh bargains land.
