Record digging tips for Red Deer

A few things worth knowing before you work through Red Deer's record stores:

• Handle records properly in the shop at Sunrise Records. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
• Genre-hop at HMV. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
• Check for box sets. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
• Sleeves matter for value. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
