Record digging tips for St. Albert

Digging in St. Albert? A few habits pay off:

• Ask the staff what's new at Sunrise Records. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Visit on restock days at Record Collectors Paradise. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.
• Don't overlook cassettes and CDs. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
• Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
