Record digging tips for Tai'an

A few things worth knowing before you work through Tai'an's record stores:

• The listening station is the test at 金马KTV. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
• Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.
• Check the bargain wall rhythm. Shops restock the cheap sections on cycles. Ask when — that's when the fresh bargains land.
• Bring a want-list. Write down what you're hunting. Digging is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.

Good to know

We searched about 30 km around Tai'an — 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 Tai'an can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 1 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

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 1 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.
