Record digging tips for Whanganui

Digging in Whanganui? A few habits pay off:

• Buy the weird stuff at Vinyl Room. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
• Note the shop's specialties. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
• Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
• 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 40 km around Whanganui — 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 Whanganui can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 1, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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.
