Record stores in Yaroslavl

Record shops reward the patient digger. Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl Oblast has 2 mapped right now. That's 2 record shops mapped around Yaroslavl. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Check the grading before you pay — a visual grade and a play grade are two different things.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Yaroslavl (within about 30 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Муза and Муза. If a record shop's missing from Yaroslavl's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Yaroslavl

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

• Handle records properly in the shop at Муза. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
• The listening station is the test at Муза. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
• Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
• Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.

Good to know

We searched about 30 km around Yaroslavl — 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 Yaroslavl can take a while to appear. The 2 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

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 2 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.
