Record digging tips for Yellow Springs

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

• Ask to play it at Toxic Beauty Records. Good shops have turntables for exactly this. If they won't let you listen, that's information too.
• The listening station is the test. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
• Buy the weird stuff. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
• Hit the new-arrivals bin first. That's where fresh stock lands before anyone else sees it. The good stuff rarely survives the week.
