Pure Pop Records

My favorite record store. Great selection of new records, and the ability to order a ton more. They're pretty picky with what they take in used, but what they have is great. Not a place to hunt through a bunch of cheap used records if that's what you're looking for.

Pure Pop Records is a small independent record store at the intersection of College Street and South Winooski Avenue since 1981. They still carry cassette tapes, compact discs and vinyl records from almost every musical genres you can think of. If you don't see what you're looking for, don't go to online retailers yet. Just call or visit the store and they usually can special order it for you and you can pick it up in store in a few days as long as the item is still in print. They now offer online pre-orders on select new releases and you can pick up in store. They do participate in Record Store Day when exclusive limited edition releases hit the shelves.

I live in Montreal where we have several great record shops - still I've been shopping at Pure Pop Records since the 1980s. I've made some amazing finds there such as Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers on vinyl for under $20. Many times I've found exactly what I was looking for and for less than Discogs.

I always have such a fun time at Pure Pop Records!!! So much to see. Easily could spend a few hours searchung through the many cd's and vinly records! They have everything, even some fun collectors toys!
