This isn’t a treatise on the vinyl revival, that’s been written before. With the recent flood of reissues and brand-new vinyl on sale at airports and Urban Outfitters, record stores can feel quaint-what was once a thrilling hunt for rare finds is now a few clicks away on Discogs. And there’s my favorite, The Thing in Brooklyn, where it sometimes feels as if the head of A&R for Def Jam has dumped 30 years worth of promo 12″s into a cramped junk shop. There are the miles of stacks at Amoeba (the California-based independently-run music chain), crates to dig through at flea markets the world over-even Myanmar, the former pariah state just now treading towards democracy, opened its first record store in the capital of Yangon. From emporiums with vast caverns of dusty, disorganized stacks, to the slick, wooden-box shops, where carefully-curated bins of vinyl are perfectly positioned next to screen prints, the world has no shortage of diverse and amazing record shops.
