A
Sikora’s Classical Records
Sikora’s blows away the classical inventory of mainstream music stores with its giant list of CD/DVD titles, plus hundreds of LPs for all those traditionalists out there. Opera, organ, choral, chamber and early music are represented, and there’s a section devoted to Canadian musicians. The staff are highly knowledgeable and can point you to a hot Mahler or Rachmaninov recording at the drop of a hat.

Scratch Records
Initially a tiny specialist record store, Scratch has expanded over the past 20 years to become a record label, concert promoter and international distributor. But the store remains, its bins packed with 99% independent labels, obscure releases and vinyl that the staff know intimately.

Zulu Records
Routinely voted Vancouver’s best indie music store, visiting musos can happily spend a rainy afternoon here sifting the racks of new and used vinyl and hard-to-find imports. Check out any of the 30,000 titles at the sweet listening booths with retro chairs.
