Excellent resource for anyone looking to learn about record shops - either in their own area or while visiting a new town!
By Chris M.
Such a cool concept! Rather than just a list of stores, Mike goes in deep to research and even conduct insightful interviews with store owners and staff. Very helpful resource!

This is a refreshingly simple and clean website. It is easy to use. Cancels out all the noise and shows you the most relevant information. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Marisa - it was a genuine pleasure. A shop with Merle's history deserves to be found, and I'm glad I could help.
