Rare-Vinyl Shops Span Five States
Five standout U.S. record stores offer far more than a quick stop for music fans: Seattle’s Silver Platters, Farmers Branch’s Josey Records, Daytona Beach’s Atlantic Sounds, Birmingham’s Seasick Records and Denver’s Twist & Shout are known for expansive selections and browsing-friendly atmospheres. Their appeal ranges from Josey Records’ vast inventory and Atlantic Sounds’ vinyl-focused collection to Seasick’s buy-sell-trade model and in-store barbershop, while Silver Platters and Twist & Shout pair deep music selections with inviting spaces that encourage customers to linger.
