Vinyl in Ottawa

Vertigo Records

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:02:28 -0400

Vertigo Records (193 Rideau) is easily the most swankily laid-out store in town, complete with faux retro audio equipment for sale and a mammoth vinyl collection of old and new material, including hip-hop and indie rock. The large space yields plenty of elbow room, but takes away from the charming clutter that most mom-and-pop stores offer. Used music is a tad pricy, but most of it is quality stuff.

Indie Rock, Punk Rock, HipHop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Garage, Reggae, Blues, Metal, Rock and other genres. Over 15,000 pieces in stock including Ottawa's best selection of new and used LPs.

Legend Records

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:53:33 -0400

The best place for finding any grammophone record is Legend Records. It's off downtown Ottawa, but at the collection there must be many German and Britsch immigritants for the 50-ies living nearby.

The shop is just known for having many records. The albums are reasonable sorted and displayed. Special off main stream records are stacked by topic; most of them behind sliding doors at the lower level bins.

CLOSED - Sounds Unlikely

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:58:25 -0400

Unfortunately, this store no longer exists...

Sounds Unlikely is a nice little music store off of Bank Street. They offer one of the most extensive collections of local and world music in Ottawa, and an impressive selection of indie-rock, new and used vinyl and many other niche genres that may be difficult to find across the city. Their new and used movie selection is filtered down to some great foreign, cult and independent titles. Unfortunately, the number of films is pretty small. Their staff is knowledgeable, as they are all members of the Ottawa music scene.

5 Arlington Avenue
Ottawa, ON K2P 1C1
(613) 565-1661

Rising from the ashes of Organized Sound and the second cousin to Shake Records, Sounds Unlikely fills a nice niche, having the best global, jazz and experimental sections in town. The address should sound familiar: It was the infamous home of Ottawa's nuttiest punk venue back in the day.
