shenanigans Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Discogs launched Vinylhub - a crowdsourced map of the world's record stores. Lots of news articles about it popping up. Might save some of the "What record stores are in ____?" questions around here. https://www.vinylhub.com/ Darnoc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrocks Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 very interesting map. The UK has almost as many record stores than the US? (1815 to 1950ish) 30! record stores in the African continent, of which only 6! are outside of South Africa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Wouldn't it be amazing to dig in a place like Africa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll add that feature at some point. Everything's gotta start somewhere. 27 minutes ago, shamrocks said: very interesting map. The UK has almost as many record stores than the US?

It's crowdsourced so it's not necessarily a complete list and could be based on where users are located. 21 minutes ago, somethingvinyl said: Wouldn't it be amazing to dig in a place like Africa? I went to grad school with a guy from Congo and his dad was a big jazz fan. They'd always bring back records from their trips that they got for super cheap but are way expensive here.

There are listings for stores that have closed within the last 2 years, so sounds possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU818 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Searching my email VinylHub comes up in Discogs newsletters at least as far back as July 2016. Not sure why the big press push is happening this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
