Keeping the classic record store format alive, the former Annex shop relocated to a beautiful 2 floor space on Spadina staffed by knowledgeable employees ranging from old school lifers to art school music nerds. Boasting the biggest selection of vinyl and used CDs in the city, people from all over come here to find everything from jazz vinyl and latest rock records to real indie stuff like obscure punk 7”s and new cassettes(!) by locals.
