Black Gold Records

Under the warm lighting, digging is a solo affair; the staff is friendly but hands-off. The vinyl selection is small but solid, leaning toward rock, punk, and jazz, though you won't find much electronic or experimental music. Diggers can sift through the unsorted new arrivals crate. Antiques, memorabilia, and vintage t-shirts share the compact space. For drinks, the coffee setup is simple with no espresso machine. If you pick up one of the staff-made canvas bags, bringing it along on return visits gets you 10% off records.
