Ready to get groovy, Richmond? Unplug the aux cord and dust off your mom’s old record player — we’ve rounded up seven River City record stores totally in tune with your impeccable taste.

Deep Groove Records, 317 N. Robinson St.

Plan 9 Music, 3017 W. Cary St.
If you haven’t had a chance to peruse the aisles of this Carytown favorite, be warned — it’s easy to accidentally idle away a whole day crate-digging.

Richmond’s only dedicated hardcore, punk, and metal record store moved downtown from Oregon Hill in 2022.

Records & Relics RVA, 2704 E. Marshall St.
Dig through some local LPs, flip through a few music books, and search through an extensive collection of posters, stickers, CDs, and more at this Church Hill store.

Wax Moon, 1310 Altamont Ave.
