It's not all that surprising that vinyl is making a comeback. Now that Third Man Records has opened their Vinyl Pressing Plant, Detroiters can even watch their vinyl being made in front of them. But if that's not your style, no worries. There are plenty of places around the city to dig through crates and find that hidden gem you've been looking for. Motown, R&B, techno ... it's all here.
Did we forget your favorite? Do you love a certain place in the suburbs? Is there a hidden spot we just haven't seen yet? Let us know in the comments or on the tip line. We've added a few more gems in Dearborn, Oak Park, Clawson, and Ferndale. Happy shopping!
Note: Stores are arranged geographically from west to east.
Open since 1956, Dearborn Music buys and sells vinyl, CDs, DVDs, and more and can find almost anything for you.
Third Man Records Vinyl Pressing Plant opened last year, so now you have the option of either purchasing what's in the store or waiting for fresh vinyl while you watch it being made.
