Little Five Points, Atlanta GA
Atlanta’s Little Five Points is home to @CriminalRecords, an independent record store that has become something of an institution. Although the inventory leans toward independent rock, there are decent selections of most genres, and a fair amount of vinyl. Pay them a visit in person, or online at http://criminalatl.com/Home, http://www.facebook.com/criminalrecordsatl or https://twitter.com/criminalrecords.
Decatur CD: What A Record Store Should Be
For years I somehow missed @DecaturCD. I thought of it as an indie rock store, and I wasn’t wrong, but I was wrong. They have a great selection of indie rock, but that’s only the beginning. Add to that the best selection of jazz discs in Atlanta, and decent sections for soul, blues, Louisiana music, folk and reggae. Then imagine a decent selection of vinyl. Fans of the super-cool reissue label Numero will be pleased to find a complete stock of Numero releases in a special section in the store. Of course if you don’t live in Atlanta or get there frequently, you may feel disappointed, but don’t, because Decatur CD cheerfully accepts orders over the phone, and ships anywhere in the world. This is truthfully one of the best record stores in the South, if not the whole country.
