Mississippi Records

Mississippi Records sits in a low-slung storefront on N Albina Ave, and the stock reflects the shop's other life as a reissue label: heavy on jazz, reggae, African, and world music pressings, the kind of records that don't show up in bins at most Portland shops. The site's own listings run through Ethiopian wedding songs, Malian guitar, dub, and out-of-print jazz alongside a Bandcamp and merch operation tied to the label side of the business.

The shop buys and trades records and collections directly, carries both new and used vinyl plus CDs, and takes online orders with shipping for anyone not local. They also host in-store events on a regular basis. Pricing across the catalog stays reasonable rather than boutique, and the overall feel is unpretentious for a shop with this deep a specialist reputation.
