Philadelphia Record Exchange

Philadelphia Record Exchange sits on Frankford Ave in Fishtown, a longtime stop in a neighborhood with several record shops within walking distance of each other. Reviewers consistently talk about digging through used and rare vinyl here, and the shop also buys, trades, and sells collections rather than just selling off the shelf.

Alongside vinyl, the bins extend into CDs and a smaller run of cassettes, and more than a few shoppers mention stumbling onto comics and toys tucked into the mix. Genre depth varies by section - one reviewer noted it's a "solid spot but not that many major names in jazz at least," suggesting rock and general crate-digging are the stronger draw over specialist jazz collecting.
