Downtown Royal Oak · Detroit
UHF Records
New releases, used vinyl and CDs on South Washington in Royal Oak.
Why it is worth visiting
UHF is the Royal Oak entry on a north-of-Detroit record run. The shop deals in new and used vinyl, with CDs and music-related stock extending the browse. Its South Washington address puts it in downtown Royal Oak, which is a more useful planning detail than the loose description ‘Detroit record store.’ The online seller inventory offers a way to check individual collectable titles before visiting. Leave room for the ordinary catalogue records too: a shop that carries both current releases and used stock can answer two quite different shopping lists in one visit.
What you will find
New and used vinyl, CDs and music-related merchandise. Online collector stock can help narrow a search; contact the shop to establish whether a particular copy is available in person.
Genre strengths: Rock
Getting there
512 South Washington Avenue in Royal Oak. Found Sound is in Ferndale and Flipside is in Berkley; all three belong to a metro itinerary, with travel between their downtown areas.
Local tips
Use the street number when checking the location and the catalogue number when checking a record. Both are more dependable than an old event flyer or a release title with several pressings.
Keep the music going
More music. More stories. A longer tour.
Field Notes
What Was Your First CD?
People forget plenty of purchases. Their first CD apparently isn’t one of them.
