Disques Beatnick

Beatnick is a multi-format browse on Saint-Denis, with new and used records, CDs and tapes spread across a selection that reaches beyond classic rock. Jazz, soul and French-language music give other reasons to keep looking. The shop’s layout includes more than the first room, so a quick glance at the front does not account for all the stock. It pairs naturally with Atom Heart near Sherbrooke while serving a different shopping list. One stop can focus on current independent and electronic releases; the other can take a longer pass through established catalogues and used copies.

New and used vinyl, CDs and cassettes, including rock, jazz, soul, francophone music and other genres. Compare the condition and edition of used items rather than treating every copy of a title as equivalent.

3770 rue Saint-Denis, near avenue des Pins and north of Sherbrooke. Atom Heart at 364 Sherbrooke Est can be combined with this visit before continuing farther into the Plateau.

Take a look beyond the front section before deciding what the store carries. If a particular release matters, ask about the CD as well as the LP; this shop supports both searches.
