Sonorama

Sonorama adds a different set of shelves to the Bernard Street route. The shop identifies rock, jazz, soul, funk, disco, francophone and international music among its strengths, with cassettes and vintage music magazines extending the browse beyond vinyl. New releases and reissues share the picture with records arriving through collection buying. If you have a specific gap to fill, the shop accepts want lists and special-order enquiries. If you do not, the magazine selection offers another way into the music: reviews, advertisements and interviews from when some of those records were new.

Vinyl and cassettes, new releases and reissues, used records and vintage music magazines. Soul, funk, disco, jazz and francophone music are explicit specialities.

Sonorama invites record-selling enquiries by email, phone or in person for an estimate. Contact the shop before transporting a large collection, and describe the main titles and condition.

260 rue Bernard Ouest in Mile End, close to Phonopolis at 207. La Rama is farther east on the same street. Keep Bernard Ouest in the address; the east/west suffix matters.

Send a focused want list if one pressing is driving the visit. The special-order option is more useful with an artist, title and edition than a general request for something rare.
