Dead Dog Records Church

The Church Street branch is useful for record shopping on the eastern side of downtown, particularly for people who are buying CDs as well as vinyl. Dead Dog appears repeatedly in local CD recommendations, and its official catalogue still gives new and used discs their own space. This is a different itinerary choice from the Bloor shop: 568 Church Street places the visit in the Church-Wellesley area, rather than on the west-end record-store circuit. Choose the branch that fits the day, then confirm a specific title with that shop rather than assuming shared branding means identical shelves. The appeal is a straightforward multi-format browse without first travelling to Spadina or the Junction.

Vinyl and CDs, including new releases and secondhand stock. Exact used titles change, and a title visible online should not be assumed to sit at both Dead Dog locations.

568 Church Street in the Church-Wellesley area. Walk east from Yonge and Wellesley toward Church, then north to the shop.

Use this branch when the rest of the day is downtown or east of Yonge. For a CD-only trip, confirm a wanted title with the Church shop before treating the shared online catalogue as branch stock.
