The prices are a little unpredictable, some things seemed way overpriced to me, yet other more unique and rare things seemed undervalued. So: lots of fun to look through, and some very high quality recordings, old, new, re-issues, and unique new vinyl. I only checked out classical and jazz, my loves, but the other sections seemed chock full and varied. Glad that stores like this still exist.

I was recently in Montreal so I made it a point to dig in nearly every record shop in town. Aux 33…read moreTours was pretty high on my list. The shop is located in a nice shopping and dining area of Mount Royal. The shop itself is very clean, well-lit, organized, easy to navigate. They had practically every genre with both new and used vinyl available. One of the biggest issues I had was the mixing of used and new records in the same bins. It just took longer too search through since I mainly was looking for used. Either way, I still walked away with some great stuff. Everything I looked at was in good shape. They had tons of new vinyl and reissues. Easily, the largest selection of new vinyl in Montreal. I also noticed tapes (fairly small) and CDs too. They also run a discogs account where some stuff on there may not be located on the main sales floor. The staff at the counter were friendly as well. I really liked Aux 33 Tours and would recommend checking it out!

My Montreal staple, first place I go when in town. Well second, I first get coffee. But this place…read moreis for sure second. I once got a skid row tape there in like 2015, but today I just dug around a little bit and found a Montreal doom metal album, and a Canadian press of Days of Future's Past. Sick. Great shop, great bunch of people working there, talking music. Have a lot of new vinyl as well. Some guy giving them low stars for parking, like maybe yelp the street instead.

Venus is an amazing record store. Best stock for house / techno / hip hop singles I've seen in…read moreMontreal--it's a real life discogs playground. Also has classic rock, pop, and disco but I didn't go through those genres. What impressed me was the density and quality of records, such a different experience than spots that are too picked over. Only thing it could benefit from would be maybe better organized stacks and a clerk who plays in the scene currently. Go get some records before the secret's out!

We've been here for years with a steady clientele of vinyl addicts we continue to increase the volume and titles we offer. We have a huge selection of new and used LPs, 45s, 12-inch. Dj super store

I love this place. This has to be the most welcoming and cool record shop I've ever been to…read more The guys that work here are super nice and really know their stuff. They have a decent selection of music, but I go mostly to get tickets for shows. They sell the tickets for less than any other place in the city, not charging any fees. A place you definitely have to check out in Montreal!

Remember that bit in HIGH FIDELITY when Jack Black kicks a customer out of his store for asking…read moreabout a popular record? Well, the exact thing happened to me at Atom Heart. The clerk piled some serious attitude right on me, while I was with my baby daughter no less, and kicked us out for having the audacity to ask about a top-forty album on vinyl. It's a nice shop, beautifully designed, but unfortunately the Omega-level rudeness and condescension means I'll no longer be buying either records or concert tickets from them. Luckily L'Oblique is only a brisk walk away.

Our favorite bookstore in NDG continues to hold that title. We brought some books in, donated what…read morethey wouldn't make use of, and spent far too long roaming and acquiring books. I'm always impressed by the variety. You see something new every time you go in because they offer such an impressive collection of items. We even got hockey cards for surprise gifts for family this time around! Some items are more expensive but we got an edition of The Wizard of Oz that was still wrapped and originally worth quite the pretty penny that we will be gifting to a loved one. It was an amazing experience once again today. For the first time, I think I spent more time looking at their prints and I wanted to buy nearly every Singin' In The Rain one... Hardy Boys galore... it was overall just a lot of fun to visit this store. We'll be back for our quarterly visit in no time.

If you live in the area and listen to vinyl records, you should come in here regularly…read more They have a section of newly acquired records, so once you've browsed their full catalogue thoroughly, it's easy to drop in whenever you're walking by and see what's new. They have lots of records for 5 bucks, which is something like an old movie rental price. Even if I only listen to something once, the experience is worth 5 bucks. They also have way more expensive records, like limited editions of Tom Waits or whatever, which occasionally run closer to a hundred. So there's a huge range, if you're looking to spending a tiny bit of pocket money, or if you're looking to make a major investment for your collection. They also have books. I honestly use the library for books more than buying them, but sometime when I'm in here for vinyls, something on the bookshelf catches my eye, and the prices are fair. It is packed, though. Sometimes where there are a lot of customers, it is very hard to move around and look for things. So much stuff in a such a small space is a double-edged sword. This 5-star review is for my visits outside of peak times, for the selection, service, and price. During peak times, maybe only worth 4 stars because it's so hard to navigate. But the popularity is a sign of the quality, so it's hard to quibble with that.

Don't expect to find the rarest treasures, but best bet is that you won't walk away empty handed. It's also got a decent, English used books section, which is a rarity in the Plateau. Friendly service, good music, and excellent prices. I would strongly recommend checking it out!

Came here the other night to watch the new redone documentary on The Clash with a buddy of mine…read morethough it wasn't my first time here. I came in two months ago to watch another documentary on EBM music with old-timers like Nitzer Ebb and Kraftwerk. Had a fantastic time on both occasions. BBAM! Gallery is turning out to be a great little creative space that is part record/vinyl store, art gallery and sometime art-house cinema showing Montreal-premieres of music oriented documentaries. I think the next one that's coming up that I'll probably attend is one on Paul Weller's bands, The Jam and The Style Council. Montreal used to have so many of these kinds of creative spaces but with skyrocketing rents and gentrification in almost all neighbourhoods, many of those spaces are disappearing all too quickly and there's only a handful left now and I think it's vital for the city to encourage keeping these kinds of independent spaces alive, where you can watch these great movies and get a glass of wine for $5, instead of another generic, sterile corporate space that charges you $20 per glass.

What a cool place, they have books, CDs, and musical instruments all in the same store! I could spend all day here! Prices are decent, not always the cheapest I'm sure, but not enough of a difference to have me drive to best buy instead to check cd prices... Musical gear seems to be pretty standard for pricing. The staff I've delt with over the last year do not spek English, at all. I've dealt wit 4 or 5 of them. That's cool though cause they speak music...works. If I need technical info I have to look up online before I come. That's the only inconvenience for me, but relly it's helping me get better at French anyways. As far as negotiating rices, they don't seem like that kind of place, but I'm not the one to be able to judge when I can barely scrape by communicating in French. All in all, a great place. I keep going back! Take Amex too.
