I am just north of the Motor City (Pontiac area) for two more days. Any suggestions for good used LP stores?

Thanks,

Go to Ann Arbor. Go to Encore, it's amazing. It may close this year. "No" new records!
If you get there early enough, you can hit PJ's, it's on the second floor of the tiniest little triangular block, it's easy to miss. If you are willing to move a box or two out of the way, he has a great collection of imported rock.
Also, Wazoo, upstairs, also sell CD's.

Don't know Detroit, but if you have a car, these are worthwhile!

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier… but for future reference… Been travelling to Troy MI regularly for a few months now and have managed to hit a few:

1. Encore - I listened to the Biz and as Paul stated it's a pretty sweet place... for the collegetown atmosphere as well as scads of used vinyl and CDs.

2. Flipside Music – Nice place / nice people, not the greatest selection but good quality at good prices.

3. Record Graveyard – rock selection a little thin but high volume of jazz and blues here

4. Dearborn Music – Not a huge used rock selection, but everything was in great shape. Large selection of new vinyl, tons of new and used CDs, also lots of DVDs, tshirts, misc.

5. The Record Collector – medium size but very solid rock selection; loads of used CDs. Cool little town.

Next up is People's Records and Street Corner Music…. but I may need to curb the collecting ; with all the travelling I’ve no time to clean and enjoy them!
