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!

The staff were really helpful up until the point after i paid, spent almost 300$ in a used vinyl…read moreand it was shipped to me in a most inappropriate way, causing the album jacket to split, either they dont know how to ship vinyl properly or they dont care, and im going with they dont care cause they already got my money, i sent them a message on there website and i was just ignored, if you purchase vinyl from here be wary it will probably show up damaged

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.

I loved this place to shop for books. However, I had a recent experience that put me off…read more I came to sell about 50 books that are in very good condition and quite popular, but most were turned down. Even when I said I wasn't necessarily looking to make money, just donate to a place I like, they told me that taking my books would "burden" them... Even though that's what this place is for, selling and buying used books! I went to a bookstore further up Mont-Royal who took them. I certainly understand that they couldn't take all of them depending on the value, but it was really their dismissive and quite rude attitude that took me off guard. Not sure I'll shop there again, unfortunately.

I recently checked out LEchange during my first visit to Montreal. It wasn't on my initial wishlist…read moreof places to check out, but noticed it driving through the city. My review is really based on vinyl records as that's what lured me in. The shop is very clean and neatly organized. They had some nice new arrivals plus several bins of rock, jazz, classical, and whatever else in between. I found one record I wanted, but a few others I already had that I otherwise would have grabbed. Prices were pretty fair. They also carried CDs, but no cassettes. Of course they have lots of books and nice area to sit and relax. Cool spot worth checking out for a little browsing.

This location doesn't sell any instruments. It's a good bookstore, they have a nice balance of…read moregifts (toys, puzzles, candy,etc), DVD's, CD's, and books (french and english). I like to browse while I'm waiting for my bus. It's never too bust unless people are coming out of a show. They don't have deals on the english books or toys but they do on most everything else (mainly CD's and DVD's though). I really like this location because I'm familiar with it and when I receive a gift card as a gift, it's the best location.

Beautiful new record shop on a stretch of Bernard that now boasts 3 excellent, different vinyl…read moredestinations!! Pop in and say HI to the friendly, non-record-snob owner Kris Guilty (formerly of Death of Vinyl) who is slowly setting up and filling the spot with love. There are amazing finds here already for DJs and people who love music, and a couple sweet little listening stations, and even a small café getting set up in the back. I can't wait to go back often, enjoy the comfortable vibe and find some new music to take home and love.

Grabbed some hard(ish) to find records at a great price and some very generously priced used records. Returned later in the week to see if a new release had come in, which it hadn't, so the owner recommended other close by record stores to check out to see if they had received any copies yet - so nice!

Worst record experience in 25 years of collecting. Went check some records they had listed online…read moreat their shop, the person responsible of that was obviously completely stranger to the record world. First while I was checking the records (like 50 of them, I was planning of getting a lot), he stand behind my back the whole time making me feel pressured. I mentioned him that most of the records were warped, he didn't even know what that meant!!! And he couldn't care less. I asked if he played/checked them, and he gave me attitude. There is no turntable in the shop (in a record shop, sure, what for?), so I could only check the records with the naked eye, and as you know it sometimes hard to tell how badly warped it is until you actually play it. Turned out there was some bad ones once I played them. The next day I call him explaining him, asking him if he could take back the worse ones, for a refund or even a store credit, he he didn't want hear anything, not even for credit?! Then he complained again that I checked the records and that nobody forced me to buy them; worse argument for someone who doesn't have a record player around. We're talking about $100 records here, for a total of several hundreds. I wanted to return half of them, so it's a huge loss for me. Never judge a book by its cover? My ass! This douchey hipster probably spend more time at the gym and at those barber shops than in a shows or record conventions (None of my business but I don't understand why gay man won't come out of the closet nowadays, it's 2020, live your life buddy!). On block away west there is Aux 33 tours records store who will offer more references for better prices and WAY better customer service.
