Whether you’re into rock, funk, reggae, electronica, or something else entirely, Som Records has you covered. This popular DC record store runs the gamut of genres, offering used, new, rare, and imported vinyl in just about every style imaginable.

The owners permit buying, selling, and trading, and even offer some records via online auction, which leaves open the possibility that you could get a steal of a deal. Som Records also tends to keep a lot of locally-produced music in stock, so if you’re looking to build your collection of music performed by area artists, this might be a good place to start. Thanks to a user-friendly listening station, you can also spend some time getting familiar with any album you’re thinking about buying.
