Pretty much the four main record stores in Vancouver are:

1. Basixx, on hastings
2. FF, on Granville
3. Boomtown , just off davie
4. Virgin MegaStore , on Robson near Granville

Bassix and Boomtown are pretty much the best. There stock is always updated and they clear out older stuff. FF isnt that great, I dont think I have ever bought a record there. Virgin is my favorite. You cant listen to the records because there new but they Have TONS of new stuff and a kickass selection of trance. I buy records everytime I go into that store. Make sure you have alot of patience though as they have lots of records but they arnt catagorized by music genre only by alphebetical order.

what have you been able to find in virgin?? the only thing i managed to find was what it feels like for a girl....

If you guys don't live too far from New West, I would suggest Hypnotik Records. They have a great selection of trance. I have never left there empty handed.

both Otis records od Davie,,,,,,

Well, i checked out Bassix and Virgin today. I ended up buying about 10 vinyls. Bassix had a pretty small selection of trance, but some good ones hidden in there. Virgin had an even smaller trance section, but if you go to the other rack that says "pop/rock/vinyls", you'll still find lots more trance in there. Right underneath that sign, i found: Tiesto, Ayla, Blank & Jones, Faithless, Nostrum, and alot more. So there are good records at both these stores, you just have to be willing to spend a while searching for a good one. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check out the rest of those stores this week sometime and let you guys know what i thought.

Oh ya, also found a bunch of PvD and Dumonde

insom, what time were you there? were you the dude with the skateboard? i was the chinese guy w/ backpack, black tshirt. about 4pm hahahahaha
i got to virgin and flipped out at the huge selection, everything they had, i got 15 vinyls even tho i cant afford to buy right now. didnt see the ayla. got a lot of lange and lost witness stuff, the B&J, faithless, thrillseekers - SYNAESTHESIA!!!!!!!!, some krap house mix of voodoo..

they have some great trance, prog, some cheese, i went thru the whoel thing in like 15 minutes just shuffling
anyways that's friggin awesome, the clerks were like surprised i bought so much stuff, saying no one ever does buy much vinyl.

but at bassix, i cant find jack diddly for trance. maybe its diff now, but seriously? anything good? nah. tidy trax, nukeleuz, and if you're lucky maybe 1 or 2 good records. i dont think they're very good

sorry for long post
