Analog Underground — Attraction in Providence

We were in RI for a couple of days and spent an afternoon hopping around a few record stores. Analog Underground was our favorite stop. This isn’t an overwhelming selection of vinyl, but rather was quality over quantity. You could tell it was a deliberately curated collection and within a few minutes I was already carrying around a stack. My wife found some gems in the CD rack and they had probably the best bargain bin I’ve ever seen.

The owner Dave was great to talk to. We came in about a half hour before closing and I asked him for a few records I was hoping to find, and he went and dug around in the back to see if he had what I was looking for (we ended up walking out of there with a few more records than expected).
