 Mystery Train Records
21 Main St.
Located on North Pleasant Street in downtown Amherst, Mystery Train Records is like a breath of fresh air for any music junkie. Hand-drawn labels mark stacks upon stacks of vinyl, video, tapes and CDs, and random assortments of paraphernalia like various copies of “Frampton Comes Alive!” line the walls. Bookshelves stand here and there, housing old, used and fairly obscure books. Mystery Train Records’ relative disorganization makes it hard to find something specific, but the shop is great for anyone just browsing for something new and unique. -- Stephanie McPherson
 Turn it Up! Records
5 Pleasant St.
Less of a store and more of an open marketplace, Turn It Up! Records in Northampton is any music fanatic’s dream. Stocked with a wide selection of new and used music available in formats ranging from vinyl to digital downloads, as well as a friendly, knowledgeable staff, Turn It Up! is sure to have something to satisfy any musical taste.
Winner of numerous “Best of the Pioneer Valley” awards, Turn It Up! Records is one of the few remaining establishments that keeps the true essence of the locally run record shop alive and kicking. -- Brian Wood
 Sid Vintage

Sunday, Monday 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Need a new vintage tee? How about a pair of go-go boots? Sid Vintage is where you’ll find it. They sell everything from $10 shirts to collectable vintage Prada shoes. The shop’s vintage boot and shoe selection is unrivaled by all stores in the Pioneer Valley. Sid Vintage has catered to the local rock ‘n’ roll and art scenes for almost four years now, and with its vast selection, the store is still going strong. -- Andrea Murray
