More Globe And Mail mentions!
There was a little page on Main Street in the Globe And Mail Travel section mentioning the store …here is the link!
RED CAT RECORDS, 4307, AT EAST 27TH AVENUE It may be sandwiched - squished is a better word - between an Indian meat market and a kids’ clothing store. But this tiny shop is regularly voted one of the best record stores for alternative music in Vancouver.
You simply can’t find the albums and CDs they have anywhere else. Go to your local record store, for example, and see if they carry Vancouver ambient group Coin Gutter or Montreal’s Snailhouse.
And since Red Cat sells three times more vinyl to its terribly young, terribly hip customers than CDs (co-owner Lasse Lutick says it might be some kind of backlash against digital music), the store also stocks record players. Okay, it sells only one type, but it sells a lot of them. And the record player converts the records to MP3s as well.
