Inside Zulu Records, Kitsilano neighbourhood.

Zulu Records

Vancouver


Kitsilano's fave indie music store has downsized in recent years, but it's still easy to blow an afternoon here with the vinyl and CD nerds, flicking through the new, used and hard-to-find albums. It also sells local show tickets, while the knowledgeable staffers can point you to essential Vancouver recordings worth buying (ask for a copy of Last Call).
