This is a guide to used record stores that specialize or include:
Rare funk, soul and jazz
Rare hip-hop
...and not a guide for record stores in the Bay Area writ-large. There's many fine stores that I'm not mentioning, such as Aquarius in S.F., but I'm focusing on used vinyl stores that would appeal to diggers. If your store isn't mentioned in here - email me and let me know. I might be sleeping.
