  • So...my first foray into Canada country, and what do I do? Buy records, of course! To be honest, I wasn't exactly planning on going crate diggin' since there was a lot more sight-seeing to be had. But I did some research before leaving the states, just in case we had time, and this store not only came highly-recommended, it was only a block from our hotel. So Kops definitely has that nice independently-owned feel, with rows and rows of vinyl goodness. Since it is a small shop, it does tend to get a little crowded when you need to squeeze by someone, but I would't have it any other way. I mean, I've been in "stores" where you could reach out your arms and touch both sides of the room! Moving on, the first floor had a lot of rock, jazz, and hip-hop, while upstairs was soundtracks and 45s. It was nice that they also had one listening station, which I used to test several potential purchases. Pricewise, they tended to be a little higher than some of my choice spots back home, but more or less on par with record stores in the heart of DC. I'm sure, like DC, rent doesn't come cheap in downtown Toronto, either. In terms of service, the two female record clerks on the first floor were very nice and reminded me of those cool record store chicks that I would see during my college daze. The older gentleman upstairs was also friendly and asked me if I needed help finding anything. I was like "I just need all the time in the world to go through all this awesomeness - that's it." But, unfortunately I had to leave to continue with our tour itinerary and did not have a chance to return. In the end, however, I was able to leave happy with a couple jazz records and an old REM record I had been looking for. I would be remiss not to mention that I had a slight issue with a manufacturing defect on one of the records. But the owner was very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. So kudos to Kops for that. You get my alliteration of approval. All in all, this positive experience contributed to making a very productive first trip to Toronto, and Canada, for that matter. Definitely looking forward to coming back next time.
