  • Make sure you do your research before shopping here. Since reissues are a considerable chunk of this store's inventory, you might come across several different versions of the same album beside one another in the bins. A dodgy 4 Men With Beards reissue that is essentially a ripped CD pressed to vinyl is not the same as a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressing, sourced from original master tapes. New Music Matters Blue Note reissues will sit with 75th anniversary reissues and WaxTime bootlegs, and it will be up to the customer to determine why the pricing is what it is and which releases are legitimate. This kind of thing isn't particular to Sonic Boom, but because of its size, you will come across this more often than a smaller store. Know what you are getting yourself into! Having said that, I will agree that prices on new records here skew a few dollars more than other stores in the city. This is perhaps the cost of long operating hours and a giant space on Spadina with lots of staff. Used records cycle through with considerable frequency, so stopping by the new arrivals regularly is encouraged. Sometimes you can find great things at about average prices. Be sure to check the condition code on used vinyl and don't be afraid to take the record out and have a look. Records are only visually graded and there is always the possibility of a hidden skip or groove wear. There are turntables to have a quick listen just to be sure. Prices are non-negotiable even if you decide the grading of a record has been inflated. No discounts from paying by cash here. Don't expect top dollar for your records if you are selling. They don't have a transparent buying-to-selling price ratio like other stores do, but it is certainly well below 50%. I will say, however, that if you have less than VG+ records by popular artists, Sonic Boom is one of the few places that will take them off your hands for a dollar or two. I can't really comment on the level of service here, as I prefer to be left alone, but you won't be constantly asked if you need help with anything. Much respect for that.
