Rotate ThisRotate This is Toronto's indie record store archetype (the vinyl copy of the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack on the wall is almost too obvious). They carried vinyl long before vinyl's unexpected comeback, back in the days when used record shops were the clearinghouse for the churn passing through aging hipsters' and rock critics' personal collections. The selection is eclectic - lots of jazz and blues, African funk and punk of every era, but it's also the place to go for the vinyl version of the latest by The Walkmen or The Vaselines.

Criminal is without a doubt the worst record store in the city with the worst selection of records.

I absolutely agree with Josh. The guy Brian is utterly rude and I frankly would not miss his store closing down. He was utterly rude, stuck up and unhelpful. Maybe it helps him sleep at night, but in the end its just another store with a jerk.
