I like Mississippi Records, but Jackpot isn't my thang.
If you like to dig, Crossroads and Tomorrow Records are fun. Little Axe can be cool, but the prices are high and the punk collection is tiny.

my favorite punk record store is Landfill Rescue Unit.
Tomorrow I have found a bunch of budget punk singles at budget prices. Mississippi prices can't be beat

Mississippi is great. I like My Vinyl Underground for used CDs and indie pop stuff. Music Millennium is surprisingly good because they seem to order one copy of every single new release.

I miss the Scott era of Exiled.

    Mississippi and Little Axe are two of my favourite stores ever (Exiled used to be too). Crossroads would be the best record store in almost every other city. Can easily spend a whole day there and not get through everything. Landfill, Tomorrow, Clinton St also great. Portland's gotta be one of the best record store cities in the US.

    Scott's Exiled was, if not my most favorite, somewhere in the 1-3 range of all time. Stocked great shit and constantly got in incredible shit. Priced to buy. That storefront still sitting empty now? Plus, he is an endless dude, as they used to say.

    I'd have to find that old map he used to put out of the record stores but there was one around 33rd & Belmont that was like Caudillo & Finch or the two dudes names and it was almost all $2 records with a very few "wall records". anyone remember that one? i got an og copy of Music Machine Talk Talk for $5. Weird store model.

    Will just chime in to agree that Scott era Exiled was amazing.

    Only been to little axe, but I thought it was a killer store. Funny enough, got some rare ish Canadian stuff for real good prices

    Crossroads is my favorite- but it's definitely an overwhelming place (you will be there all day, even if that wasn't the plan!) Lost Avenue Books on Martin Luther King has a small but great selection of records- pretty much all original issues, and cheap!!

    DJ Alice Wonder Portland needs a Total Punk Record store........

    a friend of mine and I are working on buying a large collection and will hopefully be doing a big pop up once that happens

        filthqueen666 I love funk and soul, so I’ll definitely have to check this one out.

          Used to work at Q Is For Choir and Anthem, but Discourage and Crossroads were my regular spots.

            R.I.P. Green Noise (physical location)

            Forgot about this shop! I bought a Crudos (cardboard sleeve ) LP there for 2 bucks and a Chaos in Europe for 8 in 2004!

                Discourage was cool. Is he still around?

                And was Green Noise at one point just called Dirtnap? I think so, but can't remember for sure. I know it moved a bunch but I liked that location on Clinton St. Ken is so nice.

                  jeff g And was Green Noise at one point just called Dirtnap?

                  Never called Dirtnap. It was first opened by Ryder Green in Eugene, then he moved to Portland and sold it to Ken Dirtnap. Ken also operated a Green Noise label imprint for a while, but there was never a Dirtnap store.

                      I heard space @ Lloyd Center Mall is cheap. Some friends did a quixotic Halloween museum there for a few months last year.

                      Total Mall Punk Records???

                          Nathan Loud There was a record shop at Lloyd Center for a couple or three months, but it bit the dust. Will anyone else step up?
