Pure Pop Records — Since 1980, Burlington’s Pure Pop Records has reigned supreme as the city’s foremost place to acquire new music. Tucked away in a funky, subterranean spot, the shop feels almost trapped in time, like it was lifted out of a cult ’80s comedy. Customers love digging through its bountiful selection of the latest vinyl. If it’s a new release, Pure Pop is bound to have it in stock. Ditto for CDs and cassettes. Beyond fresh titles, you’ll find plenty of classic, used records, plus DVDs, Blu-rays, posters, pins, magazines and other music-related merch. Occasionally, the shop hosts listening parties for new releases and even DIY concerts. Don’t miss ’em.
