Taz has been old school since old school was pre-school. This stalwart of the Halifax record store scene is all about the music (not about room to move, y’understand). If your tastes run to R&B and soul and British invasion you really couldn’t ask for better. And if it’s vinyl you’re after, Taz is simply an embarrassment of riches. Serving up gruff with a side of gruff, Taz Records owner Bob Switzer is a big softie at heart where music is concerned. This year Coast readers say: Taz is the record store lover’s record store. 1588 Argyle Street, 422-5976
Runner-up: CD Plus
