Techniques Records (contact shop owner Winston Riley, 9 a.m.–7 p.m. Mon.–Sat.) has what is perhaps Kingston's best selection for all kinds of traditional music and oldies, with LPs, 33s, and 45s, as well as the latest singles and CDs.

Rockers International Records (9 a.m.–4 p.m. Mon.–Sat.) specializes in reggae, and has CDs and LPs, 33s, and 45s, with the latest domestic singles and imports.

Best Buds (9 a.m.–6 p.m. Mon.–Sat.) must be one of the few stores on the planet to sell plants, floral arrangements, and all kinds of domestic and imported CDs, but no vinyl.

Sonic Sounds Record Manufacturing Company run by Jason Lee, sells vintage reggae on vinyl, including 33s and 45s. Customers must buy a minimum of three of each item. Sonic no longer distributes. It was founded in 1978 by Jason's father, Neville Lee, brother of Byron Lee, who was front man for Byron Lee and the Dragonaires until his death in 2008.
