Miami's outpost of the famous Bronx spot is harmonious heaven for vinyl enthusiasts. They're all about used records - dance music in particular. You can find all things reggae, soul, hip hop, Latin and everything else on 12 inches. Run by world-renowned record dealer King George, this is where the city's best DJs scoop up one-of-a-kind finds. Tucked away in a strip mall, it can be a challenge to find. But it'll be worth the effort when you score a musical treasure.
In the era of laptop jocks and blog house, there's still a place for those addicted to vinyl: in north-central Miami. Super Soul Records, the down-South outpost of the legendary Bronx shop of the same name, quietly deals out the doses. Open since May of last year, it's run by George Johnson, a.k.a.

It carries only used records and specializes in all forms of dance music — meaning anything with funky bass, from reggae to hip-hop to soul to Latin.

Recent finds have included 12-inch singles by hip-hop legends Mobb Deep and Jungle Brothers for just $3 a pop, and a 45 by vintage reggae hero Byron Lee for $15. It's enough to drive a digital convert into a wax relapse. A tip: Call before you go; the small strip-mall/warehouse location is hard to spot from the road.
