About Sunrise Records
A name like Sunrise Records suggests a shop built around vinyl, and record shops have had a real resurgence as buying a pressing has become straightforward again rather than a hunt through basements and estate sales. The Kelowna store works from 2271 Harvey Avenue in the Dilworth area, one of a great many businesses operating out of the same large retail complex on the Harvey corridor.
A music shop earns its keep on the things a streaming account cannot do. Browsing is the obvious one, and so is the chance to ask someone behind the counter about a title before you commit to it. Stores in this line generally deal in the accessories that go with the format they carry, whether that means cables and cartridges for a turntable or cases and straps for something else, along with the odd bit of merchandise. If you are chasing something specific, ask about special orders and how long a title normally takes to arrive.
Shopping here tends to be a folded in trip rather than a dedicated one, since the building draws people for a dozen other reasons at once, and that is worth knowing if you prefer a quiet browse. Weekday afternoons in the shoulder seasons are calmer than a July Saturday, when the valley fills with visitors and the Harvey corridor moves slowly. You can reach the store at 250-980-1215, and the shopping centre keeps a page for it on the centre website. Parking at a site this size is plentiful, which is more than can be said for the downtown blocks near the lake.
