How Tender Loving Empire compares
Calculated across the 3,049 record shops we have profiled on the Keep Them Spinning Vinyl Radar.
Ratings alone do not tell you which crates are worth digging. We publish the ranking because it is the one thing a single shop listing cannot show you: where this place actually sits among the 30 we have catalogued in Portland.

Coming home with a stack?
The Vinyl Record Crate is the box that gets them home and keeps them there: solid paulownia, open top, 50–60 LPs. When the collection outgrows a crate, the Vinyl Modular is the system that stacks and keeps growing with it.
