Iko's Music Trade has been York's crate-digging headquarters since 1991, and it wears those decades well — a proper record store where vinyl and CDs get bought, sold, and traded by people who actually know the catalog. It leans heavy on new releases and a deep jazz section, but the joy is in the dig: flipping bins until something you weren't looking for grabs you. This is the analog antidote to algorithm-picked playlists — no shuffle, no "recommended for you," just racks and time. Bring the records you're done with to trade, or just come to browse on East Market Street and walk out with something physical for once. Thirty-plus years in, it's still the real deal.
