    I love a good record store. While in Ottawa, my friend and I were fortunate to visit two record…read morestores. The Record Centre was one of them. Well, my numbering is a bit off. No, it's not that I can't count. It's the fact that The Record Centre has two locations. It's weird. I saw two Canada Post offices across from each other downtown. We have a similar situation here. This Yelp listing is for The Record Centre. Its address is 1099 Wellington Street West. We crossed the street at some stage during our walking tour and discovered The Record Centre Too at 1112 Wellington Street West. There is no listing to the latter because Yelp moderators rejected my friend's listing for the smaller store (ugh!), so you're getting both reviews here. We went into The Record Centre Too first. It's the smaller store out of the two. The name is cute. I couldn't tell you why there are two locations with the same owners. The smaller store had records, CDs, cassettes, and 8-track tapes. I love these media types. Sadly, the selection was slim. I frankly didn't enjoy the smaller store because it was tiny and packed with music enthusiasts. Perhaps if there weren't so many people, I would have enjoyed browsing. This smaller store had a top floor that was for employees only. It was an interesting setup, almost as if half the store was for storage, and it was decided to open the lower floor for music merchandise. The larger store across the street had more records and selection. You will not find CDs, cassettes, or 8-track tapes here, though. You need to cross the street. Imagine if you are looking for a specific media format and you visit the larger store. You ask for help and are told to go to the smaller store across the street, which won't guarantee that you'll find what you're looking for. From a customer perspective, it's not the most convenient and pleasant setup. It is mainly why I lost my enthusiasm looking at new and used music at both locations. It is rare for me to feel this way. I didn't experience a relaxing space for me to browse albums at either location. It's huge for me, as I am the type who can spend hours at a music store. Instead, I wanted to leave both stores as quickly as possible. You can also get record players and other accessories, such as a record adapter for 45 RPM records, at the larger store. I wouldn't know if you can at the smaller store. I'd say no because it was too tiny. I had a better experience at Vertigo Records. One store. Everything in it. Lots of happy album browsing. I'm not sure if I'd return here. If I do, I hope that it's not as crowded. (291)

    This listing is for the main store, called "The Record Centre" at 1099 Wellington St West; they…read morehave a smaller supplemental store at 1112 Wellington St West called "The Record Centre Too." Cute name, eh? Anyway, on a recent outing with a friend of mine, we visited both stores. Since the smaller "The Record Centre Too" store didn't have a listing on Yelp, I created one. They are physically different stores on opposite sides of the street. However, the Yelp Moderators merged it with this listing. So some of my posted pictures are of the smaller store. I have indicated so in the photo captions. Both "The Record Store" and "The Record Store Too" are owned by the same folks. I will review both here. The main store is much bigger. It has a good selection of records as well as record players. They have a lot of brand new still sealed records too. No CDs, cassettes or 8 track tapes. If you're looking for these, you need to go to their smaller location. The smaller location has records as well, but less selection. The smaller location has a lot of space that is reserved for employees only. It's like a storage area. The space that's open to the public is very small so it gets very crowded if there's more than 3 customers in the store. It's much more enjoyable to browse at the main location. Street parking only.

Easy to get to and despite being on a busy street I can always find parking. I also found when I was looking for a couple of records I could call and as long as they weren't really busy they could answer questions about a couple of records I was looking for. But don't deny yourself the pleasure of browsing in this store!

    My friend and I visited two different record stores on two different days. This one was in the…read moreGlebe. Out of the two, this one, Vertigo Records, was my favourite. This store has used records (vinyl for those who weren't around when records were hip the first time), CDs, cassette tapes, posters, and more. The selection of used and new music was decent. I'd say that roughly 70% of the collection is used and in great condition. I could have spent a good hour here, at least. I love browsing and finding albums or music that I don't have. I wanted to return, but I couldn't squeeze it in. It meant that my vacation was pretty good. The variety of genres was terrific. I saw everything from Belinda Carlisle to George Burns. No joke! You can get comedy records here. A mark of a good music store is whether I can find an album that I don't have. I love my music collection, but it's far from being complete. I doubt that it will ever be, which makes my frequenting music store even more worthwhile! I found Depeche Mode's People Are People album on CD. I oddly don't own it. I do now. This CD was going for $6.99. It's pretty good considering that this album came out in 1984 and I had not heard of this band back then. As a side node, Depeche Mode doesn't perform the first track off this album, "People Are People," in concert. I don't know why, as its message back then is relevant today. However, the band plays the last song on the album, "Everything Counts," at all live concerts. It's guaranteed. You can get albums for $1 here. It requires some time and patience to go through bins of hidden gems. Stopping here before I headed home would have been perfect because carefully moving records in a car is ideal. When I travel, I don't buy records. They are so fragile that I'd likely carry them on the plane and care for them like a little baby. There were two staff member at the counter. They were nice. I paid with a debit card. I tapped and was good. I had a bag with me, so I placed the CD in there. I thanked them and happily left with my purchase. I have played this album a few times since returning home and reuniting with my CD player. The CD is in excellent condition. I like this music store. I look forward to hibernating here next time.
