Located in a brightly colored building on Frenchmen Street (corner of Frenchmen St. & Decatur St.), LMF is one of the longest running record stores in New Orleans. LMF definitely has an old-school record store vibe to it - minus the old musty smell and w/ the modern day comfort of ac. Trust me when I say that you'll for sure want to spend hours at this local NOLA gem, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to visit. LMF has a huge inventory of vinyl records and cds (old and new - all genres, including a great assortment of local New Orleans music) that are neatly organized and reasonably priced. It also carries musical posters, books, and shirts. There is also a Yelp perk of getting $2 off a t-shirt when you check-in on Yelp. Lastly, shout-out to the LMF employees who were very helpful during our visit - very much appreciated! Till next time, Rebecca

They sell more than records. They sell everything music related, aside from the CD's, tapes, and videos. It's an experience. Aisles and aisles. I first walked around the vinyl. New releases are in the forefront. They are organized by category and location. New Orleans artists have a section dedicated all their own. There's an entire T-shirt section and children's section. Toys and games. It's the ultimate gift shop. There's a stage in the back where bands perform. A small brown piano can also be found there. My favorite is the old school ice cream counter with connected stools currently used to display record players and colorful paintings of famous musicians. Great spot for a selfie. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I was greeted at the door.

Peaches records is this great, old school, record shop located on Magazine Street. The moment you…read morewalk into it, it feels like you've gone into a record store from times gone past. I know, cause I've been around since the times gone past, and this business truly reminds me of the record stores I used to love to go into back in the day. What they offer here is a great selection of both new and used vinyl. That's the main reason I believe you should go in there--for those of you looking for that great piece of vinyl: new or used. They also have an excellent selection of CDs, for those of you who want to listen to your music from that medium. One of the fun things about this shop is that they also have some listening stations, if you wanna hear some music before you buy it. That's always fun. Plus, they have a lot of other stuff: T-shirts, memorabilia, and a little bit of everything else that you never knew you needed. So, you never know what you'll find here. One of the very fun things about this business is that they have the remains of a fully functioning soda fountain. The machines are still there. The counter is still there. As are the spinning seats. It's just a great step back to the past. Just one of those things if you want to grab a great selfie or a great photo for your IG, it's an excellent place to do it. Overall, this is a great place to get your music. It's a simple as that. It's one of those stores that you can go in there looking for something specific, and you know they will probably have it. Or, you can go in there just cruising the aisles, and you never know what you'll find. Overall, fun experience!

She paid him and he assured her that he'd ship it right away after he got it in. This was in mid-July 2026. After a month, I contacted the store for an update. He said he hadn't received it but said he'd update me when he got it. I never heard from him so I contacted the store again 3 times in Sept and never got a response once. I reached out again in Oct and he's clearly avoiding me. He had no problem in ripping off a 15 yr old kid...it'd be best to steer clear of this place. I plan on reporting him to the BBB.

It's a place selling records, most of which haven't been made in 30 years or more. It's like leaving a bad review for a used car dealership because they don't have the Ferrari you're looking for. The other guy was complaining about prices. I don't know where these folks are getting their information from. Although he was complaining about masks not being worn and we all see how that turned out. That being said, I think the place is terrific. There isn't anything else like it in Baton rouge. The place is in New Orleans have less of a selection and the prices are even more expensive. John, the owner, is very kind and polite. He goes out of his way to make sure folks are able to get the vinyls they want whenever he gets them. Again, it's not like he's ordering this stuff from a catalog of new goodies. It's all vintage stuff. I've purchased several records from him over the last year or so without any issue. In fact, I just left the store where I purchased another one. Staff is friendly. The selection is great for this type of store. Literally no issues here whatsoever. Swing by there and check it out yourself.
