    I recently moved to Buffalo from Seattle and have been checking out the local record shops. I was…read morestarting to feel a bit underwhelmed until I visited this spot! Large selection. Well organized. Good prices. (I'm especially into soundtracks, and this place has an impressive collection of used soundtracks.) This is my new favorite local record shop!

    This is officially my favorite record store in Buffalo. The owner, Wayne, is such a genuine guy and…read morewill ask if you need any help looking for something specific the moment you walk in the door. And if you stick around browsing long enough, he'll tell you incredible stories about famous musicians and his friends in the business. The atmosphere in his store is like no other. Wayne takes pride in the memorabilia he has on the walls and shelves, as he should! Each piece he collects has a story that's worth hearing. The walls are covered in artwork by local artists, concert posters of famous bands who performed locally, and some really fun stuff too, like a drawing by Bono that his friend gave him! Cool Beat has an awesome collection of vinyl. Both new and old and all different genres. The store is super organized and every artist/ record was easy to find. Wayne is always working on getting new music in so always check back in from time to time to find something new. He also sells cds, 45s, posters, and other retro Buffalo/ music related items. His store seriously has a great collection and his prices are extremely fair in comparison to other record stores in the area. He also has a stamp card to get $5 off when you spend $50. All in all, Cool Beat is hands down the best place to come if you truly appreciate music and want to support local business.

    Fantastic CD selection and mostly reasonable prices. I could have spent hours in this place. Has…read morean OK selection of vinyl. This is a small store, but don't let that fool you. To get a huge, huge selection of CDs in this little store, the CDs and artwork have been removed from the jewel cases and put in plastic envelopes. When you buy a CD, the artwork and CD will be put back in a jewel case if you want. In my case, I was travelling and had no room left in my suitcase. Without the jewel cases, I was able to stuff over 20 CDs in my suitcase (and I have plenty at home). The selection is incredible with a wide range of rock music. Lots of rare stuff that I don't see in other stores. Most of the CDs are either $5 or $10. I ended up with over 20 discs for $85. Some of it was stuff that I had been looking for and others were albums I didn't know existed. There is a huge selection of heavy/death metal (but that was not what I wanted). There is progressive rock and jam bands. There is straight ahead rock. The jazz selection is pretty small. We were driving from Niagara Falls to the Buffalo airport and this was just 5 minutes out of the way. I would have spent more time in the store and probably found more CDs to buy if my wife wasn't outside texting me when I would be done. I never buy this many CDs when I visit a record store, even something like Amoeba Records in Hollywood which is one of the biggest record stores in the US.

    Great selection of used vinyl and reasonably priced cd's. I love everything arranged in…read morealphabetical order instead of categories. Worth a trip if you are in the area.
