Who sells a perfect copy of the Xanadu motion picture soundtrack? What's wrong with you? 2. Only the best record store on the entire west coast would know to buy a copy of the Xanadu motion picture soundtrack. And there you have it. Music Millennium is the best record store on the entire west coast. Oh sure, I have about 5,000 other reasons, but that's the most recent one. I've yet to pay a visit and walk out without buying at least 3-4 albums. Add the CDs, DVDs, and all manner of other music/movie-related goodness and this place is the gold standard.

The Christian artwork is simply breathtaking. I was tempted to purchase one of them but we decided to wait before making the purchase. I will go back in a few months and buy one of their pieces. The service staff is always super friendly and helpful. I can tell that they enjoy working for this establishment. The young woman that helped us told me about the sale Blink Artwork was having the following day. Most people only care about selling their products and don't want to refer you to an outside business. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely come back.!!!

Their rock/r&b section was pretty big but majority of the records were sorted by artist which made it easy to browse.

Prices are generally in line with what you'd find online, but if you catch one of their sales, you can score some great deals. The cashier was also incredibly friendly. Love my new tote bag!

When I got there he asked if I had a few minutes to kind of hang out Which I did and he fixed it and had my wedding video out within a half-hour I was so freaking happy I would absolutely go here again and I will always recommend this place to anyone who needs video games or consoles.

I bought what is probably a crappy little record player because I spend more time at home now and I…read morewas harkening back to a time when I listened to whole albums nonstop without skipping tracks (I'm looking at you: What's the Story (Morning Glory)?) and I had a sweet little domestic vision of playing a record while I cook dinner and having it sit on a table in my dining room. So I was thrilled when I searched used record stores (um, the new Lana Del Rey is a pre-order for $45[!!!!] and I don't see myself commiting in such a monumental way) and found this one in my neighborhood. Armed with the knowledge from a few YouTube videos, I knew how to handle a record (gently and without touching the grooved portions), how to avoid common pitfalls (mismatched UPC from record and covers for reissues, checking the album cover spine for drop damage, & that the most common scratch place is right at the beginning of track 1 where people drop the needle on the vinyl) along with what can be fixed at home (dusty dirt smudges and smears) and what can't (deeper scuffs, scratches, warping). Also learned (surprisingly) a sealed record does not necessarily mean mint condition, it could be warped or damaged despite being unopened. Not an expert yet but confident enough to at least go in to the store. I practiced first at Goodwill but their selection must get picked over by resellers right quick because it was stuff that shouldn't even be for sale. Crossroads was my 3rd stop. My understanding is that this is like an antique mall where there are many sellers using the space. When I got my receipt, he said fifty sellers, I think. This was confusing at first because I saw "rock" then proceeded to keep seeing "rock" in every row. It looked like anything valuable (maybe over $30-50) was kept up front but the covers are placeholders in the stacks. As far as covid compliance, people kept their distance and wore masks. I had a nice Friday off from work flipping thru the bins and found a few things I think I could see myself listening to: Some french pianist doing the Beatles mashed up with classical pieces, and a Charlie Parker quartet/quintet greatest hits (can't go wrong there). I spent $12 on the two and was told the receipt doesn't matter so much as the sticker because it links to the specific seller. My record player is shipping so I don't have it yet but I anticipate coming here with some regularity. I also followed one of the sellers on Facebook, it's "hamspapershack". I'm never gonna be a major collector or drop a ton of money, but I can see myself growing a modest collection of used records that I listen to on sunny afternoons, rainy reading days, or probably most often, making dinner. I'm glad Crossroads is hanging in! A few housekeeping details: they take payment cards and have a small parking area of about 3 spaces. I also heard a tip in my YouTube research that some/most record stores will have a turntable for you to try a record yourself- not sure if this is Rona Protocol or like this all the time, but this one didn't have a customer turntable that I saw.
