One of my favorite record stores in the area!…read more Pros: great dollar section. They clean all their records before they put them out. Great selection overall. Prices are generally good. Really friendly staff. Adorable dog sometimes wanders the store. Huge 45 section, lots of CDs and DVDs too. The cons: no new arrivals section which means you need to browse the whole store to see all the new stuff. Also, they have a huge .25 cent selection of junk albums. I sometimes like to buy those primarily for the covers for art or display projects. But they write .25 cents in marker on the front of the cover. I have no problem with marking the outer sleeve but do it on the back! It's on Woodward with that really cramped parking. Overall though, it's a great store! Go there!

The price was quite reasonable, I guess I'll have to pay more elsewhere, what a bummer, I enjoy that everything is organized , sections labeled so you can get straight to what you want to find if it's available, great international section too, hope to be able to make it back there to see what they still have.

I've been to record stores across the world, and I was blown away by this place. I have no idea why…read moreRecords & Tapes Galore is so under the radar, but it is the best shop I've ever visited as far as an anachronistic, authentic, unpretentious, and honest experience goes. The couple running the place have been there for over 40 years. Some of the stock has probably been there for nearly as long. There's a veneer of neglect about the place in the best way possible. It's (dis)organized into piles and boxes on top of their older inventory, and they can direct you to the newer piles, or to older piles where you might find some stray cache of a particular genre. Or just start digging. Some of the inventory is pretty overpriced - especially the Beatles and Stones and other classics. But a lot isn't - at all. They have an eclectic selection of newer releases, reggae, psychedelica, local music, electronica, and who knows what else. Prices on this lesser known stuff are often more than fair. The atmosphere is laid back - it's like hanging out in your grandparents' basement. Some of the people who come in have been coming in a LONG time. An older fellow came in looking to haggle for a record and was told off for an insulting offer, responding with a "I've been coming to this store since the day it opened." This is a true neighborhood record store and something you just won't find anywhere else in this era of discogs and ebay pricing. Just go and support these people. They really appreciate it.

Metal section had some good albums scattered about at least, but the punk section had me struggling not to gag on my own vomit. The hip hop and indie rock sections were not far behind in terms of their ability to invoke nausea. Of the two staff I spoke to, one seemed to know absolutely nothing and the other was just as unhelpful while also being condescending and rude. I guess this place is fine if you're starting out or just want to grab the latest RSD repress of that album that already has dozens of pressings and leave immediately, but don't bother stopping by if you're looking to dig or get excited because this store has nothing to offer actual collectors.

I've become quite the vinyl record connoisseur and this place makes me pretty happy. I find something new to pick up every time I stop in, which isn't exactly doing good things for my chronic efforts to clean up to create a bit of extra space around the Man Cave at home. Prices are what I'd expect, but some rare and out of print vinyl is priced pretty high, although the owner has a sale/clearance section by the door that occasionally holds some treasures. I've done a vinyl record trade with the owner and the store credit was decent. That allowed me to pick up a new slew of stuff! Customer service is awesome.
