I would go broke shopping at this record store! Stopped here briefly with my brother who told me…read moreabout this place. In the trendy Southside area of downtown Chattanooga, this is a WELL curated shop that also doubles as a tattoo shop I believe. Didn't get to spend a lot of time in here but this store is EPIC!! Dallos carries records that I have never seen in any other shop for real. Great variety of genres. The jazz section is EPIC! You WILL find something you are looking for in here. I mentioned a few recommendations of records I'd like to see and the owner, Marlo wrote it down. Wouldn't surprise me if it's in the store when I come back. Prices looked good on the mostly new sealed records. I plan to spend a lot of money in here when I have more time to browse. GET HERE vinyl lovers!!

Sorry I left before I thought of making a review I bought 3 records. They had literally EVERYTHING,…read morefrom rap to emo, they even had coasters. And yeah I bought one. They had abba coasters and Kendrick. The staff is like super cool. And if you look at their recommendation box they are filled with straight gasss. The cost is the same as Walmart or Amazon and tbf I'd rather support an in person vinyl store than online or giant commercial companies anyway (even if it cost $10 more (which at Dallos' it isn't)). Even had a fkn graduation cd. Haven't seen one of those in like 5 years. Would blow my whole paycheck at this store in like 15 minutes. I got melodic blue, death row, and dj Khalid (and a coaster gkmc). Absolute 5 star. Tattoos too? I guess maybe the workers know how to do that... like wtf?

A couple years ago I made the decision to return to vinyl as my primary source for music listening…read more While it was unfortunate I was starting from ground zero having lost my vinyl records from the 60's and 70's during one of my many moves, Chattanooga proved to be a fortuitous spot to resurrect this hobby having Yellow Records here in my neighborhood. While this is not an overly large store, they effectively maximize their space to offer a great variety of both new and used albums. The value proposition is frequently accentuated via the many sales events offered both on-line and at the store, throughout the year. You need help, advice, assistance in tracking down a hard to find record, Ben and his team are jolly on the spot, each and every time. Throughout the year Ben demonstrates over and over just how committed he is to our local community......can I give him six stars?

Calling all vinyl lovers! I highly recommend stopping in Yellow Jacket Records! Last weekend, my…read moreMom channeled my Dad's spirit by wanting to go to the Hixson location of Books A Million and wanting to check out Yellow Jacket Records. Books and music - my Dad's two favorite things. While at Yellow Jacket Records, Mom found a free record by Harry Chapin's brother, who she and Dad had met many years ago. I found a rare record that Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger collaborated on as well as a classic Joan Baez album. The store owner and staff were so nice and fun to talk too too! Adding this place to my monthly experience list.

I came in with my four children and everyone found something they liked. We will be coming again when we have more time!

This was our first time in this bookstore and we were so excited. My husband, myself and our 2 boys…read morewent off to our different sections. We were the only ones in there and then two others joined us. I would NEVER suggest this but what I thought was random became really uncomfortable as a worker seemed to follow us in each room. My son was in one room, my little one in the kids section with me and my husband looking around. She just kept popping in and not asking if we needed help but just watching us. I didn't have a purse or a bag with me. I am darker and my husband and kids are lighter. I was going to brush it off when my little one went to pay for us books and then sat in the front room in the couch. It was just us and here she came again but sat down her laptop across from us. Now I am a mix of annoyed and pissed off. Would you like for us to spend money there or make us so uncomfortable we leave? My oldest picked up on it and asked what the deal was. I finally said out loud to my husband "why does she keep following us in every room?" I didn't want to make a scene so we went across the street and enjoyed some yummy goodies. I have no idea what that was about but that was the worst experience I've ever had in Chattanooga and we were from NYC. Please do better!'n

This place is SO rad!…read more Visiting my hometown this month, I am hearing about and discovering so many new cool independent businesses. The Electric Crocodile is THE best vintage store though - from clothing to games to decor to collectibles to keepsakes. This store is like a choose your own adventure through fabulousness. Mom and I stopped in last weekend, experiencing a fun, friendly staff and seeing so many deals on stylish clothes, potential home decor from past iconic eras, and just fun stuff. Some of what I saw - Garbage Pail Kids cards, Star Wars figurines, gems, 60's & 70's & 80's clothing pieces in great condition, and unique candlesticks and art. And an energetic cat is the unofficial store keeper. Can't wait to go back for a few hours soon to decide on what to purchase first!

"WOW -- WHAT a DIFFERENCE! CrocBuster Video!"…read more *FYI: I'm always on the lookout for stores in the CHA-area that sell "old-school" physical media, as I run a film series at a local arts center that relies on it for projection. I found CrocBuster purely through a fluke -- I asked Google for "dvd / video stores" near me (not expecting much of anything), but I was so pleasantly surprised -- This isn't a STORE, it's an EXPERIENCE! -- a virtual MAZE from one cool "fan-niche cubby hole" to another -- original Star Wars toys, all types of "retro kid stuff" that will bring back many a happy memory, as well as both new & used vinyl LPs, TONS of collectable VHS (Disney clamshells, etc.) and all kinds of tchotchkes and gewgaws you didn't even know existed. (The video online really doesn't do it justice -- you just have to experience it.) I had some old DVDs & VHS tapes in my car that I was hoping to unload (again, not expecting much), only to be so pleasantly surprised. The manager, Paul, turned my two boxes around in a hurry while I shopped. (Both Paul and his wife Michelle and all of the staff were very, very welcoming and helpful in a most genuine way. Michelle gave me a tour of their massive store.) I ended up using my $60 of credit (and then some!) ** Oh, prices are very reasonable, btw. Will definitely be back in the near future. Can't recommend enough -- check it out! *** p,s,: If you have a LARGE amount to trade, call ahead or contact them on Facebook to arrange a good time to bring it by. -- thx!
