Third, he always makes sure that you are satisfied with your purchase. Any problems, bring it back and he will make it right. Just like a record store that I grew up with, the records are laid out orderly and easily accessible. No digging thru boxes under a table for hours to find one worthwhile. He covers a lot of genres. I saw plenty of rock, country, R&B, Christian, and today's music. I stopped in one day after coming back from Raleigh, met Phil, who immediately took me on a tour of the store even though he had other customers. This is definitely worth getting off the road to get some good deals to add to your music library.

Rarely have issues with other merchants. They are way too expensive and overcharge for products. Customer service is crap. Owner makes excuses and blows you off. He has take or leave it attitude. For a business to be an outlet for Christian music they do not exemplify Christian values. For selection check out Discogs. Let's support one another.

Decided to stop and look around while in Durham - very cool store…read more Definitely a lot of music selection, free posters, free punk magazines and fanzines. Store has the musty, crunchy vibe you'd expect and it really suits the store. Employee that rang us up was very friendly and thanked us for stopping in. If you're looking for obscure albums, they might have it! Almost an overwhelming selection, very unusual bands, too. Worth stopping in. I believe they buy your used music items as well and offer cash/value towards purchases. Bummer we missed the store dog, though!

My Mr. and I wanted to go crate digging in the Jacksonville area and found Retrorecords on google…read more Was impressed with their reviews that we had to check them out.

You cannot open the vinyl but They are guaranteed in mint and very good plus conditions (we checked when we got home) If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Besides vinyl, he does sell used CDS at a reasonable price. We walked out with some rare vinyl finds. Sealed Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time, Nektar, James Bond Soundtrack to Moonraker, and Bootsy Collins.

I honestly wasn't expecting too much from it, but I was legit blown away by the goodies my wife and I found here. Of course, we're always on the lookout for new vinyl shops for some quality crate digging, and if you're looking for the same while in Jacksonville, NC, I definitely recommend a visit! It may seem small on the outside, but the selection is not small at all. Everything is set up by genre so it's easy to hunt for goodies. New and used vinyls as well as rarities can be found all over, along with used CD's, vinyl speakers, and unique collectables. The owner asks that patrons do no open the vinyls, but guarantees their quality 100%. All the vinyls my lady and I left with were in pristine condition too. As far as payment, the mall itself charges a 3% fee for credit card purchases, so cash is recommended. This is a true hidden gem for vinyl-heads in eastern NC. Check 'em out and tell 'em Josh sent ya! And make sure to get a Retrorecords button before you leave!

The books inside are individually priced, while the books outside are discounted to 10 or 25 cents based on which side it is on. I could have spent hours there.

Overall, perfect first visit and I look forward to returning!
