Jonny and his extended family always so welcoming, and make it such a pleasurable experience whenever you drop by.It's so nice to be in the company of people who really know what they are selling, and enjoy what they are selling, and not selling any product just for the hell of it! A great selection right across the board, of not just vinyl, cd's, etc...new and used, but they additionally sell some classic used vintage equipment, and new equipment. All reasonably priced. So you are well catered for.Well worth checking out everything they have.In person or online.You will be pleasantly surprised when you walk through those doors. Lastly.Make sure you walk through the whole store, as they have a bargain bin area for vinyl at the back of the store, and you never know what hidden gem you might find! (I will leave it at that) Seriously. SO much to like! https://clocktowerlps.com/ read more

Pretty good selection. A bit overpriced, in my opinion. Well organized by genre. Some bargain bins at the front.

They're the best! Love popping innnere and scoring some goodies :) support local! Coming back to see you soon:)

For starters, the selection was amazing, especially all the amazing vinyls in the back room. The guy working the counter was super nice and helpful. The prices are a bit high but overall it's a good place. read more

Went here for Black Friday RSD and was happy to interface with some nice employees. Cashier was super friendly, and they handed out donuts to those of us waiting outside. 11/10 would come back! read more

for a neighborhood store they are hard to beat! great selection and the staff are all true music lovers!

We love this place ! Always plenty of vinyl to thumb through . Always leave here satisfied with a good amount of new or used records for our collection. Good amount of punk to choose from , metal and tons of rock ! Nice hidden gem in the back is a dollar box ! Worth the time to sit on the floor and take a peak ! Usually end up finding some fun tunes ! Even if they end up sucking , looks great stapled to a wall or melted into a bowl !? Check out the vinyl stickers too in the front display ;-) Haven't looked on social media yet , after this I am ! But they say to check it out for more options !!! If your looking to add to your collection , find some rare gems or just relish in nostalgic era of vinyl , even cassette takes and cds completely worth it to check this place out ! read more

Fantastic selection of cds and records. The owner was very helpful and pointedly me to a $1 discount section where I found a two disc opera set! I could have spent all day looking (and buying)! read more

2020 - masks available at the entrance so no excuses. Cute record store, well stocked with mountains of music. read more

I absolutely love this place!! They have every type of artist! My favorite artist is taylor swift and the staff there is so nice and they always tell me when there is a new taylor swift vinyl, poster, CD, and more! I'm 13 and they are always so kind to me even when I ask stupid questions! They have vinyl care like inner and outer sleeves. Love this place!!! read more

Great record shop in downtown Grass Valley. Bigger than it looks with a large backroom too. Fun posters and memorabilia as well as a great selection of classic and new music.

Clock Tower Records - Newspapers & Magazines Near Me - Grass Valley, California

A record store that seems preserved in time, with rows and rows of not just vinyl but CDs, tapes, and 8-tracks as well as T-shirts, posters, and other music paraphernalia. I hope they stay in business a long time because our world can't survive on Spotify alone! read more

See all

I enjoyed this place! Great mix of stuff to look at with fair prices! I collect Metal, Punk, and 70's Glam and found a bunch to dig through. Even with my massive collection I found a couple records to buy that I'm thrilled with!! Nicely divided, stuff was easy to find, prices were fair, grading was spot on. Next time I go to Reno to visit relatives I'm coming back through Grass Valley! (For the fudge and Clock Tower Records!) I'll be back! read more

Terrific record shop, just how I like it: a healthy mix of new and used, copious vinyl, a listening area pieced together from abandoned stereos and a quiet but kind owner who doesn't harass you. This shop is worth any music lover's visitation. read more

If you like music you will love this place. Great selection of vinyl and CDs. Found a mint copy of a Quicksilver Messenger Service album that made me very happy. They also have a nice selection of rock t-shirts and posters. Highly recommend. read more

Really a great hometown record store. Independent owners seem to really care about the music. The staff is super knowledgeable and very helpful. Really good selection of vintage audio components and good stock of cleaning supplies and record sleeves etc. They make it easy to order albums not in stock and make their their customers feel welcomed. There is also offstreet parking in the back. read more

Cool unexpected find. Vinyl galore, plus vintage concert posters, DVDs, and some CDs. If I had more time, I would have spent the afternoon here listening o good music.... read more

Mandatory. Clock Tower is so incredibly important to the community (both the music community and the general community) - An independent record store in a small town is unfortunately being a thing of the past, but an independent record store in a small town with a great selection of vinyl?! That's nearly unheard of in our modern world! He has a great selection, fair prices and a decent amount of high end components to help fill out your home listening station. I really can't say enough great things about Clock Tower, or the owner, Curt. Keep up the great work! read more

This is a great record store and has a fantastic selection. You will not go through stacks of Perry Como and Bee Gees, everything is well stocked with very reasonable prices. Plus, the owner has excellent taste in Jazz. read more

We visited this store for the first time while passing through on our way home after visiting my Grandma in Nevada City and I'm very glad we did! Our 14 year old son has just started collecting records and this was only the fourth or fifth store he's been in to look for records. He said everyone working there ( 3 people maybe) were very nice and helpful. He left with several new additions to his collection: Buddy Holly, Dean Martin, Louis Prima, and Frank Sinatra. He even bought his very first record player while there! I've since spoke to someone who works there on the phone and he was just what my son had said. Very nice and very helpful. This is his favorite store he's been in and next time we're up that way, we'll definitely be stopping by again. We live an hour and a half away or else we'd visit more often. Thank you for helping this young, new collector!! read more

I've been in only once and I already like this place a lot. Great selection in multiple genres, artwork, helpful service, plus there's even more online to browse thru if you can't find everything you're looking for (I found a ton and had cut myself off). I'll definitely be back. read more

Great to see a quality record store in grass valley. If you are a lover of music and do not understand why record stores are still open then go to clock tower records, find an album you love and listen to it there in the store. There is nothing like the experience and sound of vinyl. Bands are releasing new albums to vinyl everyday so take you preconceived notions of your grandmothers record player and go find out what youre missing. I am not affiliated with these guys in any way other than I need you to help me support this place so it can be there for years to come. You can get this at Walmart! read more

Great selection of records and collectibles. Wish there was a better selection of turntables. Very nice gentleman and excellent customer service. Have me a discount on records that were in the far back part of the store. I assume those were either slightly scratched or less popular. Liked my visit. Good holiday idea for the classic collector and record enthusiast. read more

Great new and used collection of records, and friendly staff. Bought two items here earlier this month, one of which a bonus 7" for the Alabama Shake's album Sound & Color. Didn't feel at any point like I was being quietly judged any more than I should have been. read more

Love this place! I always make the drive to Grass Valley for just this place. Great selection, great customer service, and amazing prices. It's great to help support an actual record store by buying new releases from them. If you have any questions, they are more than happy to help and if they don't have it; they will do their best to get it in. Favorite record store for literally miles around! read more

Clock tower records has an amazing selection of vinyl, and cds. Not to mention amazing memorabilia all over the store for sale! Talk about a great heavenly gem nestled in Grass Valley, CA. Great customer service, and selection. I must place to go to! read more

A great old fashioned record store. Actual personal service by people who really know their music and are happy to indulge in music geekdom. Huge selection of new and used vinyl. A lot of real hard to find stuff. They have new and used CDs as well and books and things, but its the vintage vinyl that's the big draw for me. read more

I ended up spending multiple hours in this store- not even on purpose! Great selection of new and used, classic albums I wouldn't find anywhere else. Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff. Cool posters and gift ideas. Definitely a Christmas stop now on my list. read more

An awesome place. Curt is a great guy who will go the extra mile to make sure your are satisfied. I can't recommend this place enough, stores like this are very hard to find in this day and age. Great selection of vinyl and old posters, gig flyers etc. Always something interesting to catch your ears or eyes. Burn your ipods gen Y, this is what music is supposed to sound like !! read more

Popped in while waiting for a show at the Center for the Arts. Awesome shop, great selections. Rock in the front, Jazz and Soul in the back. Could have easily spent a few hundred bucks, but am a grad. student on a budget. Hard to find albums at a fair price. Cannot wait to get back (drove from Chico, CA). read more
