The prices are a teeny bit on the high side, but considering the selection I'm not complaining. Also, be sure and get the discount for buying a certain amount of records. Also, be sure to utilize the owner as he's got all the knowledge on music and equipment. Anyways, this is definitely my favorite store now.

Put your money local for it actually helps somebody that you know and makes a difference in their life that day. I personally bought $37 worth of stuff which was probably like 7 items and some of those were brand new with tags on them and brand name, I got a purse. I can't say enough of what an experience it was to spend an hour wandering around his lovely store. The world need places like this to honor the past & the present!

Seattle record shops are often picked over, so come over here to find treasures and better pricing. They also have the new records here too, and vinyls seem to be priced according to quality as you can find the same vinyls priced differently. Selection is great without being impossible to browse through. The owner is pretty friendly. There's also nice ambient music playing in the background (on a record player, of course). I bought some records where the album cover was very worn, so I wasn't expecting much but miraculously they played without any noise. Amazing!

A very unpleasant experience this was. I walked 6 miles to have a great time and find some records and the owner of the store was possibly the grumpiest record store owner I have come across in years. I don't know what I did to this man to cause him to be so rude to me, but I left. Highly recommend passing this store up. He was blasting late career Billy Joel the entire time , so this was probably a red flag from the beginning. What an awful experience....
