Great prices, all vinyl I checked were clean and in VG++ to EX condition. Found two great finds for a very great price!! The owner (I assumed at the counter) was very polite and knowledgeable about music. I highly recommend this small store, especially if you are looking for classic rock vinyl.

It's a shame that I drove all the way from Seattle to explore this store only to find it closed on…read morea day that they state that they would be open. Unfortunate as I haven't been to this location and I am giving the rating on the fact that I was here when they should have been open. I even called the store at 12:05 thinking someone might be in the back room. Nope. I gave them the customary 15 minute frame, but it looks like I will take my business to a store that be open when they state they should be open. Quite disappointed. Walking back to my car empty handed. Won't come down here unless I am in the neighborhood which is unlikely.

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!

There is wall to wall media of music both CD's/cassettes, DVD's movies- including box sets of shows. Some of which are new or are in great condition. It's a relatively small shop but it's packed with so much media, you could spend a bit of time here if you're looking for something specific or even if you're browsing. It's just on the other side of 405 but still considered part of Totem Lake. What's nice is Vortex would be considered a small business, I mean what other major retailer these days buys and sells physical media like this presently? furthermore, I'm all for the preservation of physical media with so much of everything going digital now. If I'm looking for something in particular and need it for my DVD or CD player, I'll probably try here and perhaps you should too.

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!

For the movie buffs well they have a well stocked area of new & used movies and tv shows on dvd & Blu ray. Keep in mind your supporting a local business and real music enthusiasts who work the counters. Amazon does not share the knowledge of the staff or can share with you information on new music.
