I have to agree with some of the reviews, but overall it's a fine store…read more To the point about not being open regularly, I have only been able to find it open twice. I don't live super close, but I try to check on it when I'm around. Someone mentioned several copies of the same record in different parts of the store and different prices. I have noticed that, too, but that is common of many record stores. The new copies will be the same price, but used copies will have different prices depending on the condition. I think the problem might be that the New, Used, and genre sections are not labelled clearly enough and there are many different sections. The first time I actually was able to get in, the store was open and music was playing, but there was no one manning the store. If there was someone there, I didn't see them in the 30 minutes or so I was browsing. I ended up leaving empty handed. They do have a decent collection of records, though. Last time, I was able to find something I had been looking for for years. I'll go back. Hopefully it's open when I do.

Terrible. The mature gentleman working was friendly when we stopped in on a quiet weekend…read more He left and left a young adult to "work". The gentleman returned after a short thereafter, as he apparently ran into a frequent customer who came in, and wanted to chat and exchange pleasantries. The gentleman had to instruct the young adult to "play some music", as she literally had zero music. It was quieter than a library. Anywho, once he left she played "music" thru her phone which apparently was a hot commodity as it beeped and interrupted the "music" every 30-45 seconds. There were a few albums we wanted to find and suspected they possibly had but could not. We gave up as we were left alone as the young adult was in the back room doing whatever. I suspect if the older gentleman was still on the clock, he would have assisted us best he could. Needless to say, we tried a newer vinyl store in Dunedin- greeted immediately and ended up walking out almost hours later, spending way more than planned.

I didn't have an appointment but was welcomed anyway, I dropped off my records to be assessed and was told I'd hear from the owner. Only a few hours later I got a text from Doug with an offer!

They also have a section for local Floridian authors, along with guides to the state of Florida and different cities, which is super relevant for visitors to the shop. Along with books, they have other knick-knacks, some book-themed and some just for fun. There are socks, shirts, book-themed book bags, puzzles and more. I would say the prices aren't the best but they aren't quite as bad as going to a Barnes & Noble or Books-a-million type book shop. And i'd much rather support a small business paying a price like that than the big chains. They do also have a used book section that has cheaper books so that can be another nice option. Truly, there's something for everyone in here if you look close enough. Even some special edition books they keep behind the register as they as rare & a very valuable.
