As someone who has been shopping for records for 40+ years, it was a pleasure to visit this store. It's got a good selection across all genres, with actual cheap bins that have interesting gems sprinkled amongst. The new proprietor tried to keep it similar to the prior owner-it's just cleaner and easier to browse from what I understand. Worth a visit. read more

Double Nickels Collective - Music & DVDs Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

it was a cool store and good prices i had bought a cream record. It was good condition and he even gave me a free cover for it.

Ever since my girlfriend has gotten into record collecting we have been hitting up pretty much every store we can to check things out. I spent most of my teens and 20's buying records and now that she's into it I've been happy to share this hobby with her and teach her all the things I've learned over the years. Double Nickels Collective is a bit of an unorthodox records stores as it seems to be a collective of a bunch of different people selling records and such but it's all under one roof. This store is broken up into different sections and features everything records and movies to clothes and a couple of pups roaming around. Is this store clean? That debatable. Is the washroom kind of disgusting? Yes, it absolutely is, but this store is packed with all the heavy metal, country, punk, jazz, and rock you might be searching for if you are willing to do some digging. Will I be back to this store in the future? Yes, because stores like this are super fun to look through and you really never know what you will find. If you collect records and find the self in Phoenix, bring some wet wipes and give this place a look. read more

My favorite local store, Mike is the best. Been holding it down for years, god bless him. Punk rock and indie and metal and reggae and everything else run through here regularly, and priced to sell not priced to gawk at. Long live Eastside, viva Double Nickels. Say hello to the dawgs. read more

Only record store worth a damn in the state. Great trade-in value (I never feel scammed like I do at ZIA...) and great prices on some really amazing records. I've found some rare records for great prices and everyone that has worked here is always super knowledgeable, kind, easy to talk to. Always a pleasure !!!!! read more

Me and my wife accidentally found this museum of greatness. I just got a record player , 30 plus years after I gave away or tossed all my records , complete kiss collection , punk , colored vinyl etcc . As I walk in it's like walking back in time , everyone who was working was like a tour director through time basically . I wanted to start my new record collection by getting what truly was meant to be on vinyl , and this place is the only place because you will never leave , if I ever buy a vinyl record anywhere else , I will personally kick my own Ass . Go here , but don't be one of those dicks who puts shit back in the wrong area , these guys work hard to keep stuff where you can find it !!!! Great stuff here read more

Fun place , lots of variety will definitely will go back !! I was looking for old a variety of old country records , and they had so much selection for all generations. read more

Out of all my 47 years on this rock we call earth I have experienced the hunt for vinyl in a lot of ways. The experience here at Double Nickels is at the top of my list. this place is a treasure trove of goodness when it comes to rare and fun vinyl. I found my share of albums i had to buy. I have to go back to look for more! this place is a bit messy and cluttered but it is part of the experience. Pet the dogs and look for some vinyl! read more

This is a diamond in the rough. I found what I was looking for (a Skinny Puppy record) and sp much more! The band shirts are wild, the music in the walls (premium stuff) is priced great, and the cashier guy is super cool. And I mean, look at the help! Love this place. read more

Double Nickels Collective - Music & DVDs Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I have told all my friends who are rock and roll aficionados about this place since I went several weeks ago. The vinyl selection is extensive and comprehensive. I bought some cool vintage clothes and books as well. Great rock and roll vintage memorabilia. The guy who runs this is a hard working soul. Let's support the mom and pop places while we can. This place is a little bit of Los Angeles in Tempe. My son and I loved it. Great for exploring. Go now! read more

Double Nickels Collective - I got this pretty vintage dress here. Super cool place! Don't miss out! - Music & DVDs Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Stopped in during a road trip. Found some rare vinyl at a good price. Will definitely come back if I'm in town again.

This is pretty much where I do all of my vinyl shopping. Great place with very knowledgeable people working the counter. Also two very cute dogs that like to lounge around and yap at people on occasion. Lots of character. The coolest thing is the store's collection is only half of the store, and then you have the other half with different vendor's using the site to sell their collections. Lots of good stuff. read more

The best record store in Arizona, they have everything. You can find some real gems in there

Great selection and well versed staff. The record selection is one of my favorites of the valley and their comics are fantastic. I used to live up the hill from Fantagraphics in Seattle. I'm impressed at their little rack. They even had some Hernandez brothers work I haven't read yet! My only problem is I can't stop myself from spending all my spare cash. How am I ever supposed to have savings? read more

This place is fantastic! The prices are great, and the guy that owns place is very knowledgeable about all of the records he owns. Definitely will be back! read more

Great deals to be had. Large Selection. Mike, and his crew, really know vinyl and music, and are very nice and helpful as well. Prices are very fair. One of my top three stores to vinyl hunt. There are usually turntables, equipment, books, posters, etc. there as well. I check there often, as new arrivals come in daily! read more

Cute dogs live here, actually they're the best part of the store ha! Lots of records here, and they have some cool vintage clothing but WAY overpriced. read more

As a fellow record store owner (from California), take it from me. This store has the best selection and best prices in the Phoenix, AZ area!! read more

My all-time favorite record store to visit when I'm in the area. Great selection and the best employees.

The best service of any record shops in the valley. A nice Corsican boy who works there laid on the ground in front of me while I ate, just in case I needed anything. They always have the best selection of Smurf figurines, Cliff Hanger VHS tapes, and ringside chairs from old professional wrestling matches. I highly recommend stopping by this beautiful shop. read more

Double Nickels Collective - Best service in Maricopa County - Music & DVDs Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Mike is awesome and runs a wonderful vintage record store. There are some treasures to be found by anyone that's for sure.

I visit every time I am in the Phx/Tempe area. I always leave with more records than I plan on. Great prices. Several vendors. A must for vinyl freaks. read more

The guy who runs the place, Michael, has been in the record selling biz since I was a kid- the Reagan years. Great to see him still going. On my first visit, I was overwhelmed by the selection (my passions are First Wave/College Radio artists and 60s Jazz). I also bought some nice speakers for a good price as well. A friend from out of town came to visit and we only had time for one record store. The choice was tough, but I went with this one. read more

Great little out of the way store! You would need a lifetime to look through it all but there are some gems to be found! owner was a fun guy to talk to. read more

This is my favorite record store in the valley. They had a huge selection and always seem to have new stock every time I stop in. I love this place! read more

They won't rip you off and they have a great selection of obscure stuff. They guys are nice and it's pretty much the only record store I go to anymore. Whether you're looking for hardcore, noise, industrial, punk, Fela Kuti, I mean whatever you can think of it's probably here honestly. Plus there's rad ass dogs dude. read more

This is my favorite shop in Phoenix. It houses Eastside Records and many(10?) other vendors in the same vein as Crossroads in Portland. They've got tons of new/used records, tapes, audio gear, clothing and books. For the most part though, it is a record store with a great selection and good prices. I would say that the majority of the records are used, but they also have good new releases and reissues. The Punk, Jazz and Reggae sections are huge compared with anyone else in town. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and there's always new stuff in the new arrivals bin when I stop by. read more

I've been a record collector since about 1970 and was a customer of the original East Side records on University. Over the years I've found some really hard to find records in this place and usually at good prices. The owner and the others working the place are always helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. This is were I learned that Classic Rock was not the end point of great music rock but just the beginning of it. read more

I have a circuit of record stores that I go to when I want to expand my collection. My friend told me about this place and now it's part of that circuit. In my mind, there are two ends of the record store spectrum: 1. Clean corporate chains that have a decent selection and a lot of pop culture stuff, and 2. Hardcore, vinyl-centric, unfiltered, independent stores. This place is messy, but it's not remotely bothersome when there's gems everywhere you look. I've scored great deals on classic albums in good condition that would've costed twice the price new or used at other stores. The guy (his name escapes me) who seems to run the place every time I'm there is the exact kinda guy who should run a record store. He knows his shit, but he's not an unapproachable like some with an equal caliber of knowledge. That all being said, I still frequent the other store across the street. It all depends on what in particular I'm after. But overall, if you want a record store that is just that, a store full of records without too much fluff, this is it. Actually that being said, there are two fluffy denizens who guard the place. That's always a plus. read more

A super mix of records to be searched through by several different vendors. Great staff on hand to help guide you to the area of the store that would more than likely have what/something close to what you came in looking for. Visited the area and wound up returning to Double Nickels several times, and would recommend the same to you. Go in with extra time as there is a ton to go through, some major finds, and plenty of staples for the new collector. read more
