***READ CAREFULLY : OWNER FRAUD AND THEFT***…read more I hate to write something like this, but ethically I feel those choosing this store need to be made aware of where they are spending their time and money. I attended the Tame Impala Deadbeat listening party. At this event it was advertised that there would be a contest to win one of two signed test pressing of the record. During the listening portion of the event, I saw Jody walk over to a young man with his mother sitting near me and ask him to go outside. Through the window I saw Jody ask him to take out his raffle ticket and show her the number. Which he did. At this point I became very suspicious about what was going on. Why would the employee ask a customer for their thicket number to a raffle outside away from everyone? You can see in my text message to a friend of my concern for what I saw between Jody and man in green shirt outside looking at ticket stub . Upon the conclusion of the listening party they gathered up everyone to pull names out of a bucket to see the winning raffle ticket. **WATCH VIDEO** With my concern, I decided to video record Jody pulling the raffle ticket to make sure everything was legitimate. YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY IN THE VIDEO JODY PALMING THE WINNING TICKET. The young man in the green shirt won the record and quickly left the store before everyone else. Jody instantly stepped outside saying her car windows were down and she had to close them. I went outside and asked the young man and his mother why they rigged the raffle. The mother was adamant she and her son knew nothing about it and it didn't happen. To which I showed them the video and the mother replied she was not aware that happened. The young man simply stated he didn't know why she asked him for his ticket number outside. I then confronted Jody as she walked back into the store. She denied it happened. I made it very clear that I had video proof she committed fraud. She simply told me "okay. That's all I'm willing to say." I asked again for her to just please be honest as it was unfair to the dozen other people that gave up their time to attend this event thinking it was a fair contest. Jody looked at me and stated, "Yes, I did it." All I can say to anyone looking to shop here... if you value honest quality business I would think twice. What Jody did is fraud and subject to theft. With the value of this record being close to $2,000 to rig a raffle is criminal and she should be reported to the police. I'm sorry I have to write this...

Store is loaded with terrific merchandise. I am a Grateful Dead guy and I bought 5 albums and a couple of CDs. These were items I had never seen in other stores. The store itself is so much fun.

If you like supporting a local small business this is the one. Stop by and say the Grateful Dead guy told you to stop in and buy some cool vinyl, CDs etc.

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.

Jerk Dog has a mix of new and used records with a smattering of cassettes and CD's (some from local artists) all at fair prices. When I was there they actually had room full of records for a $1 a piece! The folks in front of me left with 4 crates of records. That's a whole collection.... Anyway, Douglas the owner is very cool. The hour or so I was in the shop he spoke to every customer like they were long time locals and regulars. His primary focus is punk but the man knows his stuff on other genres as well... I scored a bunch fun $1 records and some other lp's from the Stones to the Pretenders and of course a Jerk Dog t-shirt! I would definitely recommend stopping in, it sounds like they turn new inventory all the time so you never know what gold you may find!

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! So easy and am so glad the records will be rehomed and enjoyed by someone else. Thank you Jerk Dog!
