This review is based on a phone purchase I made. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting this store…read morein person, but when searching for a rare record online I discovered that Graywhale had a used copy of the record in question. I tried to place the order over their website, but for some reason it wouldn't process the payment, and I tried using different credit cards, but always with the same result. I emailed them about the issue and I received a reply soon after from Zane, who told me that they could help me make the purchase over the phone. So I called the store and spoke to Anthony, who assisted me and rang me up over the phone, and he said that he should be able to have the record shipped out that day. True to his word, Anthony sent me a message with the tracking number for my order. When order arrived, the record was packaged very carefully and the record in excellent condition. Hopefully, if I ever make my way out to Utah (I live in New York), I will certainly make it a point to swing by Graywhale!

On June 6th this store hosted a "Take Home Magic Pre-Release for Final Fantasy" the charged me…read more$165.70 for 2 pre-release packs. I was like wow that's crazy. The girl behind the counter said yeah they just keep going up. I later went Gamers Asylum and played in their tournament for $42, got the same Pre-Release pack, but I got to play to win even more packs. This shop charged me double, and didn't even offer a tournament. I feel like this place just stole $80 from me. What an embarrassment for a store. I'm going to tell everyone I know to avoid this place. I hope they go out of buisness.

Foot traffic for a Sunday was quite brisk. Like most used-media type places, this one is heavily dependent on what they get in, with exceedingly little new stuff, but even hitters like Wal-Mart can't be bothered, so no shame there, I suppose. Being in a mall, it is slightly more expensive, but the selection is quite solid. I found a couple very deep titles on my wish list and was pleased that I was able to ferret those out. This is almost worth dealing with the atrocious parking lot situation to visit, though I probably won't for quite some time again. I think my favorite thing is the layout, which is outstanding. Just well-done all around and if they had more of the newer release titles, I might be just tempted to push this up a star.

It's a great place to discover a bunch of current bands that sound like they're lost in another decade...but in a great way! Some of my current faves are Cosmicity, Ganymede, Iris and Neuropa.

The only thing I haven't readily found is a way to sample a lot of the music they have for sale... http://www.adifferentdrum.com/

Guys I have gone to graywhale since I was like 13 years old because the Sandy location was the…read moreclosest record store, but let me just say this place is really not all that. Okay? Their new stuff isn't bad, but the prices are INSANELY high. The common price for a newly sealed vinyl is about 30 dollars. What! Piss the bed! On another note I'm going to share a very sad story. Today I had some records I was going to bring in to sell, but I knew I was coming a kinda close to closing time so I called beforehand and asked if they'd have time to go through them tonight and they said yes. I told them I had a 20 minute drive and I'd be there soon and they said that would be okay. Sublime. So I drove there with all my stuff in my car and brought it inside and they're all like "we can't take these today, bring them in next week." Hello? I just drove 20 minutes to get here because you told me it was fine! I asked if I could leave the stuff there and they said there was "nothing they could do." Shameful. Graywhale's customer service has never been great but I expected they'd try to do something to make it right. These people do not care about their customers! Go to Randy's Records instead. They have a better selection and better prices!

They even sell cassettes, if you have any idea what those are or have any means to play them. Frankly, cassettes always sucked. The vinyl selections are well-curated.

There is a good mix of vintage and new to thumb through. Highly recommend for crate diggers. There are some real gems to find and not just a lot of unrecognizable, dilapidated records from your great uncle's garage. The staff is super helpful if you're looking for something in particular. They also have the capability of ordering and shipping for selections not on hand. It is refreshing to see vinyl make a comeback, the store was packed with people and everyone had at least one record to buy. We live about 50 miles away and we will make special trips to Ogden just to shop at Lavendar.
