    The In Groove -- A Place That Respects the Music…read more There are record stores, and then there are places that understand what this hobby is really about. The In Groove is the latter. From the moment you walk in, there's a sense of order and intention. The space is clean, organized, and easy to navigate--something that might seem simple on the surface, but in reality reflects a deeper respect for both the music and the people searching for it. You're not digging through chaos. You're exploring a collection that feels cared for. As you move through the bins, that feeling continues. The records aren't just stocked--they're curated. There's a quiet confidence in knowing that what you're flipping through has been chosen, not just accumulated. For someone who values condition, pressings, and the integrity of the music, that matters. It turns browsing into something more deliberate, more enjoyable, and ultimately more rewarding. Along one wall sits a collection of vintage audio gear--amplifiers, receivers, pieces of history that remind you this hobby doesn't end with the record itself. It's about the entire chain--the system, the room, the experience. Seeing those components in that setting connects everything together. Music isn't just something you own. It's something you build around. What stands out most is how easy it is to slow down here. There's no pressure, no rush--just the quiet rhythm of discovery. You find yourself taking your time, paying attention, and reconnecting with why you got into this in the first place. The In Groove isn't just a place to buy records. It's a place that respects the process of listening. And that makes all the difference

    This space is pretty well organized and well stocked. I didn't find as many used vinyl as I would…read morehave hoped, and while some prices were reasonable, most of what I found was a bit too high for me. Sometimes it just comes down to whatever ends up in stock. Still a nice shop to look through.

    We visited this Changing Hands location after attending the Phoenix Art Museum's August First…read moreFriday event. It felt like an appropriate encore for an artsy evening. My sister and I had just visited their Tempe location and were delighted in how similar but different this Changing Hands was from Tempe's shop. Namely, this Changing Hands has a little area for coffee, booze, and bites. Just like the Tempe shop, they have an amazing selection of books and gift items and so much more. I find their prices to be so fair, especially for a fairly small indie bookshop--support small book sellers! We also loved that this shop has a tiny art print vending machine...think of the sticker machines from your childhood that traded quarters for stickers...but cooler!

    I usually visit the Tempe location, but recently found myself near the Phoenix store and decided to…read morestop in. I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint! Like its Tempe counterpart, this store has a fantastic selection and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to spend far more time browsing than planned. I especially loved the poetry section, which was thoughtfully curated and offered a wonderful variety of titles. Beyond the books, there's an eclectic mix of gifts and unique items that make browsing even more enjoyable. The coffee/bar is also a nice touch and adds to the overall experience. Whether you're searching for your next great read, shopping for a gift, or simply looking for a relaxing place to wander, this location is definitely worth a visit.
