My personal favorites were all the stickers ( they sell for about $10 each, a fair price for the quality in my opinion ) But what sold me on this store was that outstandingly warm welcome when I walked into the store, "Welcome to heaven!" ...wow, this guy has the most friendly and enthusiastic energy I have ever seen and the atmosphere alone is worth a visit. This store has a fair selection of eyecandy with a rough pricerange of about ~$10-130 ish from what I gathered. with as warm and welcome of an atmosphere in the store I would pay a visit just for that alone

That's unacceptable and she was most likely given a $7 value of grenadine at best.

Shame!

The record store is impeccable with new finds as well as rare. I've seen quite a few bands play here as well from local to touring and national acts. Space is small but packs the people without being uncomfortable. Acoustics are good. The addition of the bar was a smart move. Affordable prices with alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic beverages. This is totally a place I'd want to visit if I were on vacation somewhere. Glad I don't have to leave the city to do so.

I recently shopped inside this store. I appreciated that the two employees kindly greeted me but gave me space and time to look around on my own. I did not find any books to purchase this time, but I did pick out two pop-up greeting cards. The cashier correctly processed my transaction. This store contains a large section for children's books, so if you have any children, then I encourage you to shop here. Furthermore, if you are interested in attending events such as conversations with authors or children's story-times, then be sure to visit this store's website to read about upcoming in-store events.

Jerry's Records made me fall in love with my record player. I couldn't have asked for a better…read morestore to help me build my collection. I can always find something I'm interested in for $10 or less. Jerry's is a third place to me. It's a must visit every time I'm back in Pittsburgh! Jerry's is estimated to have over 500,000 records. Here's what I've learned from my two years in Pittsburgh to help sort through the collection: 1. Best sellers are located upfront. Normally there's a few of each artist: The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rush, Aerosmith, and many more. Price range between $20-60 2. For people starting out, Jerry's has a lot of well known albums and artists for $7-8 a record. Common finds: Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Santana, REO Speedwagon, Jefferson Starship/Jefferson Airplane, Elton John, STYX, and Chicago. 3. Huge Christmas selection in the $3-20 range. They likely have what you're looking for. My boyfriend's mom was looking for Christmas with Mitch for many years. She found 8 copies at Jerry's Records in less than 15 minutes. 4. There's a large Broadway and musical soundtrack section tucked in the corner down the first hallway on the right. Normally they are about $5-15. 5. Before checking out, look at the record and sleeve for damages. From experience, most priced above $7 play really well. They may have a few crackles, but a quick wash takes most of that away. Things in the $3 range are risky.

This record store is gigantic and maybe my favorite thing is that there are a couple of different…read moredivided rooms, and different music was playing in the main room (which includes rock/pop, alternative, and folk alongside all of their bestsellers) and then if you venture off into the well-stocked jazz room -- through a small corridor, you are greeted by a whole new acoustic vibe. The records here for the most part seem to be vintage. I didn't find a number of things I was looking for -- perhaps they were too new to be found here or a little obscure. But, I did notice that they have a very large collection of musicals and film soundtracks (the former of which I am a major fan). The rows and rows of what I think is their back stock not in the main center of the store are also a sight to behold. There are also a lot of hodgepodge bins at the front of the newest and "hottest" arrivals, as well as employee picks. I'm sure I'll be back here again. There must be 50K records in here. It is a bit overwhelming. Also, I will lastly say that the prices for the majority of items I saw while perusing are rather affordable and reasonable.

It is a little hard to find (Hense the Secret) but look for Rockin Cat Cafe and its to the left, up a flight of steps. I didn't see any disabled entrances, so keep that in mind if you visit and need accommodations. The shop is quiet but the woman who helped us was pleasant and answered any questions we had. They had anime music playing in the background but not so loud that it was overbearing. Price wise it's on par with Barnes and Noble and 2nd Charles but the selection is much better and varied/unique. I ended up just buying a good luck charm but plan to visit again when we're in the area.
