This is one of the strangest record stores I've been in, which is apparent from the moment you walk…read morein. It's a rather large space with records shelved everywhere, on every wall, on every surface in fact except the ceiling. There is nothing new here, and the only nod to "record store conventions" is a small selection of newly arrived used records right up front. They have one of the largest selections of records I've seen at any record store anywhere, but the organization is a bit disheveled, so be prepared to spend a couple (enjoyable) hours here. Once you work your way to the back of the store, you'll notice a dimly lit staircase going downstairs. You'll think about whether or not you're supposed to go down there, but when you finally decide to, you'll find another equally large space in the basement, filled even more haphazardly with much more obscure stuff. You'll see a corner in the back with thousands of records tossed into a heap on the ground, and you'll find really obscure genres and collections from vinyl's infancy down here. This is my favorite part to visit, even if it can be frustrating navigating through it all. The pricing in general is fair. I get the impression the prices are determined on a whim without any research in advance. On any given trip I find records that are both greatly overpriced and insanely cheap. I tend to ignore Discogs when I'm here and just go with the flow. If you're in OTR this is a must visit, even if you don't buy anything. And when you're done, stop next door for a coffee at Iris, which is owned by the same folks.

I cannot begin to explain how excited I was when I heard the news that there was a record store in…read moreCincinnati that had somehow slipped under my radar. So excited, that I am ashamed of how long it took me to actually get down to Another Part of the Forest and check it out for myself, a shame that was only compounded after I completed what was truly a good record store outing. Although Another Part of the Forest is located directly on Main Street, it can still be very easy to miss during the day time (at night you have the luxury of being able to see the records through the window), so for any future visitors just look for Iris Book Cafe and it is literally directly next door to that. Once I made it inside the store, I was immediately struck by two things, how cramped it was and how friendly the owner was. As I mentioned, the place is very cramped due to the immense amount of vinyl stuffed into this small space. Although the selection was pretty good, I have to admit that the physical quality of the records here are not as high as they would be if you found them at Shake It or Everybody's. However, the prices very reflect what it is you are buying and what condition it is in. What really made this a four star review for me and not a three star however, was the friendliness of the owner. I didn't catch his name but he greeted us with a smile and a hello as soon as we walked in the door and you could tell he was genuinely excited we were showing interest in his shop. On top of this, I had about $20 work of records I had picked out and he knowingly sold them to me for only $15. I have NEVER had anyone at any record store knowingly sell me something for less than what I was willing to pay. I hope that the friendliness and devotion shown by this man and Another Part of the Forest allow this store to thrive in what is becoming one of my favorite Cincinnati neighborhoods for years to come.

The service was really nice. There are a lot of older books and not as many newer books. I did think that the sections were well organized and alphabetized so it made it easier to search through.

The store has been in business since 1976 and offers CDs and vinyls of every genre of music. It's packed with options so make a list of what you're hunting for and give yourself time to hunt. The owner of the store was friendly enough, making sure to greet us and let us wander the shop on our own. Prices were clearly marked (much appreciated). It was fun to admire the posters on the walls and ceilings. No finds for us today but would certainly recommend anyone who loves records stores to make a visit.

Although Cincinnati has a few amazing independent record stores scattered throughout the city,…read moreMole's Record Exchange is not one of them. In fact, Mole's is probably my least favorite record store I have been too, and believe me, I have been to a few of them. In all fairness, I have only visited the store once but I was so annoyed with this visit I vowed never to return. The first thing I noticed when I walked in is the place was completely empty, except the guy working behind the counter and there was no music playing. I found this to be weird, considering we were inside of a store that sells nothing but music. Secondly, and the thing that really made me not want to come back is the guy who was working there was extremely rude. From the moment my friend and I walked in he was criticizing me for the band hoodie I was wearing. While he continued to rip on me for wearing said hoodie, he tried to get me to buy a bunch of movies I was looking at by continuing to tell me how good of a deal they were and so on when they really were nothing special. Now, I expect people in music stores to be a tad snobby about music but this was just ridiculous. Yeah, I might only be a 20 something but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate music. Sorry cynical old man working the counter, but you won't be getting any of my money! Take my advice, stay away from Mole's and spend your money at one of the other great stores in the area. I promise you that the selection and treatment will be way better elsewhere.
