This store is a GEM!…read more I've been collecting records since the mid-1970s, managed record stores and I used to work in entertainment fir a couple of decades. I even went to the Grammies one year with Rage Against the Machine. The year Dylan won the Grammy, 1997 or 98. Great after party, btw. But I digress. Located on the site of an older, much more modest music store from much earlier, the current owners have remodeled and built up the floor space upstairs and downstairs substantially. 1). this store is packed with vinyl. The bins are full of vinyl, and the walls are covered with collector's vinyl. Stuff even I have not seen. 2). Their Jazz bins are awesome, full of great stuff, including an LP by the late, great Wardell Gray! 3). The Rock Bins are rolling with every kind of music, including folk, rock, new wave, punk, newer rock, you name it, it's probably here. 4). Downstairs is a load of classical music. Amazing! 5). The person running the store, Andrea, was super nice, professional, courteous and kind. Very helpful and personable. Also, knew her stock and offered many suggestions. She and her husband operate this store. I could go on, but in sum, this is by far the best used vinyl record store in all of Philadelphia and it's right here in Delaware County!!!! Also, they have a forty seat amphitheater for live concerts next door! Very proud to write this review. An epic store.

Wednesday - June 5, 2013 - 2PM…read more Before the 8 track, cassettes, CDs, mp3, and streaming, music was heard on vinyl. A "45" was the familiar vehicle for listening to music. 45s are globally available primarily through mail order or the internet. I maintain a small stash of 45s and still cherish them. I've ordered 45s through the internet with pleasing results. Billy Harner released a 45 in 1969 titled "I struck it rich". The song was available through the internet with a variety of prices. Val Shively had the record AND the cheapest price. Although the song was available trough Val Shively web site, I decided to visit the store. In a word, overwhelming. Records lined the walls by the thousands. I wondered how they managed to find anything. The record was presented in good shape. It played just as I remembered on the local AM radio almost 45 years ago. I suggest you call Val's place to verify that your "memory" is available. Browsing is simply impossible and in fact, discouraged. If you visit the store, I believe you'll be amazed.
