I am huge fan of his and I wanted to find anywhere that was doing something to honor him. I was told that this place was doing a tribute night playing all of his records. The staff are so friendly and informative about the music they are selling. They have a few seats by the bar where you can order drinks. Super cool record store in a great location! Bow Market is such a cool little market square. Bow Market is all about small businesses and artists. It's located right by Union Square (Green Line). The tribute night was amazing. The vibes were immaculate and it was a great way to connect with fellow D'Angelo fans. We got to laugh, cry, dance and vibe all night. I was able to browse around their entire collection and bought a record since I am starting to DJ. They have so many options at affordable prices. I came here for a tribute night but they have a lifelong customer out of me! I will be back to buy more records.

What most businesses do not realize is, in this era with mailing not being so pricey anymore, the shops have opened up a whole different market. Then there are platforms like amazon and etsy and OfCourse discogs. The same shop now has multiple channels and yes, even those are buying local. Do i come here often? Yes, I do as this is entirely based on emotion and availability but am I extremely satisfied? No.

The space itself is really well organized with a lot of space to browse and vibe out to what they're playing in the store. They also have a ton of discount boxes, so if you have time to browse, you can really find some absolute gems there at excellent prices. The guy who was working there was really cool too and actually let me know that a record I had saved on Discogs had just arrived so I was able to score it. When I shared that I was visiting from Jersey, he shared a place closer to home that was one of his favorite spots to go and source some hard to find records. It was genuine kindness and connection that was really cool and will make me return to MRL next time I'm in town.

I had a pickup order and I called about my order and the staff was so nice and helpful. It was fair priced which was great because online resellers were hiking up the prices to $1,000+. This shop is conveniently located right in the North End. It is very easy to get to by MBTA. I was blown away by the layout and décor of Good Taste! The pickup process was easy and I ended up browsing for about an hour exploring all their music. They have a vast collection of vinyl records, cassettes, CD's, etc. Staff is there to answer any questions you have but not hovering over you. I will be back to buy more music from Good Taste. 5/5!

We are glad…read moreit's still around and we were excited to check it out, him to revisit it and myself to discover it. Unfortunately, now it's overpriced, it has old, dusty (literally) merchandise, pretty dead in there when we stopped in. We came back on a Sunday to revisit since we were walking in the area, but unfortunately it was closed. They close early, at 5 pm on Sundays. Not opened on Mondays. Too bad, customer service is OK, but it's hard to find something affordable and in decent shape to get.

I've been coming here for more than 15 years. I used to visit their old store near the Harvard…read moreKennedy School. Their collection is huge and varied. Their new arrivals bin is by far the largest of all the record stores in a 40 mile radius. I just wish they were a bit cheaper. They're second to Cheapo in terms of prices. Big Dig, Want List, Armageddon and Stereo Jacks are all significantly cheaper in my opinion. I've seen records that go for $3 (with better sleeve conditions) at other stores sell for $12-15 at Planet. I understand the location is probably quite expensive for them. The staff is quiet, but they will help you if you ask them. Regardless, a tremendous store. If you're into records, pay them a visit!

The process was smooth and efficient, thanks to the ability to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

While we were a bit disappointed not to sell everything, the staff was thorough in explaining their selection process and even recommended other places where we might have better luck. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely return.

Not only vinyl, but they have CDs and DVDs, which all the kids are raving about nowadays. (I'm only half joking, there's a resurgence). Best prices hands down! There's a reason they've been in business so long. The owner explained to me that he's happy when a record finds a good a home, so the used stock is usually below Discogs. New stuff is also retail price and there's plenty of both used and new. He's also super helpful and knows exactly where an album is on the shelf if he has it. Online stock is pretty reliable, too, so you can pre-shop. Just email them if you want them to hold something and don't use the online checkout. They also have a shop in Providence and can move stock around quickly if you see something there but can't drive down. Dig here, you won't be disappointed!
