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.

Sometimes I go into Mind Cure after payday and make financially irresponsible decisions. I only…read morewanted to snag that The Sicks record, but then I saw the EEL release and got lost in the skulls. Sometimes I go into Mind Cure with my mind made up. I only wanted to see if they had some Thad Jones or bebop for a rainy day. But my mind is never made up. I dig around and find some cheap funk and soul; mostly Parliament, The Isley Brothers, The Staple Singers. I really like what they're playing and ask what it is. Bob Hocko and the Swamp Rats. I'll take that one, too. Thanks. Sometimes I go into Mind Cure with nothing to do and nothing on my mind. I'm in a slump. Do you have music? The answer is always yes. I walk out with things I've never heard of. Or things I've heard of. It doesn't matter. Mind Cure is my favorite place in Pittsburgh. I can get a coffee downstairs and buy a book or a comic upstairs. They have all of the music I want and the shelves are carefully curated and constantly updated. Punk, hardcore, metal, rock, funk, blues, jazz, folk, world, and even a weirdo/indoor kid section for when I'm feeling like a true lump of coal.

That's unacceptable and she was most likely given a $7 value of grenadine at best. I'm sure if they needed to they could have created a custom item and set the pricing but this business instead decided to prey and take advantage on someone who was too Kind to disagree and refuse the order. 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.

They have a fantastic "buy three, get one free" deal that always convinces me to grab just one more book than I originally planned. Plus, the fact that they have an awesome vinyl collection means you can hunt for records and books at the same time. The staff is always laid-back and friendly, making it a staple spot to hit up whenever you're hanging out in Squirrel Hill or downtown.

They have a fairly large selection of used books and records with many tall bookshelves. You never know what you'll find there! A staff member asked us if we had been there before and we said no. He told us that they have a buy three get one free deal and on Saturday nights they have free beers and seltzers. I didn't end up buying anything because I was a little overwhelmed but all the options (you could probably spend hours in there!) but it's a fantastic option and I like that they were open until midnight on Saturday!

In speaking with one of the staff members, it seems as though they are more than happy to special order any specific albums upon request, which is so nice! I strongly recommend stopping by, and cannot wait to return for more music!

Prices are slightly higher compared to other records stores in Western PA and eastern Ohio. If I'm looking for a specific title, this store would not be my first choice but would be an option if having trouble finding a unique title. I would go back but it would not be a planned trip, etc. As of 2/25/26, You may find slightly better deals at Jerry's in Squirrel Hill, Preserving Vinyl in New Kensington, Geos in Youngstown OH, Music To My Ear off Babcock Blvd or Inner Groove in Monaca.

I could spend hours just looking at all of the albums and learning more about music that I love as well as bands and singers I don't know tons about. This is really just a fun shop that carries so much history, art and joy in the form of vinyl.

We stumbled upon this records store while browsing businesses during Little Italy Days. They had…read morethe AC blasting and it was definitely refreshing on a hot summer day. Also refreshing was the large selection of music, decor, and record players for sale. Everything was organized very well and we were surprised to see some things in pristine condition. I'm not sure I encountered an employee the entire time I was there. That was how low key they were, which was nice. No pressure and no one breathing down your neck. I personally don't usually shop for records, but the people I was with thought some of the prices were a little high. I thought the artwork seemed like a good value. The variety is worth stopping in for, for sure.
