    I drove an hour to this shop to check it out and possibly buy a $15 record I wanted that was listed…read moreas VG+ on Discogs, as well as to shop for more titles. I could clearly see spending at least $100 there. While waiting for the owner to take care of another customer he aggressively asked if I needed help. I asked if he could retrieve a 2nd hand record he had listed on Discogs for me. This took him less than one minute to find. Upon inspection, I noticed a large amount of mold caked onto the record. I asked the owner if he could clean it off and test on his turntable, which was right behind him. His answer angrily was, "I don't play test records here." I then asked how he could grade this record for sale as VG+ on Discogs.com if it wasn't cleaned and play-tested. I pointed out that certain mold can eat through the vinyl grooves and the only way to tell is to clean and check. Further stating if I bought it on Discogs from him, I would dispute the sale if it played poorly and if he refused to accept a return. I also mentioned he would receive a bad rating for the poor grading. He then aggressively told me to leave the shop. On my way out, I told him that I had owned a record store for 15 years and would never treat a customer like this (I owned a very popular one, too). I then asked him if he was playing the part of John Cusack in "High Fidelity." I also told him I'm a known musician and that he would be called out online for his behavior. His response was to aggressively insist, "to take the f-ing record for free." I told him , "No, I don't want your negative energy in my car or record collection." Then I left. Soon after I left, I checked for another copy on Discogs to order and noticed he had removed the listing. I guess he decided to play-test it himself and realized that the record was not in the condition he had advertised. This gave me the last laugh, as his behavior toward me was truly unnerving. At the very least, he now understands that grading a record VG+ with mold caked on it, without cleaning it first, is a big no-no and also that being nice results in less reviews as such! Hey *Owner*, learn how to treat all people respectfully. I've been in the record industry for a long time--producing music, running a record label since 1990, and managing music distribution companies, etc. You never know whom you are talking to, so be nice to everyone unless they are being rude to you. I was nothing but nice to you... and now look what you made me do.

    If you're my 13 year old cousin, stop reading this right now. All others may proceed…read more When I was a kid, one of my strongest memories was getting my first discman for Christmas and my first few CDs that I called my own. I wanted to give my cousin the same memory, and since vinyl is the the thing these days I got her her own record player. I wanted to get a few albums to go with it so I grilled her on her faves artists then put together a list of some artists she may like based on her interests. Then I took that list and I went to Underground Sound's website to see what was in stock. I landed on two records I think she's going to really like (Tegan and Sara, "The Con" and the first Gorillaz record) and was able to purchase them online for instore pick up. While I love browsing through the stacks, the busy holiday time doesn't leave much time for digging so buying online for pick up was super convenient. And it was great to support a local record shop to boot! Physical media 4ever!!!

    What a great store. I do not understand the comments about the "grumpy" owner. Elmar was kind and…read moreshared his story as well as his extensive knowledge of the record collection. I found his story very interesting and was glad to spend time with someone so knowledgable. The prices are fair. He listens to each album and tells you about the quality. I will return.

    Very pleased with this place! This shop was just a short walk away from the hotel we were staying…read moreat, and being a vinyl junkie I knew I had to see what it was all about. I read some of the reviews about this place before going in, and made sure to stop at an ATM beforehand - they're cash only! Albums in here range from 50's to 90's, and feature a good number of well-known artists. While some of the names I spied in the bins had no albums in that section, I did manage to find an album that's been on my wishlist for the longest time (A-Ha's Hunting High and Low) in decent condition and at a fair $10. There's also a section of country albums and jazz albums, plus posters you can buy off the walls. I only wish I could have taken pictures of the place - it's actually pretty beautiful inside, neatly organized and decorated, but there are signs in the bins and all the walls asking not to take any pictures inside. Which I don't really understand the reason for, but it's not really my business. Either way, I'm glad I stopped in. A nice treat for an out-of-town record collector like myself!

    What a great "find" in Flint. I love used vinyl and Totem's collection is impressive. In addition,…read moreif you are looking for a particular album, Aarontold me they have a warehouse a block away with 50,000 albums in stock. I picked up four albums - all around $7 to $10. Very reasonable. My wife found some used books. We also learned they are having a four-singer night on Jan. 23 and we are planning to make it back there for that. I recommend this place.

    I stopped in this store on Wednesday, March 4th. It is a lovely store with a wide variety of items…read more I was in with a friend to purchase books & possibly anything else we came across. The entire experience was wonderful until we were checking out. There was a nice young lady ringing us up & pleasantly chatting with us. Then, a woman walked in & asked a gentleman behind the counter for food. I believe she was homeless. He told her that they didn't have anything & that she needed to leave. I stayed silent as it was not my place to tell him how to run his business. As she was leaving, I walked to her & met her in the vestibule. I handed her a business card that could put her in touch with an organization designed to help people get back on their feet. When I walked back in, the owner/manager(I'm not entirely certain of his actual position) started complaining to me(and I'm paraphrasing here) that I "shouldn't have given her money[which I didn't], shouldn't have helped her because now she was going to keep coming back because she'll expect more & he now has to be mean to her & tell her 'no'." I looked at him at told him that it goes against my nature to not be kind to someone in need. My friend & I purchased just over $450.00 worth of merchandise. When we were done, we had four large boxes of books & other things. He offered a flatbed cart to help get things out to our vehicle. I said no, because I didn't want anything else from him, nor did I want to give him an opportunity to complain more about me being a decent human being. If a lot of what we bought had not been for other people, I would have told him he could keep it. I will never go back into this store simply because he tried to make me feel bad about being kind to a fellow human being. It's one thing to have a policy asking anyone panhandling to leave. I get that, I understand why policies like that exist & I won't interfere in enforcing those policies. What I have a problem with is trying to shame someone for being kind to a fellow human being. Shortly into our visit (maybe twenty minutes in & we were there for about an hour), we had already planned on coming back another day for more. Now, I will NOT be returning, EVER.
