He was playing some jazz that made shopping super chill- never felt pressured or rushed. Literally just found this down the road from our AirBnb and was happy I stopped in. I hate to say this, but his pricing was super low on some of the stuff I grabbed- was really surprised he wasn't charging more but I appreciate what he is doing there. I almost paid him more $ just out of guilt...ha. Hoping to stop back in in the future when I pass through Louisville again.

I didn't make a purchase, but from the records that I looked at, the prices were pretty fair. If I'm in the Louisville area again in the future, I am definitely going to stop in.

Impressed with the vast amount of records accross all music genres. I love the most of them especially from the sixities to the ninety's. Got a jazz album, a lot of soul music, some pop. I sold off my large music collection in 1991 to move from Atlanta to Louisville. The owner said he has been open since 1978. I will definitely be back to get more music. In the mean time I need to figure out how to change the needle to get better sound. Great records, vast selection, great prices, is music to my ears!

The digital version is something we are forced to learn because of the world and how it changes. Then you have Guest Room Records. Where they are honored to have you featured? You are the reason. The style of the store makes me want to put the black light up and pull the bean bag chair over. The records can be purchased here. New and what a lovely place to attain older vinyl. Vintage records what's better, especially when someone else loved them! Find those here . The record collection is needing more attention! The staff here are very knowledgeable and appreciate the vinyls too. The value is an absolute treasure for that special vinyl you are missing and seeking . Come and join the fun. Your collection will just be even better with that special vinyl addition that you are missing.

I was especially impressed by the staff picks - y'all got some good taste! We spent over an hour here browsing, and I picked up records by 100 gecs, Troye Sivan, and Mitski, while my cousin got a record by The Smiths. That alone should tell you how diverse their collection is! Also, their bathroom had an essential oil diffuser, so it smelled amazing, so brownie points for that too!

My friend and I did some record hunting while we were in Louisville last month and this place was…read moreone of our faves. I bought a couple records and both were priced as they should be in retail. The gentlemen working there, which was the owner I believe, was really knowledgeable and gave me a few bucks off, which is always a huge plus, lol. His selection was pretty good and organized as well. He has some records that I don't see too often. All in all, if I'm in the area again, I would definitely go back to this place.

A few years ago, I was gifted a turntable, and I've been slowly recollecting some vinyl since then. The store sits on a busy corner, it's street parking only. It's a well organized and inviting space with displays of books records and other goodies. It's hard to describe, but it's awfully cool. Some interesting vintage items for decor. I think there are three rooms total. It's easy to find a section of whatever you are looking for or just browse because it is so well organized as far as the records go. They have an interesting collection of vintage books that you just don't see anywhere. It was getting close to closing time and the proprietor let me know that in a polite way that didn't feel that he was rushing me. He greeted me when I got there by the way he was friendly without being pushy. I purchased three vinyls and they were in excellent shape and well worth the money. I'm sure I will return.

For nearly 30 years me and my friends have jokingly referred to the "LP Prison" maintained by…read moreElectric Ladyland, which consisted of records that the proprietor decided at some point were "rare" or unusual and which were then assigned circa 1985 peak prices and placed far from customers behind a very tall counter along several of the establishment's inner walls. For the most part, the imprisoned LPs have remained there untouched as time passed. As you might imagine, in several decades' some of those records became worthless with respect to the peak sticker price, while still others became far more valuable with respect to the old sticker price. Nowadays, the business is being run by several young women who're trying to update the store in many ways (it's safe to say that the majority of business here in recent years is from the "head shop/smoke shop" aspect that the business always had). As part of the new moves at E.L., I am happy to report that "LP Prison" has been busted open wide and the formerly untouchable vinyl is now liberated into a large bin on the Bardstown Road side window. I bought nearly all the really good stuff (having spent close to $500 on two recent lazy Memorial Day weekend afternoons). However, there are still a lot of decent LPs that I already have and/or don't care to own...and these records are nearly almost all in near-mint condition. VERY PLAYABLE! Rush over there now and stock up. Also, about those prices. I was jesting about them being priced in 1985 but suffice to say it's been a while. As such, prices are VERY soft on records now and you need only utter the word "discount" to get a steep bargain. If a record seems really overpriced, recommend you look it up on Discogs and with your research in hand make an offer based on the evidence. Welcome back, Electric Ladyland! I have hopes that you'll keep moving into the right direction and my regular stops will continue to help me build the best collection possible.

Not exactly sure where to begin with Electric Ladyland. For many years I have passed this place…read moreand never really knew what it was until a recent visit with a friend. We went in after an early lunch at nearby Twig and Leaf. There is private and street parking, we were able to park in the parking lot beings it wasn't very busy. Going in, it is actually mostly a smoke shop with old used records as well as some other things in there. We did browse around for a bit but, left empty handed beings somethings were overpriced. Did like the smell of the incense burning inside the place. Although this is a neat little store, it's not a place we'd venture to very often.

I love enjoying my coffee from P&TY and browsing the records. The selection is not as large as a huge music store, but they have a good variety. The staff in the front of the coffee shop is there to assist you when needed. For example, I wore a KISS shirt into P&TY and upon placing my drink order was told the number of KISS records they had in the back, and asked to please let him know if I needed anything at all. Mr. Friendly definitely seems like an accurate description to me!

Almost always we walk out empty-handed, which is a combination of the item pricing and me not being the target market. I don't think I appreciate the "vintage" style if the item isn't in great shape.

Easy street parking and helpful team members if you have questions about their selection.

Also my fella snagged me a book by local author when Butcher Cabin Books did a pop up at Gore Club one night when I wasn't able to go (he knows the way to my heart is books and cocktails...). So a visit to BCB was high on my to-do-sometime-soon list. One weekend afternoon, after a drop in at Unorthodox up the street, I decided it was time. It is very small inside, but they make very good use of that space. There were quite a few people in there the whole time I was there. They have nice categorization and organization. And having learned from my book club that there are a lot of different kinds of horror books, I quickly had to rein myself in. I allowed myself to get 2 books, so of course I left with buying 3. Book math. But it was just that...they had the editions of the books that I really REALLY wanted and hadn't seen yet at other spots. And a really lovely anniversary cover version of another book. AND a book about our parents dying from another local author. SO LOCAL in fact, that she was actually working the register that day and offered to personalize and sign my book for me! How cool! I also love that this is a family and female owned small business! Ladies supporting local ladies! I will absolutely be back.
