Picked up a classic record I was wanting and a couple of great finds in the dollar record section (including a Billie Holiday album I had been looking for for some time.) The guys were super nice as well...made me feel welcome right away and were helpful and courteous. This place is a welcome addition to the area - stop in and check them out!

***READ CAREFULLY : OWNER FRAUD AND THEFT***…read more I hate to write something like this, but ethically I feel those choosing this store need to be made aware of where they are spending their time and money. I attended the Tame Impala Deadbeat listening party. At this event it was advertised that there would be a contest to win one of two signed test pressing of the record. During the listening portion of the event, I saw Jody walk over to a young man with his mother sitting near me and ask him to go outside. Through the window I saw Jody ask him to take out his raffle ticket and show her the number. Which he did. At this point I became very suspicious about what was going on. Why would the employee ask a customer for their thicket number to a raffle outside away from everyone? You can see in my text message to a friend of my concern for what I saw between Jody and man in green shirt outside looking at ticket stub . Upon the conclusion of the listening party they gathered up everyone to pull names out of a bucket to see the winning raffle ticket. **WATCH VIDEO** With my concern, I decided to video record Jody pulling the raffle ticket to make sure everything was legitimate. YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY IN THE VIDEO JODY PALMING THE WINNING TICKET. The young man in the green shirt won the record and quickly left the store before everyone else. Jody instantly stepped outside saying her car windows were down and she had to close them. I went outside and asked the young man and his mother why they rigged the raffle. The mother was adamant she and her son knew nothing about it and it didn't happen. To which I showed them the video and the mother replied she was not aware that happened. The young man simply stated he didn't know why she asked him for his ticket number outside. I then confronted Jody as she walked back into the store. She denied it happened. I made it very clear that I had video proof she committed fraud. She simply told me "okay. That's all I'm willing to say." I asked again for her to just please be honest as it was unfair to the dozen other people that gave up their time to attend this event thinking it was a fair contest. Jody looked at me and stated, "Yes, I did it." All I can say to anyone looking to shop here... if you value honest quality business I would think twice. What Jody did is fraud and subject to theft. With the value of this record being close to $2,000 to rig a raffle is criminal and she should be reported to the police. I'm sorry I have to write this...

Store is loaded with terrific merchandise. I am a Grateful Dead guy and I bought 5 albums and a couple of CDs. These were items I had never seen in other stores. The store itself is so much fun.

The shop is tucked away down an alley in the beautiful Bradenton Arts District. Parking was easy despite it being a busy area. I didn't have much time to peruse the store's offerings but I loved the vibe and am looking forward to returning to shop. I didn't have an appointment but was welcomed anyway, I dropped off my records to be assessed and was told I'd hear from the owner. Only a few hours later I got a text from Doug with an offer! So easy and am so glad the records will be rehomed and enjoyed by someone else. Thank you Jerk Dog!

The website and reviews recommended calling ahead to see if the owner, Patrick, was accepting inventory. I wasn't exactly sure where the store was; so while out, I wanted to drive by and check the store location out. We ended up being there an hour before they opened and saw someone in the store. We were quickly greeted by the owner and he opened the store early for us! It's almost overwhelming the amount of inventory he has available. I didn't bring my stuff to sell, but explained the amount and quality and he suggested to bring it in for him to evaluate. I can't say enough about how sweet Patrick was. So helpful and informative and I quickly caught on to his Irish brogue and we dove into a long conversation about Ireland - where I feel like I should hire him to be my guide next time I visit We ended up buying 2 books and he informed us about a charity type bookstore in St. Pete where we could find books very cheap and gave us coupons for them. While I haven't returned yet to bring my items in (which I don't think will sell given his high standards and quality of his items-while mine are used and abused lol) , I do look forward to going back again. If nothing else, just to interact with Patrick. Both my partner and I found him to be so great! If you read this Patrick, Jason and I will definitely adopt you as family

Well I'm breaking that seal. A record vendor in Fort Myers told me about this when I mentioned I was staying in the Punta Gorda area for a few days. It was only fitting I pay a visit to see what's in store. So the store may not be the biggest but the fact they sell records and CDs will light up the bulbs in your shopaholic/music wandering mind. Also you can request records w/ TJ and he'll make a special order for it so it'll be at the store. Just make sure you pick it up. If not it'll just sit there. But that's how I found The Struts' Everybody Wants album just sitting around so that person's loss is my gain! Doubles as a head-shop in addition to records/CDsDVDs so lighters and other accessories are in inventory if that's your thing. Music is my thing which I'm glad they carry. Not the biggest selection but to be in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area is a positive in my eyes!
