Been to a lot of vinyl stores around the US and UK. It's like the one thing I tend to do when…read morevisiting cities. This one is smack dab in the middle of a great little downtown area called Royal Oak. Cute shops, walkable, cafes, so I guess I had my hopes high the store owners would know what a prized spot they had, next to Detroit, and one of the few vinyl stores in the area. They'd make a killing with the right stock and atmosphere. Bummer. Mediocre on both fronts. Came to Yelp to see that lots of people feel the same way. They don't seem very interested in embodying the audiophile atmosphere of the classically great vinyl shops. They have the sound blaring nicely. But their stock is bare bones. Almost no used high desirability issues. Their jazz section was the most interesting. But dang, almost nothing you'd find on DisCogs for ten bucks cheaper. The store assistance was just one guy in the back who seemed unapproachable. But really once seeing the stock and prices, there wasn't much to bother him for. Maybe it just doesn't have the high patronage to support a lot of effort especially with high rents for retail spaces. I'm sure it's hard to run a business these days. And then guys like me who have never ran a vinyl store come onto Yelp and leave crappy reviews. It must kinda suck. So I'll just say this place is good. Three stars is good. But someone could invest some money and time and make this a very very popular music store. Someone with money has gotta be living in all these new condos in this town. And vinyl is selling more than in decades. UHF could have a renaissance with some TLC. Maybe I'll return later this year and will see it's a different situation in Summer. I wish them well. Support your local vinyl shops!

Even aside from the above stuff that, well, makes more sense, there's a table and wall full of incense and a separate sort of smoke shop/head shop within. And if you were worried about not having a device to play your vintage audio formats, they have plenty of those too. Shop staff was super friendly and helpful. They have at least one shop dog - I may have seen a second. She could not be less bothered by visitors. A final note of importance, they're having a moving sale at the time of this writing. When I asked, they weren't sure where they're moving to yet, but expect to go at the end of the year.

The price was quite reasonable, I guess I'll have to pay more elsewhere, what a bummer, I enjoy that everything is organized , sections labeled so you can get straight to what you want to find if it's available, great international section too, hope to be able to make it back there to see what they still have.

-------Update------ Andy from Ripe Records reached out to me…read moretoday looking to make things right. We had a long talk and we both agreed that we could have handled the situation better. Andy informed me that when he opened up his new location, he had changed his POS system and was unble to readily access the old gift card data and didn't fully understand the changes in the laws regarding gift cards. We all have had off days. He agreed to honor the gift card. He's not a bad guy and I'd like to chalk this up to a misunderstanding. He's a small business owner and im glad that we could resolve this issue amicably.

BEWARE! YOU MAY BE ASSAULTED HERE!! I WAS ASSAULTED BY A FEMALE EMPLOYEE (dressed in all black in…read morephotos below) AS I ENTERED THE ESTABLISHMENT HALLOWEEN OCTOBER 31st, 2025 (I have pictures and videos, as well). The video surveillance should have also captured the moment I was bear hugged, dragged through a dark hallway, and eventually thrown into a white sign outside. I received bruises and luckily nothing major happened like landing wrong on my head and getting a concussion and possible death (should I have had a bad landing after being tossed by this lady). As she grabbed me and before she threw me to the ground I pled with her that she did not need to do this, but she was very angry (probably because she was working on Halloween and saw me with 3 beautiful girls and she couldn't handle how well the costume looked on me - just speculating here.) I went to this place on Halloween 2025, by the time I was assaulted it was November 1st, 2025 because it was past midnight. I was with 3 other girls (I am a male). We waited in line to get in. I was dressed up as Spider-Man and the girl I was with was Catwoman. I am of Western European descent and maybe that was the issue, I was racially profiled by the woman hostess/bouncer because she was letting in the rest of the people except me and my crew. I proceeded to take my phone out and record her after the assault and take pictures of her so I could later report her. On top of that, there were gunshots nearby so I decided to uber home and report this later instead of right away with the owner. I am going to follow up with this place to make sure we can come to some understanding that assaulting customers is not ok and I will continue to spread the word about my experience if I am not adequately satisfied with their resolution (if there is one). Again, this place is bad news and you should stay away. I am willing to change this review if an apology and some sort of incentive is offered.
