When I first walked in I was a little overwhelmed. It's pretty small and there is stuff everywhere! Some collectibles, lots of cassettes and a nice vinyl section. I found two records I really wanted, one was overpriced for my taste and I bought the other. An obscure German metal band from the 80's. There was a scratch that concerned me, so the owner of the store put it on the turntable and it played right thru it. I have no doubt there were other gems in the store but I was short on time (the wife was waiting in the car).

Once inside you'll discover this place is about as big as your living room. Near the entrance, you'll find lots of recent arrivals to sift through and most of the records do have a grading mark on them and are individually priced. There really is a very good selection here and it does not look at all picked through. The rare and expensive stuff is featured on the walls and off to the side there is a small bargain room where you can pick up records from $.99 to $3. What you will not find here is vintage equipment or inner archival vinyl sleeves, but they do have the outer plastic sleeving. They do have an upstairs where they have music lessons. Prices here are pretty much in line with what I've seen at other well to do record stores. If you're a serious vinyl collector, this place should be on your list. Informative photos included.
