I spent just over $100 on 5 used records today and I'm unhappy with what I bought. I'd return these…read morebut I'm leaving town early in the morning. Of the five albums I bought, three were layered in dust and strands of human hair. Another three had felt marker or bic pen writing on the sleeve or on the album label. Why do you put price tags on the sleeve? I paid $30 for a great Queen album that now has a fade mark left where the tag was (photo attached). Another had a price tag over-top a gash on the cover, making it impossible to see until you take the tag off (photo attached)... shady! Spent $35 on a hard to find album, only to find the vinyl loose in the sleeve - put it in an anti-static sleeve! They cost pennies! Emails sent to the business get bounced back. I enjoy buying records at cities I visit, unfortunately I can't come back if this is the quality I can expect.

They don't even have a real search engine and have to have a 'how to search' instructional page! The 3 things I put in my cart to buy were listed as in stock but never shipped because they didn't really have them. Andrew I think was the super rude guy who EVENTUALLY informed me I wasn't getting what I'd paid for. The worst of the worst. BOOOOOO!

My first experience at Barnacle records was great! The owner was super knowledgeable and welcoming…read more In conversation he was able to glean the type of new record player I just ordered and give me a valuable insight about the pros of upgrading to one with a counterweight adjustment arm to minimize the long term damage a non-adjustable arm can possibly do over time if it's pressure is too much. He educated me on a key consideration for my 1st record player without being condescending and he recommended considering the next model up in the line. I went home, took on his advice, and exchanged my order for one with the adjustment dial. Now I have the opportunity to preserve the longevity of my records. I felt the owner just wanted his customers to be happy and have a great experience at thier shop; for these reasons I'll keep going back.

The store seems like it's new, well laid out and clearly displayed. Thankfully the place was clean…read moreand relatively dust free, didn't feel like you were thumbing through in a dank ass basement. Selection was concise and geared towards varied (and sub) genres of rock, punk and metal. Found some choice pieces but definitely left a few in the rack, could have easily spent double of triple what I had budgeted for. Had a feel like a local distro, good 7" selection and frankly, some amazing sales on quality vinyl. They had a smaller selection of compact-discs and some cassette tapes. Worth stopping in for sure

The store apparently is closed. I heard great things. Web site still up, so confusing at best.read more

I didn't know you could find such amazing prices for books honestly. Such a cute spot, spent a couple hours reading inside and then left with 3 new books. I was visiting and will be back.

I lost the name of it that I had written down, will be calling to ask so I can continue giving them my business!
