    Record
    Ken H.

    A worthwhile record can be found here. The main wrinkle is as follows: one must be willing to look very deliberately and carefully. I suggest contemplating the light in the heart of the candle before driving to Mr.C's. I can attest to having found a few quality records during my visits to Mr. C's. I recently picked up a Juan Atkins mix that is fairly sought after in the house music world. Don't sleep on Mr. C's. The good record can still be had here.

    The first thing you need to know is they have extremely limited hours right now, basically Fri, Sat, Sun and only in the afternoons. They also don't have a working phone number where you can leave a message nor does it state their hours. I therefore had to drive there on Monday afternoon to see the sign on the door. So I get down there on a Saturday, where parking is kind of challenging, to look for a very specific album. Everything is in alphabetical order regardless of genre. I didn't see what I was looking for at first, but as I was browsing the rest of the small store, a nice lady asked if I was looking for something specific. I told her and another gentlemen said we should have that. Sure enough, they had the album. Compared to eBay, it was much pricier, as in almost double or triple at $18. However, I had it immediately in my hot little hands and was able to truly gage the condition. All their albums come in a non-tight plastic covering and are well protected from fingerprints and other oily damage. (On a side note - I saw a sign that said "Food and Drink Welcome" which is very different from all the antique stores in Downtown Orange.) I left happy that I found the album I was looking for, and that I was able to support a local business. There seemed to be a steady stream of customers coming in, but like most record stores, most are just browsing for fun. I did see another customer buy something as I entered which made me feel good. One thing for certain is if your looking for a used 45's - they have 1000's! They also had a few band shirts in front. It's a great addition to Downtown Orange.

    Floor to ceiling shelves packed full of records, all varieties! A great shop to check out!!!

    Visited this shop on a whim solely based on the reviews being a place for "rare" records. What I found is a bunch of dad and grandad records, titles I would find in the dollar bin at the shops at home. The people working were super nice and welcoming but the prices $20 to $25 per record are ludicrous. There are no new releases or anything more than what one would find in a bargain bin.

    I have never bought a bad record here. Quality is always great. I grew up in Orange and I visit this special place each time I come home.

She was really helpful and knowledgeable about the product and walked him through every step on how to use them and what he would see. She was also very helpful when it comes to the sizing of the glasses and warning us that you would not be able to return or exchange for size. My boyfriend absolutely love the experience and although they are very expensive, he still walked out with them. He has had them for about three months now and he still uses them every so often on our weekends he hasn't had any issues with them.

Every turn was a whole collection of either movies, toys, cds, vintage collectibles. Looking in their music section I took a shot in the dark and asked if they had any Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The owner Steve and his wife (super friendly people) checked inventory. They searched all over high and low. I didn't want to send them on a goose chase so I said no worries. Steve took my number down then texted me 30 minutes later after finding the CD. I was super stoked. Just talking to them it made me feel at home and welcomed being a nerd or someone who cherishes the past. Great people with just as great customer service.
