we were downtown while visiting 'home'. Having grown up in Lawrence when you had Kief's and…read moredoing record hunting the first time around I found it rather soul soothing to go into a place again and thumb through a thousand records again. Some are new, some are used. Place is packed with records from one end to the other and you have to navigate in/around the people there which is how it was done in the old days. I remember finding 'The Information Society' in downtown Lawrence as a teen, was funny to me in that I was picking up They Might Be Giants first release, and the Big Science release from Laurie Anderson. Things I did in the late 1980s once before. I hate feeling like some old person saying 'back in my day' but there is a sense of contentment to flip through a huge selection of sounds, seeing things and deciding if based just on the cover if it's worth spending your hard earned money on. Something playing over head selected by someone who works there, finding something new, it was a shared experience that I think we miss now with everything algorithmic and solo. The only downside being that it's hard to balance a solid selection in a physical location, I'm sure compared to 'online' but there's nothing quite like flipping through records and finding something you were looking for. Solid pricing for a retail location in downtown, you're not going to buy 11 records for a penny like Columbia house but you won't be disappointed with the selection and the hunt.

Also a good selection of 45s which you don't always see around the area. If you live in KC and are looking for records, make a day trip to Lawrence and the Love Garden.

Wild Man Vintage is the real deal. If it's not at least 25 years old and carrying the ghost of a…read moremixtape breakup, it didn't make the cut. It bleeds personality--pure, unfiltered vintage glory. Every piece has a story, a vibe, maybe even a past life in a punk band. Dripping with legit retro energy, it doesn't dabble in throwbacks; it mainlines them straight to your soul. First time stepping in, I was hit with a full blast of cool. Effortlessly hip, unapologetically chill, peak Lawrence, Kansas. It's giving local legend, not tourist trap. I didn't buy anything--today. But wandering around was a blast. Every corner packed memories I forgot I had. This isn't just a shop; it's a time machine wrapped in flannel and funk. The guy working was a gem--super sweet. I wanted to give him my business. Next time, I'm not leaving without something that carries its own breakup anthem.

It's huge inside, tons and tons of used vinyl. A small but mighty selection of new records too. I would love to come back with more time on my hands to go through the crates of jazz and classical. Their RSD selection was healthy too. There was a basement with this year's and last year's selections. When I checked out the staff was super friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Looking forward to coming back.

Mills has a ton of inventory, both new and used. What I like is that they have a locked rarities case where you can still flip through the records while the case is locked. I found some cool gems in there. I purchased a couple small things for my daughter but no vinyl purchases for me, unfortunately. I would definitely come back here again if I'm in the area.

The part owner was very friendly and took time to explain how he cleaned each used record before he put them up for sale at his shop. It paid off in the quality of the play back of this record.

The moment I walk threw the door, incense hit my nose and I was completely taken back in time where music and the feel of the times of record players and dancing and hanging out with family overwhelmed me. They had original recordings of all of the historic artist from Roberta Flack to the Beatles. The Grateful Dead, Elvis, Carlos Santana the list goes on. I even spoke with the guy who worked the shop who gave me a history of the place and where I can actually purchase a record player. Seeing all of this brought me back to the sound of vinyl music that is missing today and I'm seriously considering purchasing a record player and being able to collect some of the albums that I grew up listening to. If you are a flower child or an 80s child or even a 60s civil rights or hippie child, this is the store for you. Some memories are worth keeping forever and this is one of those places that captures those memories. If you're ever into collecting priceless recordings of your favorite artist this is the way to go!!

It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!
