I used to work here back in 79... I traveled around various…read morestates selling paraphernalia to head shops... Some crazy times indeed! This is still such a wonderful place with a great selection of music and so many cool retail items. And expertly curated and displayed. Still, my most favorite record store I've ever been to. Moved to California 30+ years ago and every time I'm in town I gotta take a peek and do that whole nostalgia trip in my head-if only the walls could talk, OH MY! I love the creaking floors as you walk across the showroom remembering those sounds heard in the basement packing my own orders to ensure in stock items were shipped. The cast of characters that visited and cool musicians- one day Devo came popping through handing out 3-D buttons with those flower pot looking things on their heads and strange jumpsuits. "It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead" This trip, my daughter and her fiancé came through-my daughter wore my old Electric Fetus company jacket. Old school blue satin-like with my name, embroidered and a beautiful logo with pussy willows or something embroidered on the back. True classic. The nice staff was very friendly and enamored with the jacket and the manager took some pictures which gave my daughter a huge tickle. I think the cat's name is Bob Fuchs and he's been there since the late '80s and a good ambassador of the brand and so kind to indulge us.

Decent selection but not as good as Electric Fetus…read more Cheapo Records is a music store with lots of CDs, Vinyls, and other music related records. Personally, not my favorite but there's some good movie records at a decent rate. The interior is large so there's a ton to choose from, but personally it is more on the older side in terms of what they have in stock. Maybe not the best for someone who likes electronic music but definitely more so for a pop or rap type enjoyer. Prices are what you'd expect for a record store. Nothing that screams great value (except for the classical vinyls that everyone has) or the occasional CDs but none that stood out to me. Overall, they were friendly when checking out. 4 stars is appropriate for this place.

I brought in a few boxes and was told it would take the day to go through. Later they called and told me they were keeping some and others they didnt want and to come and pick up the cash and records they didn't want.... I went in to pick up what they had rejected.. I was handed the cash and told to take the crate. I even said (as should be on their cameras!) I brought my items in boxes, are they sure I should take the crate? They insisted it would be fine for me to take... well.. found these messages in my filtered "unknown senders" today... lovely business guys. Thanks for the horrific insults because of your mistake... and thanks for the lovely curse. Please don't stalk and harass me at 1am because your mad your employee made a mistake. You had no reason to make the accusations and insults you did other than your own fears and insecurities as you're up late at night thinking and obsessing over me. This is not acceptable behavior on so many levels. I can't believe I have to say this to an adult. Every action has a consequence. Had I checked my filtered messages sooner perhaps we could have avoided this childish outburst and I wouldn't have known this side of you. Perhaps you have an amazing business but unfortunately I'll now have to warn people about you. It's not a good business or life practice to make assumptions about people, especially such negative ones, because your assessment could be incredibly incorrect. You don't know who a stranger is and who they might know, better to assume the best and always treat everyone with respect. You're definitely doing a great job of being authentic to the world about who you truly are, perhaps you should spend some of your sleepless nights focusing inwards instead.

I gathered that the goal is for it to feel like a scavenger hunt, and that you may find some unexpected treasures along the way, but my group found it kind of frustrating as it made it difficult to navigate.

I would return to explore their puzzles more, and did stumble upon a book by a favorite author, so all in all left happy. If you're a person who's open to the adventure of just exploring and being curious about what you may find, this could be a great place to visit!
