Just bought a record player after thirty years without one. Needed records so stop by this place…read moresince I pass by it when traveling downtown. Impressed with the vast amount of records accross all music genres. I love the most of them especially from the sixities to the ninety's. Got a jazz album, a lot of soul music, some pop. I sold off my large music collection in 1991 to move from Atlanta to Louisville. The owner said he has been open since 1978. I will definitely be back to get more music. In the mean time I need to figure out how to change the needle to get better sound. Great records, vast selection, great prices, is music to my ears!

Vinyl; in our digital world..... There is nothing more…read moresatisfying than a vinyl album. The sounds as it spins on the record player. The digital version is something we are forced to learn because of the world and how it changes. Then you have Guest Room Records. Where they are honored to have you featured? You are the reason. The style of the store makes me want to put the black light up and pull the bean bag chair over. The records can be purchased here. New and what a lovely place to attain older vinyl. Vintage records what's better, especially when someone else loved them! Find those here . The record collection is needing more attention! The staff here are very knowledgeable and appreciate the vinyls too. The value is an absolute treasure for that special vinyl you are missing and seeking . Come and join the fun. Your collection will just be even better with that special vinyl addition that you are missing.

I was especially impressed by the staff picks - y'all got some good taste! We spent over an hour here browsing, and I picked up records by 100 gecs, Troye Sivan, and Mitski, while my cousin got a record by The Smiths. That alone should tell you how diverse their collection is! Also, their bathroom had an essential oil diffuser, so it smelled amazing, so brownie points for that too!

He was playing some jazz that made shopping super chill- never felt pressured or rushed. Literally just found this down the road from our AirBnb and was happy I stopped in. I hate to say this, but his pricing was super low on some of the stuff I grabbed- was really surprised he wasn't charging more but I appreciate what he is doing there. I almost paid him more $ just out of guilt...ha. Hoping to stop back in in the future when I pass through Louisville again.

Yesterday I walked inside this location for the first time as my oldest daughter wanted to "browse" for shirts. Which we all know teenagers don't "browse" they "want". The store itself is I'd say on the medium side to smaller side. It is super cramp and tight in there. If you commit down an aisle you have to see your way through. There isn't an detours or turning around it's so tightly packed in there. Selection is what it is. It's a DAV that as many know they work with what donations they receive. So you kinda have to walk in with an open mind unless clothes shopping. But even then I wouldn't anticipate being to specific. All in all a typical DAV store. This one is kinda smallish or maybe it just felt that way just because it was anxiety inducing cramped in there.

I bought a couple records and both were priced as they should be in retail. The gentlemen working there, which was the owner I believe, was really knowledgeable and gave me a few bucks off, which is always a huge plus, lol. His selection was pretty good and organized as well. He has some records that I don't see too often. All in all, if I'm in the area again, I would definitely go back to this place.

A few years ago, I was gifted a turntable, and I've been slowly recollecting some vinyl since then. The store sits on a busy corner, it's street parking only. It's a well organized and inviting space with displays of books records and other goodies. It's hard to describe, but it's awfully cool. Some interesting vintage items for decor. I think there are three rooms total. It's easy to find a section of whatever you are looking for or just browse because it is so well organized as far as the records go. They have an interesting collection of vintage books that you just don't see anywhere. It was getting close to closing time and the proprietor let me know that in a polite way that didn't feel that he was rushing me. He greeted me when I got there by the way he was friendly without being pushy. I purchased three vinyls and they were in excellent shape and well worth the money. I'm sure I will return.

If I had more money, I would definitely have bought some records. This place is definitely worth a visit and if you have the means to support a local, small business, you absolutely should!

They also have lots of vintage clothing including shirts, jackets, coats, dresses, and other odds and ends. Prices seem to be about on par with online prices, so some items are on the pricey side. There are still plenty of good deals. The employees were friendly and very helpful. Definitely recommend this place if you're into records or vintage clothing!

For nearly 30 years me and my friends have jokingly referred to the "LP Prison" maintained by…read moreElectric Ladyland, which consisted of records that the proprietor decided at some point were "rare" or unusual and which were then assigned circa 1985 peak prices and placed far from customers behind a very tall counter along several of the establishment's inner walls. For the most part, the imprisoned LPs have remained there untouched as time passed. As you might imagine, in several decades' some of those records became worthless with respect to the peak sticker price, while still others became far more valuable with respect to the old sticker price. Nowadays, the business is being run by several young women who're trying to update the store in many ways (it's safe to say that the majority of business here in recent years is from the "head shop/smoke shop" aspect that the business always had). As part of the new moves at E.L., I am happy to report that "LP Prison" has been busted open wide and the formerly untouchable vinyl is now liberated into a large bin on the Bardstown Road side window. I bought nearly all the really good stuff (having spent close to $500 on two recent lazy Memorial Day weekend afternoons). However, there are still a lot of decent LPs that I already have and/or don't care to own...and these records are nearly almost all in near-mint condition. VERY PLAYABLE! Rush over there now and stock up. Also, about those prices. I was jesting about them being priced in 1985 but suffice to say it's been a while. As such, prices are VERY soft on records now and you need only utter the word "discount" to get a steep bargain. If a record seems really overpriced, recommend you look it up on Discogs and with your research in hand make an offer based on the evidence. Welcome back, Electric Ladyland! I have hopes that you'll keep moving into the right direction and my regular stops will continue to help me build the best collection possible.

I was told by a friend of mine about Great Escape as a store in Louisville that I should certainly check out and well, after taking a trip recently, I absolutely agree. Great Escape is a store that might be a bit of a sensory overload for you if you're the kind of nerd like I am that also has a fine appreciation for vinyl as well as comics and even classic video games. Vintage shops are some of my favorite places to check out and Great Escape is now my go-to place for such items. Upon entering, you will immediately take a trip to wherever your nerdy imagination desires whether it be heading towards their insanely impressive collection of Star Wars toys or the amazing display of vintage vinyl records and music on a variety of other platforms. Great Escape also has a great selection of video games from just about any era of gaming from Atari all the way to the current generation of gaming which as a video game collector certainly was pleasing. The assortment of comics will keep you here flipping through them for hours as Great Escape has a number of classic stories that should please any comic book fan and what's even more impressive is the prices are extremely reasonable from discounts on graphic novels to a $.99 section of comics which provides a wide assortment that any fan, young or old, can appreciate. If you are looking for the place to shop for vintage comics, movies, music and more, look no further than the Great Escape as it will captivate you with the sheer amount of treasures you will find and even some you didn't know you wanted.
