Every decade of music or genre is represented and the more you dig the more gems you'll find The people that work there are down to earth, knowledgeable and nice, and from the moment you meet them you know how passionate they are about music. They are very diligent in ordering records for you. There are tapes, CDs, records, books, magazines, 45s, 12 inch singles, collectible items, and a great collection of note worthy new arrival records displayed on the wall. In my opinion it is the best record store in Madison not just because of the store and stock but because they aren't money hungry and trying to rip you off. They have the fairest prices and I love that they understand the importance of taking out the record, looking at it, and playing it before you buy. The turntables they provide are very helpful. Highly recommended!

I can take my 11 year old daughter here and find stuff from the 90's that she likes, then turn around and find a rare Smiths LP at a great price! The owners and staff are always playing something I can hum along with, and if you can't find it, just ask they will help. Shop local!!

I grew up in Madison, went there for years, though no longer live in Madison (but visited back in December). I always preferred the B-side on State Street for the prices and moreover, the vibe.

My favorite record store ever!…read more Absolutely insane selection of records; wonderfully eclectic, well-priced, and diverse. The owner (and his cutie pie dog!) are so so chill, and the in-store music is always as good as the records they hold. Even their speaker system is fantastic-- great volume, impressive depth, pretty highs and hearty lows. Multiple times I've came in to browse and left with a new recommendation. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but every shelf is packed perfectly. Long gone are the days of straining my fingers to pull apart 50 vinyl records on a shelf that's only supposed to hold 30. And we're talking perfect browsing height too! No sore backs, tired fingers, or fatigued ears. A brilliant little stop, that I cannot recommend enough. If you love music, you will love this store.

Definitely a must-stop in Bay View if you love music!
