    A true Nashville gem! If your a collector or want to sell some records, cds, movies, classics this is the place to go! They have a huge variety!

    Stopped in driving home out of state and picked up some CDs at a good price. That was the medium I prioritized, and I found some singles, a promo, and an advance CD I hadn't seen before. It was also nice to see a broad range of genres. Prices in general were slightly better than other record stores I'd been to, which motivated me to buy. Layout-wise, for CDs, it was fairly confusing to figure out where all genres started and ended (I did ask an associate for a category I couldn't find, and be very nicely directed me). It is a little cramped to navigate in the CD area with medium-high traffic. The parking situation also isn't very ideal since its off the street on a busy road (I actually exited my car from the passenger side, because I was afraid I was going to get hit), so keep that in mind. For the selection though, it is a recommend for me!

    Wow. If you're claustrophobic, this probably isn't the store for you! I couldn't believe how close the rows of records were to each other! Definitely a great collection (lots of fun things to be found), and good prices. Definitely a fun place to explore!

    Shop here for great second-hand records!

    Here goes my review of a place my wife and I have been shopping at for many years... Phonoluxe is a cool record shop here in Nashville on Nolensville Road just off the 440 beltway. Tons upon tons of vinyl here, almost entirely second hand. If you want to comb through a bunch of new stuff and new releases, this place ain't your jam. Some folks here are laying into the staff for being snobby and unfriendly. C'mon, folks. The dudes that work here are nice blokes that love music, and if you ask them a question, they will answer it. My wife and I have befriended several of these guys and they are good dudes. If you need to be coddled, you probably need therapy, not a record store. I have found many gems in this place over the years, and if you hit Nashville to vinyl shop, you MUST make this one of the stops on your crawl. You won't get a Dum Dums sucker, but you'll get good service and probably some great records for your collection.

    Phonoluxe is a moderately sized record store, but I'm not sure what they'll do in ten or fifteen years when their collection of new and used CDs, vinyl and DVDs reaches (even more) epic proportions. Right now, their vast collection of music and films covers every wall, counter, cabinet and crawl space in the joint...it literally looks as though the place could explode at any minute, sending thousands of exceptional disks and cassettes cascading upon the Nolensville Road area. The staff at Phonoluxe is pretty kind and helpful, but like most indie record stores, it's more fun to peruse their vast assortment of music solo. Phonoluxe sort of reminds me of a small Amoeba or other comparable west coast record store, and their collection of vinyl ranges from blues and country to hip-hop, glam and more. Just today I purchased an out-of-print Best of Bowie, and, while it was $20, I doubt I could find it for much cheaper elsewhere. In addition to their scores and scores of vinyl and CDs, Phonoluxe also has a pretty impressive selection of foreign and domestic films. They've shelved most of them on the walls, but, like their other items, they're kind of stuck wherever room is available. Though Grimey's is certainly my favorite record shop in town, Phonoluxe is probably number two.

    If you love this place, then you totally understand the hype to it however, if you're like me and…read moreyou were introduced to this from another person who absolutely adores it, but you don't care for places like this you find it confusing. So this is a massive bookstore, music store, video store, toy store that specializes in buying used items and reselling them. So if you have an aversion to musty dirty used items, this is not your place. Which I happen to have. However, this is not McKay's fault. It is a great place to offload things you don't need and get a little cash on the side. I have a touch of sensory bias, which is why it's difficult for me to enjoy it. But I totally understand why others do. If you are planning on selling stuff, make sure you get there early. If not, when they open there will be a line not of people wanting to sell stuff just people wanting to get in there to check out anything new that came in the night before. It is always busy so do not expect to come and it not be packed. If that is an issue for you probably not your place. But a big plus is the parking lot is absolutely massive. You will find a parking spot regardless of how busy it is. And to that I give it five stars.

    I was so excited to get back to McKay's for the first time in years. I was completely taken aback…read moreby the prices of books here now. Many books I found were overpriced for used books. There's no pricing system based on book condition, which would be nice. You may find a book in fair condition and pay the same amount for the same book in excellent condition. Customer service was great as always.
