RICHARD IS OPEN AGAIN! HIS NEW LOCATION is 1156 Duane Street, Astoria Oregon, 97103. His store is UNDER the Video Horizons store, just go down the stairs. Richard's new location is absolutely huge and filled with records. I just visited his new store on October 12, 2021 and he is planning on being at this location for a while so go check him out. I would describe this new location as a glorious record dungeon. If you like bargain records that may not be perfect condition but well priced then you will love this place. For as much inventory as he has, Richard is very organized and you will pretty quickly figure out where things are. If you can't find it he can take you there. This is my favorite used record store of all time If you have never visited this store before here are a couple of things to know. Call first because Richard, the owner, sometimes has to work other jobs on the side and may not be there when you want to visit. If you call him and tell him when you are coming he will let you know if he is there or he will make every effort to get there to meet you. Most of his items are not priced but believe me, he will cut you a great deal. Just grab a stack that anything that interests you and you will be happy with the price he gives you. Don't miss this place!

This place is incredible! A must stop for any music lover!

See all

Richard is an awesome person. Such a great collection of vinyl and at such an amazing price. Well worth the 2.5hr drive from Washington.

Bach & Rock was a shop we just stumbled across while we were out and about in Astoria. It was a…read morepart of downtown we haven't explored too thoroughly prior which is the explanation I am going with. This place is loaded with musical instruments, they sell CD's and other physical forms of music that have long stopped seeing new prints in a broad way. For movies they have DVD's, VHS and probably any other form of physical media I am not mentioning for movies. On top of that this place is kind of an incense heaven. The selection is huge and there were at least five different spots I found in the store where they had incense sticks. I bought quite a bit and was pleased with finding so many scents I don't normally come across. The atmosphere is quirky to say the least. Not only is their windblowing instruments everywhere, it's loaded with plants and other decor that definitely gives this place a unique signature. And of course the fact that a real parrot was here only enhanced that. And of course we had to swing by and say "hi" to the bird.

At the time of writing, there are no 3 star reviews and I was tempted to give one but I'm giving a…read more4 star review. First off, I'm the only person, apparently, to notice all the wind instruments in this place, mainly brass instruments. I don't think I've read another review that even mentions the wind instruments. HELLO! The place is packed with them...every shape size and sort. Lots of trumpets, alto/tenor horns (really cool), piccolo trumpets, trombones, valve trombones, tubas, at least one bassoon, and much more. I give it five stars for the instruments. Absolutely dazzling to look at. I asked the "guy" where they source them from and he shot back "all over the world." I plan to go back and buy a trumpet. Great incense section. And yes, the records, cds and tapes. Very impressive. I actually did not see a cat, dog or bird. And I lost part of my smell-o-factory from covid so I didn't smell any pet smells. So why the 4 star review and not a 5 star review? Well, it's an odd place and it is somewhat restricted. You can't browse the wind instruments really because they're in a closed off area. (Did I mention the brass instruments? They're amazing absolutely beautiful). It's an odd place, and maybe not the most welcoming, but to me I love the oddity. You'd be hard pressed to find any store any where like this one.

My boyfriend and I stopped here on a little roadtrip. He bought an Ozzy record. Very weird owner…read morewho did not speak to us and when we asked him a couple questions acted like it was an inconvenience for him to answer us. Also, he had two birds in different cages both covered up. I felt bad for them as I could see that was their entire life. I asked him what their names were even though I couldn't see them only hear them, and he acted so weird about it. So sad the keep an animal in a cage, let alone a bird. Covered up in the darkness. Bad vibes from this store.

What an interesting find!…read more First off I love finding record stores to rummage through when I'm traveling but this place goes above and beyond that. Truly, I have never seen such a wide collection of DVDs, cassettes, CDs, and vinyl. Another alarming thing is how many of these items, such as the cassettes, are in the original wrapper! It was like a museum to the past, and I mean that in the best ways possible. It reminded me of the 90s being at the local record store combing the aisles for something that peaked my interest. This place is decorated with lots of plants, musical instruments and cats. Yes, cats. Apparently proceeds of this place help our furry friends and the cats often end up here as a second-chance shelter, so how do you not love that? The guy working there wasn't the friendliest at first, but once I started asking questions and buying things, he lightened up. I'm not sure if he thought I was just wasting his time at first or not. I'm sure a lot of people come here just to look. This place is a gold mine for anyone who loves music.

Barter for a great deal. Think of this place as a type of pawn shop as far as what they carry. They will buy used gear from you or trade. Pretty kick back attitude and funny signs all around the store. Damn big place too, so spend some time, and look around, move some boxes, look behind things, etc. Lot's of hidden treasures abound of things that you may or may not need. One thing that I noticed is the guy that works there can be left to man the fort by himself and it seems that all hell breaks loose when this happens (phones ring off the hook, customers come in with all sorts of questions, etc.). He handles the rush really well, so try to cut him some slack if he is busy. I see so many rude clerks and staff at places that are snotty for no reason at all, so when I see this guy busting his back and keeping his cool, he deserves some common courtesy. This is a cool, local shop that gives Astoria some quirky character that keeps us as weird as Portland will ever be, without as many Portlandia Freaks and Geeks to annoy us here on our mossy coast. SHOP LOCAL!!!!!
