If there is one thing I love about Minneapolis, there is an abundance of record stores, to fit any…read moremusical taste. The Record Spot is a very small "hole-in-the-wall" shop, with enough room to fit maybe 5 or 6 folks standing inside flipping through the bins. The owner is super-friendly, and appears to have an affinity to late 70s, early 80s punk, new wave, and early modern rock. All of the pricing is on masking tape, priced fairly, and I couldn't find one record in the bin that was less than VG+ condition. Overall, the store is very well organized, and I recommend taking a look through the $1 and $2 bins. The sleeves in these bins are pretty beat, but the records I picked up all play clean and were a real bargain. I loved at the end, when I was checking out, how the owner wanted to know more about the records I was snagging. I picked up clean copies of U2's Boy and October at very fair prices, where he even shaved a couple of bucks off the total. If you're driving by fast enough, you'll miss this little gem of a record store. It's worth a visit if you're looking for classics in good shape at a fair price.

You never know what you'll find in a random neighborhood. In my case last Saturday, I was at the…read moreSpeedway filling my rental car, when I spied Know Name Records across the street. As I had plenty of time to spare for Lunch with my brother (at the nearby 5-8 Club), I wandered over. Know Name Records struck me as a combination of a CD/Vinyl records store, a head shop, t-shirt seller, memorabilia collection, head shop, disk golf dealer, and rummage sale. The later was based on a couple sets of old speakers, a turntable, and other vintage items that were for sale. Plus from this person of 65's perspective, it didn't look like the 2 older guys tending the counter had escaped the 60s. :) I had a great time looking around. I wasn't much interested in the weed-related or vinyl merchandise, and I would never get those speakers on the plane. But, the CDs were interesting and I found a great Vikings/Prince "Purple Reign" (if only for that NFL team) jersey that I just had to take home (see picture). I'm sure to come back the next time I'm anywhere this side of the Crosstown Freeway. Plus I'd fully expect that there would be a whole new inventory to explore. Good prices too.

I came right in at opening so no one was in store yet so they said fine I'll check them out, so records were snatched out of my hands and the employee went to the back to inspect them, and 2nd employee said "we're doing you a favor" with attitude in his tone. Then the guy offered me $3 for records that were worth at least 30 a piece, they were barely used, near mint and he lowballed me, so brought my records to Mill City Sound and got offered a great price for my records, go to Mill City Sound in Hopkins not this place!

I find the prices very fair and more importantly every used record I have purchased has been in great condition. They are very transparent if a record isn't in great condition.

Now I just go to Mill City where their great and friendly staff always steer me in the right direction. I bummed that my mom got rid of all my vinyl when I went into the military, but pumped that I discovered Mill City.

They are overpriced, and some are in really rough shape, too. A lot of them aren't priced, either. I won't be returning. Save yourself a trip.

And if it's not in stock, Tune Town will order it for, real friendly-like. Don't listen to the naysayers. These are the folks who go on a Caribbean cruise, sign up for an excursion on Grand Cayman and have complaints ("we'd give zero stars if we could!!!"). They complain that the experience of feeding the sting rays just wasn't all they'd hoped for, want their money back, and can someone please give them back the time spent in the gorgeous Caribbean sun while half the world is starving and can't get clean water. So, stop blaming the sting rays for your troubles and stop down at Tune Town this weekend. This is not a paid promotion. However, I am not made from such strong moral fiber that I would turn down a free t-shirt.
