    The first vinyl I bought that day before I moved: Self titled debut album from Alvvays...
    Josiah S.

    This is a cool place. I noticed that many of the reviews on this store are older so I decided to write one. I first came here on my way through the area before I moved to Columbus in May. A bit of exploration that day led me to find a new record store. I bought an Alvvays record and went on my way. Jack was chill and has a good perspective on turntables. I had alot to learn in life after that day but regardless kept coming back to this record store throughout! What stands out about RPM compared to all the other record stores in Columbus is the odd/rare finds. As someone who listens to a wide variety of music in order to encapsulate specific times and memories, it is no surprise that I buy obscure vinyls. And this store delivers! I have purchased Revelation (Brian Jonestown Massacre), I Disagree (More) by Poppy, Sinner Get Ready (Lingua Ignota) and Flow Goes the Universe (Laraaji) all at this location. I am excited to go back this month and hopefully purchase the new Poppy Album, Flux. It's also close to hardware store which is a nice juxtaposition!

    There is a debate I have heard about whether or not records are viable in the age of ipods and cells; they are either here to stay as a sonic superior media for music, or just some trendy fashion sign by hipsters that won't last beyond their "use-by' date. I hope it is the former, as I love the romance of the vinyl black circle on a spin, the concept of an album, and the amazing artwork of their sleeves. Not sure how long this place has been here but I found it walking down High. Records Per Minute has like records per foot because it is stuffed with albums. These are fresh pressed new vinyl wrapped and sealed. It had everything you'd think a classic record store would have: all the classic albums, indy stuff, box sets--John Lennon, The Clash, many more. The classical and jazz sections are really cool with some delectable fines. They are not wanting for titles. A retro space, the walk through is cool through brick arches and wood floors with records playing out the system, a typical old High Street store. They also have various ends of turntables for sale and a smatter of CDs. Above rock shirts of all the classic bands go for $20. If records are here to stay this place is too. Awesome.

    It was just okay for me. Lots of new vinyl but limited selection of used. Organization wasn't great.

    Most of the new vinyl that I've shopped is below the MSRP or in line with any other place, on-line or brick or mortar.

    Once upon a Time, School Kids Records, and the accompanying Used Kids Records were two stores that…read morefound their homes on High St just across from the Ohio State University campus. in those days, you would trample down a narrow set of outdoor concrete steps to enter a wonderworld of vinyl LPs. These days it's a street level entrance, but the absolutely amazing vinyl selection is still very much present in this new record shop located on Summit Street north of campus. most people would be hard pressed not to find several selections that they really like in this large shop. Truly incredible variety. As with most shops like this in the Columbus area, there are some vinyl record collector supplies available for purchase. True collectors and audio files will find this feature very useful. Friendly and talkative staff at the front desk, who are happy to answer thoughtful questions. They are knowledgeable so if you have something on your mind, hit them up if they can help you, I'm feeling pretty confident that they'll do their best. Parking can be a bit of a chore as there are a number of other retail shops in this immediate area, it is also a residential area, and a highly trafficked street. With a little patience, you'll be able to find something relatively nearby. Be sure and check the signs to make sure that you're parking in an area that is permissible.

I remember going…read morethere once back in the '90s with a much cooler friend, in what I believe was an older location, and being in awe of his ability to dig through crates and come up with incredible records by bands that I had barely heard of. Now I'm a bit further along in my appreciation of punk, hardcore, metal, and more, and remember him every time I come and wander through the LPs, 7"s and 45s, tapes, and more that fill its long shelves and multiple rooms. If you're not a punk and hardcore fan, don't worry. Used Kids has a bit of everything, and holds it all in an environment that's well lit, clearly marked, affordably/reasonably priced, and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable folks who won't make you feel like an idiot if your awareness of niche jazz or Eastern European post-punk bands doesn't equal their own. New music and old, used records and still-sealed wonders - it's all here, and giving yourself a copy of hours to wander is well worth your time. See you soon, Used Kids. You know I'll be back.

    GREAT store! Came…read morehere looking for tapes for my bro-in-law, as he just got a sweet 1989 Trans Am that still has the original tape deck. While waiting, I noticed they had a good selection of CD's, maybe not in sheer numbers, but diverse in artists and styles. I was hedging on purchasing Del the Funky Homosapien, and decided against it because I was trying to save some money. The proprietor asked about it, I mentioned my thriftiness (just in conversation, not trying to make a deal), and he offered to take a couple bucks off! And threw in a free concert t-shirt handed to him by Del himself! Seeing the value, I jumped at the chance to sweeten the deal. My Wu-Tang bootleg isn't getting any younger, and has been skipping a lot. I asked if he'd throw that one in for another $10. Done! He asked where the hot music places are up in Cleveland. I reluctantly told him that Downtown Records is now a steakhouse. He knew the store from the past, however. Guy knows his business. I will absolutely be back, every time I am in Columbus. And hey...it'd been a while since I was down there. Your city is looking pretty sweet!
