stopped in today with my 3yo and 7mo right at noon to avoid a breakdown from either due to…read morehunger/tiredness. got a nice comment on how they were well-behaved, so that was cool. bins upon bins of old and newer records. the labels all have comments if a record is 'a bit scratchy' or 'first US pressing' or whatever else, so they give you a heads up. they'll also let you give it a listen on the turntable to make sure you know what it is you're buying and to make sure it sounds ok, though I'm sure they do their due diligence before crating them. there are tons of $3/4 for $10 bins as well as New Release shelves and there is a little (ok, a LOT) bit of everything. got 2 Johnny Cash records, a 2-LP Lynyrd Skynyrd live recording, and an Otis Spann LP for $22. didn't listen in-store as kids were volatile. got home, listened to them each for a few minutes, and they sounded great. the Spann record had 'a bit scratchy' written on the $6 price sticker but it sounded pretty good, like it was pressed in 1961 (which it was). new to the record player game and after getting 4 new presses for the holidays it was cool to get 4 'new' ones that were all 25+ years old. definitely gonna be back, without kids next time.

One of the best shops in the area. I always find something I am beyond stoked to find. If you like…read morePunk, Prog, psych, Jazz, they have it all. Owners are great too. You'll definitely have a great dig here.

This is a very nice used record shop with lots of really great stuff! Kim, the owner is truly a…read more rare person. One day I visited the shop and asked if she ever gets any old Chet Baker (Jazz) records and she expressed they are pretty hard to come by. She then told she can order a new pressing for me and I agreed. A few weeks later, I was out of the country and got an email from Kim telling me the record had arrived. I couldn't get back to her for weeks and then one day I went into the store to pick it up. Kim saw me and was shocked bc not hearing from me she had just put the record up for sale and only moments before I walked in someone grabbed it. When I asked about the record she felt terrible and explained what happened and I quietly left. A week later I got another email from Kim expressing how terrible she felt and that she'd ordered the record again and this time she wanted to give it me for FREE! I couldn't believe it! A week later I made it into the store and declined to accept it for free but agreed to pay her purchase price. I bought several other records as well and intend to return to give her my business over and over. What a special person she is! And, the shop really is outstanding and full of great stuff and in great condition. If you are looking for old vinylI highly record this place!!

Was in the area and finished early. Pulled out the phone and googled for record stores near me and…read morethese folks showed up only a couple of miles down the road. Let's go! Upon entering, the store is divided into two sections. A used/consignment store in front and a music store in back. The music store is well laid out and all the bins are well organized with 90% being alphabetized. Nice first impression. Everything is well marked and the albums are categorized by genre, with a few niche categories tossed in for good measure. "Girls who rocked, really heavy, etc". Small enough niches that you have to take a peek. Nice selections across the board for all genres. I dug through them all and grabbed records for each one. Nice way to spend an hour or so. Ended up with a couple dozen to add to my collection. Woohoo!!! The owner Kim, was very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Wish it wasn't so far for me, but I will definitely be stopping in when I am back up there in a few months.
