    Hidden away on Wicklow Street (though they sometimes pay a lonely man to hold a sign while sitting in front of the shop's entrance), here's everything an old analog person like me needs.

Found some good used vinyl. Prices are nice and the folks minding the shop are friendly. Hard to spot the door to this basement shop.

I discovered this place via Yelp and I heard it named by some local record collector and when I visited I found it pretty cool even if I do not collect or even play retro games. What I liked in this store in the first was the attitude: lotsa records everywhere, lotsa turntables to try them by yourself, lotsa selection and fair prices. The place is little, is literally underground and the people working there are pretty young and they listen to very good music with old time stereo systems that sound ok especially for the place. Someone in Dublin said to me this businness is run by Trinity College students (and it could be considering, lucky them, they are pretty young: I met three of them, a guy looking like a young Mick Jagger, a very nice lady spinning great country infected records and the self called Boss I said before (he played Sufjan Steve records, so he shouldn't be that bad :-). The young Jagger played a super cool The Clean record after we had a talk about new psychedelia and paisley underground (I found a True West record for 5 euro, or 3 records for 12 euro department down below) and I recommended it to him to check it out. So, what I really like in this store, was diggin' in that "3 records for 12 euro department", were you can really find everything, a lot of any and every type of stuff in various configurations and conditions! Some have broken covers, some got terrible vinyl condition, then same, many, are good and they can be a real deal, then they still are like they presented them: second rate purchase for one reason or another and it needs someone like me to appreciate it and buy it, just if the price is reasonable. So the first time I was very happy becouse, after having all the fun in the store listen to those records, selecting them and finally choosing a big bunch of them to buy, I was greeted by the "young Mick Jagger guy" an appreciable, appreciated and expected discount. I went out of the store very happy and find the time to come back two or three hours before the fly to come back home few days later. Sadly "the young mick jagger" left the store before I completed my new selection to purchase and when it was time to pay there was "the boss" to the register and the attitude was completely different related with the price policy even if I said the other guy had a completely different approach and it was in that moment he explained to me he was the boss there. I let my selection there literally in his hands (no purchase) becouse it was impossible to find a fair agreement (and I was a bit disappointed) then I still recommend this place becouse it is still my fav place for records in Dublin (hoping to find the right guy at the register). PS: I was still lucky: pretty much what I was interested for (circa 30 records) was bought in my first visit, those additional 10 records I left at the register wasn't essential so "the boss" didn't impacted too much on my The Rage experience. No too much "rage" at the end. :-)
