Who sells a perfect copy of the Xanadu motion picture soundtrack? What's wrong with you? 2. Only the best record store on the entire west coast would know to buy a copy of the Xanadu motion picture soundtrack. And there you have it. Music Millennium is the best record store on the entire west coast. Oh sure, I have about 5,000 other reasons, but that's the most recent one. I've yet to pay a visit and walk out without buying at least 3-4 albums. Add the CDs, DVDs, and all manner of other music/movie-related goodness and this place is the gold standard.

They are located in the Burnside area where street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have tons of physical media ranging from vinyls, CDs, DVDs, and more.

Very hard to find business owners treat their customers the way these gentlemen do. sometimes I will come to their store and if I can't find what I'm looking for they have no problem doing everything they can to help me out. maybe the people that had a bad experience with them was a communication problem on the customer side.

I owe these fine folks a lot, certainly more than my monetary contributions over the years could ever even come close to - this is a Portland institution and I hope it stays open forever. Also - if you're lame or listen to super popular newer bands/acts, there's throngs of other places in Portland that will gladly take your money and sell you what you're after. If this is the case and you accidentally step into Little Axe, things totally happen but maybe don't feel compelled to leave a nasty review because of this. They're doing what they do at an extremely high level, even if it doesn't appeal to your (potentially) limited tastes.
