I'll be honest, this place definitely surprised me!! Me and the boyfriend were out today record…read moreshopping and were at a standstill.. we wanted to continue our venture, but I didn't necessarily wanna drive down to the Highlands to Book & Music Exchange or drive 30 minutes to Half Priced Books... Lo and behold, this shop came up in my search for record stores!! I was a little skeptical just because I'd never heard of this store before, but they didn't disappoint !! We were greeted immediately by a really nice man... I didn't get his name, but he was incredibly personable and friendly!! When I first looked around I was scared they were just a vinyl store (i'm more of a CD collector because they're more compact + cheaper) until I noticed their cd wall which had an array of things!! From well known artists like Ozzy, Beatles, Alice In Chains, to more local artists like My Morning Jacket, they had it all!! They even had a cassette section which was my holy grail because I'm also a BIG cassette person too!! They had both a mix of old and new ones... even snatched up the Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan on cassette (which they also had on 7" vinyls and regular sized). Aside from records and CDs, they also had a nice selection of comic books in the back, as well as stickers, t-shirts, buttons, and show posters from concerts/events that had happened in Louisville!! This is definitely coming one of our main record shops to visit when we need our cd kick!! Absolutely love the vibes and selection!!

Impressed with the vast amount of records accross all music genres. I love the most of them especially from the sixities to the ninety's. Got a jazz album, a lot of soul music, some pop. I sold off my large music collection in 1991 to move from Atlanta to Louisville. The owner said he has been open since 1978. I will definitely be back to get more music. In the mean time I need to figure out how to change the needle to get better sound. Great records, vast selection, great prices, is music to my ears!

They sell record players, not old-fashioned ones but all-in-one types, and they are good enough.

Their classic rock section was pretty well stocked, and their country section fully decked out.

For nearly 30 years me and my friends have jokingly referred to the "LP Prison" maintained by…read moreElectric Ladyland, which consisted of records that the proprietor decided at some point were "rare" or unusual and which were then assigned circa 1985 peak prices and placed far from customers behind a very tall counter along several of the establishment's inner walls. For the most part, the imprisoned LPs have remained there untouched as time passed. As you might imagine, in several decades' some of those records became worthless with respect to the peak sticker price, while still others became far more valuable with respect to the old sticker price. Nowadays, the business is being run by several young women who're trying to update the store in many ways (it's safe to say that the majority of business here in recent years is from the "head shop/smoke shop" aspect that the business always had). As part of the new moves at E.L., I am happy to report that "LP Prison" has been busted open wide and the formerly untouchable vinyl is now liberated into a large bin on the Bardstown Road side window. I bought nearly all the really good stuff (having spent close to $500 on two recent lazy Memorial Day weekend afternoons). However, there are still a lot of decent LPs that I already have and/or don't care to own...and these records are nearly almost all in near-mint condition. VERY PLAYABLE! Rush over there now and stock up. Also, about those prices. I was jesting about them being priced in 1985 but suffice to say it's been a while. As such, prices are VERY soft on records now and you need only utter the word "discount" to get a steep bargain. If a record seems really overpriced, recommend you look it up on Discogs and with your research in hand make an offer based on the evidence. Welcome back, Electric Ladyland! I have hopes that you'll keep moving into the right direction and my regular stops will continue to help me build the best collection possible.

Not exactly sure where to begin with Electric Ladyland. For many years I have passed this place…read moreand never really knew what it was until a recent visit with a friend. We went in after an early lunch at nearby Twig and Leaf. There is private and street parking, we were able to park in the parking lot beings it wasn't very busy. Going in, it is actually mostly a smoke shop with old used records as well as some other things in there. We did browse around for a bit but, left empty handed beings somethings were overpriced. Did like the smell of the incense burning inside the place. Although this is a neat little store, it's not a place we'd venture to very often.

I love enjoying my coffee from P&TY and browsing the records. The selection is not as large as a huge music store, but they have a good variety. The staff in the front of the coffee shop is there to assist you when needed. For example, I wore a KISS shirt into P&TY and upon placing my drink order was told the number of KISS records they had in the back, and asked to please let him know if I needed anything at all.
