Indy CD and Vinyl is like the old-school record stores I used to visit in my teens and 20s, oh so…read moremany years ago when I would actually purchase CDs and tapes. Except now, everything old is new again, and this record store actually has more records than anything else. So if you are a record collector, this is your place. They have new and used records, as well as quite a lot of CDs, cassettes, used DVDs, comic books and some records players and headphones for sale. It was my oldest son's idea to visit, because he loves record stores, and is proving to have impeccable taste in music. (He gets it from his mom.) He loves rap and hip-hop the most, and was a little disappointed that there weren't more albums by his favorite artists. I told him that I think album collecting tends to skew more toward rock and pop listeners, and people who listen to rap and hip-hop listen more digitally. That's my theory, but in any case, you should know that the hip-hop section is small. But the rock and pop section is large. This record store is a decent size, and in fact, there's a sign outside that says that they will soon be expanding. My son thought that the store was huge, but bless his ignorant heart: He didn't grow up going to the country's greatest record store, Amoeba Records in Hollywood, like I did. This is no Amoeba, but there's no place like Amoeba, and for a record store in central Indiana, Indy CD and Vinyl is really great. Two neat things about Indy CD and Vinyl: They have video games and pinball machines that you can play at the back of the store (for a couple of quarters). They also have a listening station, where you can scan the barcode of an album and listen to it before you buy it. It wasn't working when we visited, but that's cool that they offer that. No one in my household actually owns a record player, CD player or cassette player, so our visit was merely to look around and imagine the things we would buy if we had analog media players. My son did get a Tyler The Creator poster, though, so he was happy.

Store is clean, has an old school record store, after-school feel id seen in 80s shows & movies lol. A solid new vinyl selection of music covering popular artists and genres, and an equally nice used section. I'll definitely return.

In addition, the staff are kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about their various products. Finally, if you are looking to sell or trade some items, they are fair and considerate when reviewing your items. Every city needs a "Toy Pit."

There's always been at least one employee that will geek out with us about our favorite characters. I recently purchased a Coraline doll for my youngest from The Toy Pit, and she was so thrilled. She's carried her everywhere for the last week. Their Barbie collection is pretty impressive. You can also find Labubu and My Little Ponies from the 80's. There's always something new to check out.

Updating my review of Luna Music and bumping it up from four stars to five. This is because a) Luna…read moredeserves all five stars; and b) it's been nine (!!) years since my last review. In my last review, I think I complained about being a tired mom with macaroni and cheese stains on my pants. Well, nine years later, I'm still a mom but fortunately less tired, the stains on my pants are from red wine and vegan tzatziki, and the kids I made macaroni and cheese for have grown up and are very interested in music. And they ask me to take them to Luna Music. I'm always happy to oblige. My oldest kid love Luna Music because he can find albums for the bands that he listens to. Bands and artists that are not on my radar at all (Blood Orange? Anyone, anyone? Bueller?), but he loves them, and it makes him happy to find them here in vinyl. Luna has a lot of new music on vinyl. This is the place to visit in Indianapolis if you're looking for any kind of new music. They are on top of it. In fact, I subscribe to their weekly newsletter just to keep abreast of the new music that drops every week. Luna Music keeps me young and able to relate to my children, who have astounding musical taste for their age. Luna skews toward records, but they also have a smaller selection of used CDs, as well as a collection of used cassette tapes that are smaller still. You can also find zines, local artwork, greeting cards, record players and other fun things. The people who work here are super friendly and not at all snobby. There are no Jack-Black-from-High-Fidelity people here!

We had other plans in the plaza on March 11th where The Exchange is located, but my husband saw…read morethem and our plans quickly changed. My hubby was in heaven looking around and told me I am officially in charge of making yelp use a 6 star system so I can give them 6 stars. They have wall to wall and several aisles stocked full of product. They even have a buy 2 items under $3 get the 3rd item under $3 free. They have loads of dvds/blurays, cds, some books/manga, old and new games and systems, and some awesome collectibles. The employees definitely were the cherry on top. He was telling us about the setup of the store, deals the have and about their trade in policies (which are the states policy and super intense to stop stolen items from being sold. They even do fingerprints). My husband is officially obsessed with this store and if he could live here he would. We had to go back to the hotel to grab a game to trade in and on the way back he said "I love this place. I know we aren't there but I'm going to talk like we are because my soul is there". I have no doubts we will be back. We ended up getting a few different things and we were pleased with everything.

The Exchange is located in a small strip mall and has a fair amount of parking. I primarily went in…read moreto check out their CD section, which was a pretty good selection. What was even better was their variety of vinyl, and I ended up purchasing two LPs and one CD. Prices for either medium were either reasonable for used or overpriced, not really in the middle. A lot of their collection, including the CDs, is behind glass, which makes it not as easy for a shopper to quickly check out the inventory before buying.

They feel its ok to chase customers out of the place with "music that sinks to the lowest denominator, rap mixes that rip off decades of musicians from blues to hiphop, and assault women with mysoginistic lyrics and vulgar language as low as it can go. A whole 30 minutes as I waited for my drink and fumbled with trying to get my usbc headphones to run the sound through that particular port. I am all for the appropriately placed F bomb, but the liberal use of it in those sound bytes was not it. So, for example of appropriate, the management of this store/venue/coffee shop can F-off.

We now check it out on a regular basis and always find some unique items. Prices are excellent, especially when compared to other vintage shops. The true treasure of the sho are the people that run it. They are so delightful and always make you feel welcome. Many times they have helped add to a collection by offering suggestions and remembering us when we came in. Though we don't always buy something we always learn something. Their knowledge and helpfulness is fantastic. I appreciate all the unique serving pieces and kitchen things available. My husband loves the record collection. Give this place a try... Parking can be utilized on either side of the building. You will have to look for it the first time but it is easy if you look for the grey building next to Liter House.

Been at World half a dozen times since I've moved here and always seem to leave with a record I…read morenever wanted. The owner seals the record and then grades it with a sticker on the bag. You can't look at the vinyl at all. So weird, like the stuff in there is rare. It's not! And Our opinions of what's NM are pretty far apart. The guy is nice enough, and we always seem to chit chat about the grand old days of collecting which I appreciate. But what is just nuts,!this last time in, a couple boxes of records were on the ground and low and behold, it looks like some good stuff. Blue Note re from the mid 70's. Frank Zappa. When I started digging he stopped me and said they weren't for sale and have been around for 10'years. They weren't his personal collection, he just had no interest in pricing or selling them. Yet, there they were in the shop. Yeah, I won't be back anytime soon. He has lots of incense if that's your thing. #sellrecordsmake$
