Such an amazing experience here! I was searching for a pretty hard-to-find record for my…read moreboyfriend's birthday, and when I called, they not only confirmed they had it -- they actually held the record for me until I could come pick it up. That meant so much and seriously took the stress out of trying to track it down. When I came in, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. You can tell they genuinely care about music and about making sure customers leave happy. They made the whole experience feel personal instead of just another transaction. If you're looking for something specific (especially a harder-to-find record), this is the place to go. I'm so grateful they held it for me and helped make his birthday special. I'll definitely be back!

Call before you go. They regularly do not open on time. I have arrived several times 30-40 minutes…read moreafter their posted opening time and no one is there. Every now and then, fine, but it happens all the time here. It's disrespectful to their customers, who may travel to come to the store, just to sit there for no one to show up.

Hands down the greatest record store I've ever been to.

They have all types of media music and for a great price too. They also do something I've never seen a record store do before that really makes them stand out compared to other stores. THEY CLEAN AND CHECK ALL THEIR USED RECORDS. You can tell the owners truly care about not only their records but their customers and music as a whole. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

I can honestly say its the only place that I know of with old school customer service, where they go out of their way to make you happy. It has great prices on all kinds of things not just music, but movies games, electronics, cameras, to an outstanding selection of clothes and sneakers(mostly hip and for the young) But I personally love the service, in fact my wife tries to keep me away from the place because I actually want to spend money whether i need to or not LOL

Great selection, great staff. A must visit if you're in the Akron area. Lots of vinyl but CDs too!read more

I never even knew this existed. I love the atmosphere created in a gray record store. This was no exception, and it was fantastic to see music history saved and presented in the way that hollow bone organizes their collection. My wife and I were able to score a couple albums and I'm excited to go back periodically and continue to add to my record collection. This is the closest final store to my house and I look forward to supporting their business for a quite a long time.

When I went to pick up a order I was bothering them, trying to give them money, and they went against their written policy about loyaltly cards, treating me as though I couldn't read and my money wasn't hard earned.
