In response to the guy who was upset about Music Matters not holding a record for him on Record…read moreStore Day - I too called Music Matters to request that they hold a Record Store Day (RSD) single for me and then mail it, but they explained to me that their RSD contract stated that they could not hold records, and that they would lose the right to get RSD limited edition records if they did. So, as much as I wanted that single, I completely understood their policy. I know now I have to drive to St. Augustine to wait in line! I want to say something else about Music Matters. In an age where record stores are becoming extinct, and online retail overwhelms, Music Matters is not just a music "shop," it is a cool, friendly place to hang out, with people who are knowledgeable, and care about you finding that one record you have been looking for, or turning you on to new music in a favorite genre that you didn't even know about, something that you cannot experience with a computer (sorry Siri). And where else can you immediately buy the music you were jonesing for? Even Amazon hasn't come up with immediate gratification delivery! Check this store out!

Stopped in here after a disappointing visit to another record store in the area…read more We were only there for a short time but a couple of observations led to my 4 star review. 1) the staff was going through a large amount of records right near the front door. I'm not saying that's a negative, it's actually quite a positive. Even through the 3 of them were going through a big collection, they still stopped to help us. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because of how I personally shop for records. I'm not what you'd call a crate digger. If you are, then you'll love this place. I know there are many, many crate diggers out there. Just wanted to mention it not being my style in case anyone else wanted to know what to expect. We picked up a couple of records while we were there, so it was a good visit. It helped make up for the other place in town that we stopped first.
