The part owner was very friendly and took time to explain how he cleaned each used record before he put them up for sale at his shop. It paid off in the quality of the play back of this record. They even have some records that I can't find in Kansas City. I will be back for more in the future. Please support this local small business.

I am a pretty nostalgic person and I value a lot of things that are from my childhood in my younger…read moreyears and when I saw this place tucked away in a corner of Topeka, I just had to stop in. The moment I walk threw the door, incense hit my nose and I was completely taken back in time where music and the feel of the times of record players and dancing and hanging out with family overwhelmed me. They had original recordings of all of the historic artist from Roberta Flack to the Beatles. The Grateful Dead, Elvis, Carlos Santana the list goes on. I even spoke with the guy who worked the shop who gave me a history of the place and where I can actually purchase a record player. Seeing all of this brought me back to the sound of vinyl music that is missing today and I'm seriously considering purchasing a record player and being able to collect some of the albums that I grew up listening to. If you are a flower child or an 80s child or even a 60s civil rights or hippie child, this is the store for you. Some memories are worth keeping forever and this is one of those places that captures those memories. If you're ever into collecting priceless recordings of your favorite artist this is the way to go!!

I will definitely return to see what other goodies I can find here.

we were downtown while visiting 'home'. Having grown up in Lawrence when you had Kief's and…read moredoing record hunting the first time around I found it rather soul soothing to go into a place again and thumb through a thousand records again. Some are new, some are used. Place is packed with records from one end to the other and you have to navigate in/around the people there which is how it was done in the old days. I remember finding 'The Information Society' in downtown Lawrence as a teen, was funny to me in that I was picking up They Might Be Giants first release, and the Big Science release from Laurie Anderson. Things I did in the late 1980s once before. I hate feeling like some old person saying 'back in my day' but there is a sense of contentment to flip through a huge selection of sounds, seeing things and deciding if based just on the cover if it's worth spending your hard earned money on. Something playing over head selected by someone who works there, finding something new, it was a shared experience that I think we miss now with everything algorithmic and solo. The only downside being that it's hard to balance a solid selection in a physical location, I'm sure compared to 'online' but there's nothing quite like flipping through records and finding something you were looking for. Solid pricing for a retail location in downtown, you're not going to buy 11 records for a penny like Columbia house but you won't be disappointed with the selection and the hunt.
