It's a pretty good size record store with lots of old records used records in brand new releases. I found lots of cool records here that I would've never found anywhere else including little 7 inches and old Christmas ones. I love how it's really close by to a lot of other stuff in buffalo, which makes it really easily accessible when going to other places in Buffalo. Everyone here is really nice and the staff is always super helpful when you're looking for a specific record. Overall, a great record store.

The store itself has such a great variety of both new and old vinyls, posters CDs and more. We love the little bar in the back, which has sodas that we can drink during the record release parties.

Overall, if you're looking for some good priced vinyl or a place to celebrate new album releases this is your store

And if you stick around browsing long enough, he'll tell you incredible stories about famous musicians and his friends in the business. The atmosphere in his store is like no other. Wayne takes pride in the memorabilia he has on the walls and shelves, as he should! Each piece he collects has a story that's worth hearing. The walls are covered in artwork by local artists, concert posters of famous bands who performed locally, and some really fun stuff too, like a drawing by Bono that his friend gave him! Cool Beat has an awesome collection of vinyl. Both new and old and all different genres. The store is super organized and every artist/ record was easy to find. Wayne is always working on getting new music in so always check back in from time to time to find something new. He also sells cds, 45s, posters, and other retro Buffalo/ music related items. His store seriously has a great collection and his prices are extremely fair in comparison to other record stores in the area. He also has a stamp card to get $5 off when you spend $50. All in all, Cool Beat is hands down the best place to come if you truly appreciate music and want to support local business.

To get a huge, huge selection of CDs in this little store, the CDs and artwork have been removed from the jewel cases and put in plastic envelopes. When you buy a CD, the artwork and CD will be put back in a jewel case if you want. In my case, I was travelling and had no room left in my suitcase. Without the jewel cases, I was able to stuff over 20 CDs in my suitcase (and I have plenty at home). The selection is incredible with a wide range of rock music. Lots of rare stuff that I don't see in other stores. Most of the CDs are either $5 or $10. I ended up with over 20 discs for $85. Some of it was stuff that I had been looking for and others were albums I didn't know existed. There is a huge selection of heavy/death metal (but that was not what I wanted). There is progressive rock and jam bands. There is straight ahead rock. The jazz selection is pretty small. We were driving from Niagara Falls to the Buffalo airport and this was just 5 minutes out of the way. I would have spent more time in the store and probably found more CDs to buy if my wife wasn't outside texting me when I would be done. I never buy this many CDs when I visit a record store, even something like Amoeba Records in Hollywood which is one of the biggest record stores in the US.
