    I have been coming here for years and years....it always amazes me at how much stuff they have here. My son wanted some music from the 70's and I was able to find him some phenomenal records, in great shape and at a reasonable price.

    Where do I even begin... what a gem. This place is HUGE.... huge. The upper level is all 45s. Their selection of LPs, cassettes, VHS, laser disc, DVDs, 8-track... obscene. You can spend hours here. Staff was pleasant. We walked away with some hard to find soundtracks on vinyl that I personally have never seen before and we are vinyl collectors of 30+ years. Come here for the hunt.

    Does anyone shop these?

    Organization and shopability, especially of 78 records, leaves much to be desired. See my photo. I am researching an obscure 1940s band. Spoke with owner briefly. He directed me to a few areas, but did not take me himself. I get that he's probably busy, but it's a big, narrow, confusing maze of a store. He didn't have what I wanted, which I sort of expected, but I was hoping to get some ideas of where to begin to research the band, as there isn't anything definitive on them that I've yet found. He said I should go on the internet. I asked where, specifically, I should look. He said Google. I'm done.

    Only a portion of this huge record store.

    Great selection of used vinyl, CD's, cassettes, DVD's, Blu-Ray, books, old magazines, stereo equipment, guitars--pretty much everything music-related you can imagine, and all at great prices. (Though the stereo equipment seems overpriced.) You could spend days in this place exploring, and reminiscing, and probably purchasing three albums you owned in the mid-1980's. This is the old Buder library building. Huge. And they're looking to find a new building in which they can expand even further.

    It's like a library of records! So many areas to dig thru and so much to look at. It was a bit hot in there

    I'm not sure if they have anything I want because you cannot get to 70% of the stock it's overflowing and in need of major organization.

    I was looking for a throwback record and I knew this would be the place to find it. I checked…read moreonline first which they said it was available but I also called to confirm. Not only did they have it available but it was priced well too. The staff was very friendly and this place is huge. Highly likely that whatever you are looking for, they'll have it here. My only issue would be parking. I was lucky to find a spot in front but usually it's busy in the loop so get make sure you are good with walking. Still a great location with all the other shops around. I will definitely return as my kids are into vinyl records now and would like a few of their own.

    This is an amazing record store. Easily in my top 5 in the country now based on my recent visit…read more It's sprawling, stuffed to the rafters with vinyl and CDs, etc. It's organized my genre and subgenre, perfectly ordered making finding what you're looking for easy but if you struggle, their staff can quickly help you track down what you're looking for if they have it in stock. I like that they have a discount section of new/sealed titles at very affordable prices as well as used/trade in at similarly fair prices. Even their brand new sealed vinyl is fairly priced compared to a lot of stores in particular. Really had a blast picking up a stack of records and chatting with the staff, will come back any time I'm in St.L.

    Euclid Records might be one of the best-organized record stores I've ever experienced. Encompassing…read moretwo floors, the records are seemingly alphabetized in EVERY BIN... including the bins holding the bands not given their own specific sections (example: where Def Leppard, Duran Duran and Bob Dylan get their own spots, other bands are just put under a generic "D" label... but even that "D" label is alphabetized!!!) I can only imagine that they go through their bins a few times a week to assure this and I very much appreciate it! Their jazz section upstairs seems to be enormous, and look up on the walls- their more valuable "wall albums" are scattered throughout both floors. A $5 record bin in the back of the first floor offers some great classic rock (even some 60's era Rolling Stones!) at a budget-conscious price. This is great for folks just getting into vinyl and wanting to explore some rock history.

    i've been coming to Euclid for about six years. I buy really everything use new, hip-hop, rock,…read moreclassic etc. I'd say the best thing the store has going for them is the vibe the store has as well as a selection of great items. However, selling records to them, I would not recommend as they only give you a quarter (less than half) of what they sell for. Things they could improve on would probably be customer service, a lot of the workers seem like they don't want to be there and just have pretty poor attitudes, very nose up kind of people sometimes depending on who's there. There is this one girl, who I'm not sure has a soul behind her eyes because she always has a look on her face that just says "i'm kind of a c-u-n-t, & and I don't wanna be here" Bring back the old stickers
