You'll need the right attitude for Flipside. The variety is immense (5 stars) which is why I'm…read moregoing back. But it feels like a hoarder's basement! The prices seemed high for playable records, I saw nothing under $20. All too many of the covers were badly worn or the records scratched, for these prices I think an album should be pretty outside & unscratched inside. Not everything is overpriced, there's also an enormous section of $1 albums, completely unsorted. The center rack is sorted by artist with sections for rock/pop, jazz and hard rock. But it's tough to get to that rack, all aisles are hopelessly cluttered with boxes of unsorted vinyl, packed so full that you cannot get past other people, stacked so tightly that you cannot reach the racks to flip thru, it's just unpleasant. If you're patient you may indeed find something you'll treasure. I bought a playable, non-collectible pressing of a 1985 rock album for $20, that was about the same as the fleabay price but here it was instant gratification and support of a local business. I was surprised this music business couldn't bother to play interesting tunes on a decent sound system, here it's just staticky radio through cheap speakers, meh.

Not easy to search through or get around but it's all about the dig. Pretty well organized as far as genre. I knocked a few things off my want list. Prices were pretty reasonable for the most part.

I would hate to see it close so I will be making this a regular stop. If you're an old school collector, you'll enjoy it.

Excellent Experience with TJ and Mike…read more TJ is thoughtful and courteous at all times. This is a busy store and I admire and respect anyone who can run such a challenging business. Mike's a big guy and my first reaction was, "I'm scared of him". Turns out he's a retired NYC Detective and once we started to chat, I found him to be charming and extremely engaging. I'm in the process of relinquishing my LP collection (I'm 72 and have a pretty big inventory). Hence, I'm a seller and not a buyer and yet I have been treated with respect and courtesy and was very happy with the transactions. Bottom line is that Mike (and TJ) are music lovers and that's why they do what they do. Highly recommended from a Hastings on Hudson resident.
