    Service: This is more self-serve or look for the vynal of your choice Selection: Lots and lots to choose from from Bjork to the Z's Value: Depends on what your looking for Super cool vynal record shop, it's like going back in time. I loved it!

    I personally haven't had a bad interaction with the people behind the counter, but I'm planning on going back soon so we'll see. I have been scouring the Seattle area for good punk record stores- I've just moved here from SoCal and dearly miss my favorite, Kaos records. This was a super exciting find! They had shirts and a few posters and patches, which I haven't been able to find at any other record store here (except Singles Going Steady near Pike Place!!). A lot of them were definitely more expensive than Amazon, but are worth paying for if you think about the risk of a vinyl getting damaged in the mail. CDs were further marked up so I'd probably go somewhere else for those. This shop has a particularly large selection of metal but a decent amount of punk and some good rap/hip hop. Five stars relative to the other ones I've visited thus far :-)

    Found this shop while out for dinner in the area. Great service and selection. Tons of vinyl and music related merch. I scored a soundtrack I'd been looking for :) If you collect vinyl this is a great shop.

    Seller has Bowie's Blackstar vinyl listed on eBay, specifically the RTI pressing, for $39.99 plus $5.99 shipping. I inquired if they were sure it was this pressing, said they were confident but not 100% sure. I said I would order but return if it wasn't (listing says free returns within 30 days), so I ordered and paid. Seller said they don't do returns would rather cancel, that now they're not sure it's the RTI pressing, then relisted the item on eBay for $49.99 plus $6.99 shipping, with the comment "exact version unknown, I think it's RTI but I can't be sure". Super shady and dishonest. Avoid.

    Amazing records from Zions Gate, Seattle

    This record store is 75% Metal and it's so awesome!!! I travel to Seattle every other month or so and I never miss an opportunity to spend at least an hour here (sometimes longer). It is an absolute destination for me. Greatest metal selection I have ever seen, period. They have a lot of other music too. Prices are $30-40 per album across the board. So budget accordingly and don't expect cheap vinyl here. (Thrift store is down the street.) Zions mostly traffics in new, in the wrapper, vinyl. I really enjoy coming here. Great, cool neighborhood. Thousands of titles. Always bumping something good and heavy over the speakers in the store. If you're into vinyl, and in Seattle, you need to get you A$$ to Zions Gate!

    Pretty expensive records, I came looking for used records but they are very very hidden. Pretty intimidating and the prices discouraged me.

    Sup Pop started it all in Seattle!…read more Thank god a SUP POP store is now located in downtown Seattle, I need a place to actually view, smell, taste & purchase vinyl. Now before I rant and rave anymore it must be said without certain bands in Seattle before Sup Pop started, there would be no Sup Pop, so it's time these bands get a shout out for being the original Seattle scene: TKO CULPRIT OVERLORD  ( Grunge before Grunge ) The Heats The Cowboys Shadow The Wild Dogs (Portland Band) I'm sure I left out a few but without these bands you would have Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone or Alice N Chains. What a great store catering to the Seattle Sound " GRUNGE " music. I purchased countless SWAG items and several lp's for the collection on my shopping spree. Hell I even bought a cd special addition from ALICE in CHAINS. No downloads at this store it's real organic old school music purchasing. For you millennial children you actually have to pay for your music like we all did a long time ago. So get with the program and keep music alive by buying at Sup Pop. So now that I've said that FRANK gives a double thumbs up for turning Seattle into music history. I may not like all the artists from Sup Pop however I'm glad there here.

    As a music guy, it seemed important to check out one of the Sub Pop stores while I was in Seattle…read more I actually stopped by 2 of therm, there is one in the SEA Airport (which arguably has more merchandise - at least when I went there) and this one downtown. This one has the better environment if I am being honest, its a corner side of a building store and has cool T-Shirts, books, mugs, turntable mats, etc .....all kind of SubPop merchandise. Its just a retail store to be fair - but worthy of the stop if you are into SubPop records. There is not a huge selection here, but enough to find something cool to take home. I ended up picking up a few souvenirs and chatted with the guy in the shop (super-friendly) Worth a visit!
