What customers say
I'm impressed by their metal selection and have been able to find records that I couldn't find elsewhere in town at this store. Also, for the most part, their prices are either average or lower compared to other places. Organization of the store is a little bit scattered, but it's still easy enough to find everything.
One of the best spots in town. Not a lot of collectible rarities but I’ve had a couple of scores here. Lowest prices in town for new vinyl, good folks and well worth supporting. Extensive punk/hardcore, jazz, reggae and rock sections. But primarily new stuff. Tons of bargain bins to dig through too. Place is packed.
I've been buying records here since the late 90s and it never disappoints. Massive selection of punk, metal, jazz, 60s rock and roll etc. They did a killer job of maintaining the feel of the place after their move. Will be back every time I'm in Portland.
THEY MOVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM PLATINUM RECORDS. If you are googling them because you had a panic attack when you rocked up to their old spot and found it empty go three blocks north towards Burnside and you'll find them!!
