What customers say

Great selection of vinyl at reasonable prices!!! Always find some unusual Beatles' items... Good location in Bay View, south of downtown Milwaukee with restaurants, taverns, and terrific entertainment options nearby... Make an afternoon of it!!!

Officially my favorite record store in Wisconsin! The owner is really nice and has the sweetest dog who always loves to visit with customers. Not only do I always find rarities here of my favorite artists (especially for a big ambient/electronic fan like me), but the prices are always great.

I had a good time at Acme Records as someone who honestly doesn't know much about records. I got my first turntable a few weeks ago and a few albums from Goodwill, and wanted to go somewhere I could browse by genre rather than by artist, which this place has so it was great for me.

Got some Spare time & a Love of Vinyl, Put Acme Records on your 2 Do List. Stopped in to get CD’s at this time. Couldn’t find CD’s back in RI. Tired & Annoyed trying to find Music on FM Radio for the last 1,400 driving miles. Ken ? (So bad with names) hooked up on a dozen or so CD’s for $70.00. Cash is King.
