What customers say

Hidden gem in El Paso. Follow them on Instagram cause the owner posts great finds. Many different kinds of records and the owner was really nice. Will be coming back again to get some more records for my collection. Go and check it out in downtown El Paso!

★★★★★ — Steven, 2020-02

The other record stores in El Paso might be a bit larger with more volume but this store is definitely the most unique experience. It's a cozy, lovely little record shop hidden away behind a closed but colorful door inside an obscure building downtown.

★★★★★ — Garrett, 2022-02

Visited on my vacation— owner was welcoming and asked what our preferred genre was. Engaged with us and made us feel welcome. He directed us to the area most suited to us. Prices were reasonable, I’m happy to support local. (Found my favorite, Louis Armstrong!

★★★★★ — John, 2022-10

This place is hidden inside a white building, you can easily find it once you hear the music flowing out through the hall. We walked away with some nice finds and its really worth it to spend your time going through their inventory. I can safely say they have just about everything.
