What customers say

Drove an hour to get there only to find it closed at 7:20, not 8pm as advertised. Edit: I finally got to shop here. This record store is unbelievable. Like, you need to experience to believe it. I've never seen a metal vinyl section like this. So many shirts, CDs and various other oddities.
