What customers say

This is a fantastic shop. I'm a record store manager in an indie shop also, but this store impressed me very much. Many genres represented in their own sections, mostly alphabetized. The new stuff was inexpensive, curated well. The used stuff was super affordable, I felt like I was committing crimes.

Place is awesome. Great selection of old and new. Gave me some free advice on fixing my old record player. When they didn't have the answers they sent me down the road to a guy who did. They also have a phonograph player over 100 years old that is powered by hand crank.

Absolutely incredible shop, staff/owner are so knowledgeable and kind! I’m in a wheelchair so most record shops are super tough for me to get around, not only did they go above and beyond to make sure the shop was accessible but they helped me pull records out of bins and were fantastic company!

Along with Harvest this is one of the 2 best record stores in town. Incredible used selection. The staff knows their inventory and the vinyl world backwards and forwards. Both fortunately and unfortunately they're the furthest record shop from my house in the area.
