What customers say

Having recently gotten into records, I stopped by Elk City Records to check out their stock. I'm so glad I did. The owner (I'm guessing he's the owner) was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and he genuinely wants to help you find what you're looking for.

I’ve been collecting records 54 years. I’ve been in many stores in that time. This store is one of the best by far definitely in my top five of all time. Phil is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met in the business.

Merry Christmas all you vinyl junkies! I went by Elk city yesterday picked up two jazz and one blues record. I told Phil what I was looking for he helped me find something that was suited to that. I listen to them this morning they were great. My son wants to buy me records for Christmas.

I am new to collecting records, I found this shop online. I stopped in and was amazed at the collection and great prices compared to everyone else locally, some were over half price of other local places, he prices things to sell.
