What customers say

Very chill environment. Its a nice little space to browse around for CDs, vinyls, and even some cassettes. Used and new. I was also surprised by the broad amount of music they have here. They have classic rock to mac demarco to dawn FM.

★★★★☆ — John, 2022-02

As a metalhead I find it somewhat difficult to find various copies of the bands I adore on both cd and vinyl. This place, however, is simply amazing. Great selection of metal (new and old) on both formats. They even have a limited selection of patches to throw on a battle jacket.

★★★★★ — Ken, 2022-04

I visit a few times a year and everytime I leave pleased. The owner is sweet, always ask if I'm looking for something specific. Always checks if she has it in stock. I've also order cds through the store twice and never had an issue. Products are new or used and priced fairly.

Exile on Main St is one of my regular local record stores I frequent. And probably the best. There’s such an outstanding collection of CDs, Vinyls, DVDs, BluRays, stickers, patches, books, and more merch. They have everything for a music fan! New and used!
