What customers say

I guess they may have the most reasonable prices for their vinyls and CDs I have been around Seattle area. Hard to believe they just opened 8 months ago since they have got all these old stuff. They have got tons of collection of vinyls and hundreds of CDs.

This place is just GREAT! It's pretty new (~1 month old), the staff is great and personable and the prices are right on. For now, it's mostly used vinyl of all genres, but they do have some CDs and cassettes. There's a lot of inventory that's not up right now because it's still being checked and priced.

★★★★★ — Vance, 2022-11

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Prices are better than other record stores around the area. And the most important thing, at least to me, was that it was super organized, which I really appreciate when it comes to record/book stores. Well deserved 5 stars! 🤘🏻

★★★★★ — Vania, 2023-08

One of the best record shops I've been to in a while! So much range for a little store, I loved it! I found an old record that I've been looking for in shops for ages. They also sell CD's! Lovely staff, lovely vibes, very nice. Five stars 🌟
