What customers say

Great place for vinyl record lovers. They carry both new and used vinyl. Make sure you have a few hours to browse through their inventory.

I could've spent ALL DAY in here. Awesome selection. I barely got thru the punk section and still had a 3 hour drive home, so I never even got into the HUGE SOUL/FUNK section. The guy at the counter was really cool and good prices. Great record store.

I’ve never been to that store before but I’m thoroughly satisfied with my experience. I was gifted some records for my birthday and I noticed the price tag had “Going Underground” on it. So I looked them up, saw how close it was to my house and went. I’m definitely going back.
