What customers say

I was remarking to my companion while we were flipping through the new arrivals bins, you could grab any record in there at random, put it on the turntable, and probably hear something interesting. Always a good sign when a shop carries a lot of stuff you've never seen before.

I always walk out of this store with an armful of great finds for less than a c note. Kelly is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable musicians i have met. He is why i come back. Love his music and love the whole tone he sets in the store. If you want to talk, he will engage.

★★★★☆ — John, 2016-05

I love this little record store, the guy who works at the front counter is incredibly friendly and knowledgable. They always have some really great tunes playing when you walk in. Prices are good, and I've found all kinds of treasures over the years. Owner of the store, may he rest in peace, was a special person.

Great record store specializing in 20+ year old records. Newest stuff is local bands only. Lots of old jazz, soundtracks, comedy. Hot items come and go quick, very reasonable prices. Great talk with staff, who was more than helpful and played a couple records for me.
