Incredible walking in here not knowing what to expect. A truly eclectic experience. I was transported to a very special place for the duration of my visit. Seeing all of the incredible music offered and a really cool atmosphere really left an impression on me. 5/5 stars!

I rebuilt my vinyl collection at Hanson Records. Aaron and Robert know their stuff. I go back often and will continue to do so. Update: They've moved to the back space on the same floor. Much larger, and they're able to put a lot more inventory out.

It's good but I think you should carry a looooot more wayne newton! Also, Mr. Sauce, the owner is awesome! New:just there recently. New owner is nice. Still a nice little shop, but I really miss the old owner!
