What customers say
great local shop run by genuine people ! prices are very fair and the selection is among the best in the bay area. they regularly buy new collections and i can find something interesting and good every time
The small size of this store belies its massive selection and unbeatable prices. Compared to any Rasputin store in the state, the range of records available here is truly exceptional.
Ambitious buyers of collections, resulting in some great used stock. Bargain bins above average. Minimal reissues/ new records. Listening station always a plus and the space is refreshed frequently. Calvin holds it down with an admirable poise.
I stopped by during my visit back home a few weeks ago. It may be a small shop but it's got a lot to offer. I picked up some wonderful albums. Shout out to the clerk who just let me listen to records for those few hours that I was there!
