What customers say

Accessibility: well right off the bat, the parking is a nightmare here. I looked for parking for one full hour until I found a spot about 3 or 4 blocks away and had to walk. As for getting inside, there is a pull door, then small inside, but a wheelchair could make it in.

This place is awesome! I live in the area so I love being able to walk in and say hello to Caleb while picking up some great albums. I could easily spend an hour or two browsing for vinyl. The owner, Caleb, is great to chat about music with and can always help me find what I need or let me know if he can order it!

Great record store in the downtown area. Friendly staff, fair prices, and awesome selection. Its shops like this, that keep the music alive.

★★★★★ — James, 2024-01

Awesome Record Shop! Great selection of new and used vinyl! Quality over quantity is definitely the mantra around here! The racks aren’t packed. It’s easy to flip through every record. Bring your wallet, because you’re definitely want to buy some vinyl here!
