What customers say

Came up from Virginia to visit family last year, scouted this place out. And finally got to show my son's what a true record store is like. This place is absolutely incredible. A couple hours later and I didn't even get to the other floors. I'll be back in May and Looking forward to it.

Amazing second experience! My father actually wrote the previous review, so you could refer to that for our first experience lol. Finally acquired my favorite Weird Al vinyl after many places did not have any Weird Al, so seeing not only my favorite, but more than a few Al records was an absolute joy!

The premier place for vinyl, media and related collectibles in Central New York. There is a huge 2-story collection of vinyl-era vinyl and leftovers from Record Store Day. Decently lit. Plenty of tapes, CDs and a massive collection of 7" vinyl singles.

If you are looking for any type of music, you can find it here. Lots of vintage vinyl. The boxes and boxes of 45s alone need a half a day to go through them all. Three floors of vinyl, cds and band merch. The R&B funk section has some rare finds and cuts.
