What customers say

I came to People’s Records for a rare find, and staff here went through great lengths to help me find it. They also gave some great local recommendations for coffee and street art. The selection of 45s here is unmatched, and the digging here is truly endless, you’re sure to find gems.

Coming from New York, and being a child of the vinyl age I was transported!!! There's no shortage of record stores or thriftspaces to find black gold in NY. PEOPLES RECORDS The pleasure was mine watching my daughter picking vinyl and vibing with the OG's in the store.

Stopped in here while visiting Detroit for work. The staff was friendly, the selection is top notch, and you'd be hard pressed to find better priced and higher quality vinyl. Adding more Detroit trips to my work calendar just to come back here.

★★★★★ — Allen, 2023-09

I've been shopping at people's records since 2003, back when they were located in the basement of the forest arms apartments. They have a great selection of albums, 12-inch singles, and 45, as well as used 8-tracks and cassettes.
