What customers say

Nice lil small place I was quite surprised with their selection of hip hop/rap. As alot of record stores don't really care for it. They had a handful of new titles aswell which was cool. It was very hot and stuffy in there so I had to cut my visit short. But definitely worth checking out.

Terrific nostalgic feeling. This store looks and feels the same as it did 30 years ago. I love the variety of things they offer. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I spoke to one employee for awhile about the local music scene. He was very enthusiastic and knew current work by Olympia musicians.

★★★★★ — Allison, 2025-12

Such a beautiful records store. It is full to the brim with inventory of all types, record players, records, DVDs, CDs and fan gear. There were posters, stickers, patches and tshirts. There was even a record listening station. I felt the love for all things music in every inch of the store.

★★★★★ — Tammy, 2026-01

Super cute record store with tons of used records for sale. Listening station for used records, lots of new records with current artists as well. We loved it and will be back! We had all of our kids with us but we want to to back on a date and explore the 98 cent bins, there were so many!
