What customers say

This store was a little out of the way for me on my Milwaukee trip, but my Dad told me I should check them out, so I did. Ended up buying about 10 records and found some really amazing and a couple rare releases. They have tons of new sealed albums, somewhat limited on used, but the new stuff is great.

I walked into Record Head and was immediately impressed. I spent over an hour just taking it all in—this place is truly an audiophile’s dream. The store is spacious and laid out in a way that allows for long, relaxed browsing without feeling crowded.

★★★★★ — Joe, 2026-06

Stepping into Big Head Records felt like a solid throwback, and I mean that in the best way. The place is tight—clean, well organized, and clearly curated by folks who know their wax.

★★★★★ — Phil, 2025-07

We bought a jukebox recently and have been looking for vintage 45rpm records. We found them here!! Over 200 of them so far. Very reasonably priced, too. Most are 25 or 50 cents. We spent more than three hours looking through the boxes and came away with so many great finds.
