What customers say

i have been to this location a few times over the years and have fond memories. i've purchased a few records there and also some CD's. i went one year for 'record store day' and they were really busy. the parking lot is pretty small but i've never really seen it get too packed.

Excellent store. They have a great selection of used/new stuff on cd and vinyl, from rock to jazz, world, rap etc...the kind of store you go to find treasures. Good prices and friendly people. You can get new releases for 5$ or less.

Excellent for hard to find items...! Can’t find it rare items or vinyl on line? Try here first next time...! Perfect parking without meters...Just look for the art murals @ the huge Rockaway sign...!..

Have loved this place for more than 35 years. Smaller than Amoeba but a preferred alternative for me. I hope they will re-open soon!
