The owner is very friendly and genuine. The vinyl section is more used than new but the new stuff is very eclectic. There is even a local vinyl selection. The prices are fair and the variety is great. A must stop for record collectors.

★★★★★ — Joseph, 2022-02

Excellent $1 and $2 vinyl choices. Fun little shop in a great location. Great choice if you have a kid just getting into vinyl or are a serious collector, and great location relative to the downtown mall, Paradox Pastry, and the ACAC.
