I have been to Sit & Spin just shy of 10 times. It would be even more if I lived closer, but nonetheless I make it a point to go when I am in Philly or will even make a special trip just to go record hunting. They have some of the best selection of punk and hardcore around. Lots of original pressings too!

★★★★★ — Jeff, 2020-06

Easily my favorite store ever. The staff were extremely nice and more than happy to assist. They have the best punk/metal selection of vinyls and shirts anywhere within a couple hours of me that I know of. I found some very rare records I have been looking for for literally years at awesome prices.

★★★★★ — Ben, 2019-01

Okay this place is super dope. They had my Nebula/Lowrider split on colored vinyl and it wasn’t a hundred bucks. But you see that sticker? Impossible to get the backing off that guy. Still, overall, a record store that rules, and I know because I worked in every cool 80s record store.
