What customers say

Huge dollar section with records in good condition. Found some very cool records in there. I'm not very impressed with their 45s though. They are in a weird place and are impossible to dig through. I would be nice for them to organize them too. But otherwise, the staff are nice and it's generally a good shop.

★★★★☆ — Liam, 2017-08

Great little record store with some hidden gems. Amazing selection of cheaper vinyls (the $1 bins are always fun to rifle through), as well as jazz and vocal albums. Staff is friendly and helpful. They do have a $10, minimum for credit cards, so make sure to bring some cash.

★★★★★ — Sheel, 2022-07

Fun vinyl record shop with chatty staff. Nice offering of CDs too with good turnover. I’ve found some Roots Reggae and Rocksteady gems here.

★★★★☆ — Emerson, 2024-10

Just got back into my vinyl collection. Went here for the first time 1/12/23. Picked up a few lps. Stones sucking in the 70s. 7.99. Great price Went to two other shops one on mass ave Cambridge. The other Somerville in an ally. The first shop was 14.99. Wasn’t so cheap O. The second 12.99. For the same lp.
