Where to find The Record Collector

What customers say

I’m a business owner myself, so I walked in here with a different set of eyes than most. Sanders has owned this shop for over 50 years and yes — he’s not going to hold your hand if you’re just browsing with no intention of buying. I get it completely. His time is valuable and so is his knowledge.

★★★★★ — Mona, 2026-06

The store is not for browsing. It is a gallery that holds more music, messages and history than many libraries. The owner and staff welcome serious collectors who know what they want and respect the institutional knowledge they carry.
