Great place for new and used vinyl. Frank and Rusty have been very friendly and helpful.

The Record Connection is like walking into a time warp; I love this place! I have found records from my grandparents and my parents timelines - late 1920s and up. Music I was exposed to by my much older brothers - the Summer of Love 1968+. And brand new vinyl - Taylor Swift - Midnights.

★★★★★ — Deborah, 2023-09

I have been to record stores all across the country and none has ever compared to the greatness that is the Record Connection. The selection, the atmosphere, and the owner, Bob, all make it a one-of-a-kind experience. If you're a record collector, a music fan, or a lover of books, I cannot recommend this place enough.
