What customers say

Probably the best record store in Kansas. Great selection, awesome staff, very clean and well-organized. Buying and selling are both pleasant experiences and this has been my go-to for Record Store Day for a few years now. Cannot recommend this store enough and I would love to see it continue to grow and expand!

We are lucky to have the Record Ship in our city. Great prices, selection and a very welcoming owner who appreciates his customers. The other record stores in town are very solid as well. Please support!

Classic rock, new rock, metal, punk/new wave, r&b, country, even a great selection of soundtracks and comedy records.
