What customers say

Bought a used record online several states away, they had great communication throughout the entire process. The shipping was quick and vinyl arrived safely. The condition of the vinyl was better than they described online too, it was a great purchase!

When it comes to small town places, its usually hit or miss when it comes to quality storefronts due mostly to the shop owners unwillingness to change bad qualities they have or by changing so much, they may as well be a Walmart. It's a balance between those you want.

Too much to say! I have lived In McMinnville my whole life, and only discovered this place about 4-5 years ago in 6th grade. This place is the reason I’m into vinyl! The selection of not just music, but posters and more exceeds anyone’s expectations for a small town like this.
