What customers say

I discovered this shop about a year ago when I started collecting Taylor Swift vinyls. I used to pass by it every day on my commute but had never gone in—until the owner posted some records I was looking for on Facebook. He was super responsive and helpful, so I decided to stop by in person. I was instantly blown away!

Legendary independent record store. A staple of Phoenix's music culture. It really hasn't changed much since Don and Dennis owned it. Glad the last couple owners kept the vibe intact. In fact, when Dennis' wife took over, it looked better than it had in a long time. A woman's touch, I guess.

★★★★★ — Jaime, 2026-05

Very neat place. Sells not just vinyl but also instruments and clothes and much more to see and choose from. Mainly came here because they had vinyls for bands most places didn't have. My son was very satisfied with this shopping trip

Neat hole-in-the-wall records shop jam packed with records to the brim. Lot of old records, good quality it looked like, lot of new and old as well - looks like the owner keeps the stock fresh (or tries to). I talked with him for a moment or two, Tim, I think his name was, very friendly.
