What customers say

Awesome shop with great folks that work there. The best record store on this side of the hill. They have all the latest releases in and can generally special order anything you’d want. They also sell record players and accessories, music related books, skateboards and cool food items.

My go to record store. Huge selection, friendly staff, great used barn finds and good prices. They also have a great, honest, rating system for used records. They’ll also order you pretty much anything you can’t find. Great selection of local artists too. Highly recommend.

This was an excellent record store. Employee's were friendly and helpful. Great collection of used and new vinyl. Also loved the sign they had up in support of Trans people. Me and my girlfriend will be back, likely to spend more money than we should on some records.

Love! Love! LOVE this record store! I was a fan of them even back at their old Tice Valley location, but I’m so happy they found a new home (still close!) and that they’ll get probably better visibility here.
