What customers say

this is my favorite record store that I’ve ever been to. they were playing such great music that I ended up asking them what band was playing and buying the record! the man who talked with us was super knowledgable and passionate. their categorization was very organized and they had tons of my favorite smaller bands.

Came in THE DAY BEFORE an album’s expected release and they already had it in stock on the floor! Great selection of both used and new records. Very well laid out store, organized and easy to navigate through and around. Super helpful staff if you need it, also not pushy at all if you don’t.

★★★★★ — Tobin, 2025-04

The best record store I've ever been to. I like it even better than Amoeba Records! They know music and all of their music is curated and labeled meticulously. Staff was immensely knowledgeable and helpful. They even had the new Cemetery Souls track, Machines Cry Too, playing which was awesome! 🤩

★★★★★ — Brandon, 2024-01

5 stars even though I didn’t found what I was looking for (some rare metal CDs). I’ve been to few record stores around Downtown Seattle and this one feels most comprehensive. Lots of vinyls, CDs, tapes, all genres, special editions, imports, limited versions, t-shirts, collectibles etc.
