On 5/15/2026 Julia DiPiazza had this to say:
Truly the best record/music store I've ever been to. I could have spent HOURS here and there would still be so much left to discover. Already can't wait for my next visit!

On 5/1/2026 John Wehrs had this to say:
Nice local resale shop with a comfy vibe and a listening couch. Good selection and pricing. If you're looking for something particular to come in, they can put your name on the list and give you a call.

On 4/10/2026 Ryan Nunsure had this to say:
One of my favorite spots to stop by at! They have a VERY wide selection of older pressings, CDs, and cassettes. For an awesome price too. I’ve bought some music for as low as $1! The staff are very friendly and often offer deals out of the pure kindness of their heart depending on the circumstances. For example, one of the tapes I bought wasn’t in the greatest condition (appearance wise) and they offered to cover that one for free. Only cons I would say are that they don’t have the biggest variety of newer music and their organization can sometimes be a bit overwhelming/unorganized. However, if you’re like me and like to spend a couple hours digging around, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue :)

This is a fun little record shop with something for everyone from Slim Whitman, to Adam Ant , to AC/DC.
