What's on the wall
“On the rare occasion you can't find what you are looking for, chances are they can order it for you, and/or you're going to find something else.”
“I was amazed and it reminded me of the shops I used to frequent back in the day.”
What players say again and again
“Huge selection of vinyl, both used and new; helpful staff.”
From the reviews
Seems to have every record you could imagine. The records are inspected and rated on a scale of quality, and the prices are pretty good. I bought a record, several 45s, and vinyl cleaning supplies here, all for a good price. I went home and played my records, and they weren't lying about the quality.
Huge selection of vinyl, both used and new; helpful staff. Can't speak to the movies, CDs, etc since I was just there for a vinyl. But I went in for one and left with four after forcing myself to stop browsing before I spent even more money than I'd meant to 🤣
Plan to spend a good bit of time here if you want to really look at everything, it feels like an endless inventory yet it is very well organized. Really nice mix of newer music and older music. Staff is very friendly. Definitely will visit again and again
Went here for RSD black Friday. Not only is it a great record store, but the staff is also exceptional. Thank you for your help.
Selling or trading gear at Record Connection
Record Connection comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
