From the reviews

I attended the Black Country, New Road listening party and fell in love with this shop. The owner was the nicest/coolest dude I’ve ever met with incredible knowledge and passion for everything records. His wife and the staff working were phenomenal as well! Will only be going here from now.

★★★★★ — Riley, Jun 2025

I was dumbfounded when I found an arcade in the basement, flooded with an endless array of legendary games. The Tekken 5 cabinet for example, has been kept mechanically SOUND by the owner, Phil (I know him on a first name basis because he is just that cool and involved within his store).

★★★★★ — Eduardog72099, May 2026

Great selection and a super cool store! They had what I was looking for (plenty of CD’s) and I’ll definitely come back for more. Great prices and also a super cool basement arcade setup with a great deal of all you can play for $5. Will definitely comeback with my friends to game here.

★★★★★ — Sam, Jan 2026

Selling or trading gear at SolSta Records

SolSta Records 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.
