What's on the wall
“Louis, where we take our jazz funk blues soul and fusion very seriously, they have a great vintage collection in excellent shape for prices you can’t beat.”
What players say again and again
“A classic rock fan’s paradise, Spin has a fantastic collection and fair prices, but I most look forward to chatting with Kirk and hearing about his own musical pursuits.”
“Kirk is an incredible business owner and extremely knowledgeable about records.”
From the reviews
This was the highlight of my trip to Boise. Coming from St. Louis, where we take our jazz funk blues soul and fusion very seriously, they have a great vintage collection in excellent shape for prices you can’t beat. Owner very knowledgeable, friendly, fair, and helpful. I just wish I had room for more on the plane!
This place is wonderful! Not every record is going to be in pristine condition, but you are bound to find some sort of treasure. The owner is the best part of the whole package.
I live 6 hours away but I’ve been twice and those go down as my top 2 most fun times in a record store. Kirk is nerdy about music in all the right ways, and will always put on good music and have fun with you.
An absolute must for anyone with a passion for vinyl records and music in general! I only get to Boise 2 or 3 times a year, and I'm ashamed to say I had never had the chance to stop before.
Selling or trading gear at Spin Records Boise
Spin Records Boise 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.
Lessons at Spin Records Boise
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Spin Records Boise. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
