From the reviews

Great place, they have a good selection of new and used vinyl. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I found a Guided By Voices live album that I didn’t know existed and a used Johnny Winter album in excellent condition and very affordable. This will be my go to album shop.

Awesome Record/Cd/Cassette/t-shirt/poster + store. Large Selection, Very Clean store, Friendly Staff ( Mick ) and Owner ( Rich ) This isn’t one of those dusty, cringy stores. Price wise they are on par with other stores. I’m a Vinyl Collector which is a pricey hobby.

Incredible shop! I just started collecting vinyl and they have a great selection. I really appreciate the Staff Picks, since I would otherwise get overwhelmed. I love digging through everything they have when my family isn't waiting—I could literally spend hours there.

My husband and I happened upon the shop while we were visiting the area and it was one of the most pleasant shopping experiences we've had in a while. Their selection was great, the store was very clean and organized and over about the 30 minutes we were playing there they had a great selection of different music…
