From the reviews

I can’t get down with the bad reviews of this place. I’m glad I didn’t listen. This place is a vintage media lovers dream. So many hidden gems. Every genre imaginable. Owners a nice guy. No complaints, but be prepared to dig into and move a few boxes. That’s part of the charm.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Nov 2024

Spent a day bouncing around record stores in Baton Rouge and this one was my favorite. Both people working the shop were helpful and patient. He'll make you a deal if you buy things in bulk! Has a particularly impressive collection of box sets and old school video games. Definitely a place to support and re-visit.

★★★★☆ — Plus, Aug 2019

Best record store I’ve ever been to. This place for the crate diggers. People who have an extensive knowledge of music will really enjoy it here. I understand how it could be overwhelming for some it could be in this store, but this place has everything. All the deepest cuts are here.
