The owners are friendly and can help look for any vinyl record you would like. My family have been buying items for a couple of years now. The store is quite a relaxing space, with banners, and t-shirts to their antiques for sale. They are great to chat with and can help to answer a musical question. Visit them when you in town and are open.

This is THE place to go for the vintage record store experience. They are VERY knowledgeable about music and the depth and scope of their music appreciation is wide and varied as is their stock in vintage vinyl records.as well as other media. Be prepared for an musical shopping experience that is a journey with many stops on the way. YES, they sort their inventory differently than others, but it adds to the exploratory journey of your purchases. They have posters, t-shirts, and yes, coffee too - for those who stick around to talk about music.

Jeff and Jessica are very helpful and funny. I usually come in at least once a week and always find something that catches my eye to listen or watch. I like how they've sorted everything by price rather than genre, it's different.

Came in today and bought a beautiful tapestry and incense. Had a wonderful time. Such a great environment. To be able to get out of a very dark time in my life. I just lost my cousin on New Years Eve. So happy I came in today. Thank you so much for the laughs! ️️

As an Expert Crate Digger and Producer that has traveled the Globe in search of Records I can honestly say this is the WORST record store in the World. All Records are sorted by Price (Huh?) And there is no Dollar Bins. So Basically if you want to Pay $10 for a Barbara Streisand Record then this place is for you! Making it worse is the 5 foot 3 inch schulp Owner of the store constantly talking about how great his store is and that he's been able to stay in business for a few years which is quit the accomplishment LOL

I have visited this shop multiple times and have had nothing but good experiences.

I prefer the records being sorted by price as it allows me to stay within my budget and stumble across artists I had forgotten about or didn't have in mind at the time.

Any time I have questions about a particular artist, album, genre, or recommendations, both Owner's, Jess and Jeff, have been more than willing to help. They will even go out on the floor and pull the vinyl for you when you ask about anything you are looking for. With my taste in music primarily being 20's-50's, I have been surprised multiple times they have the exact vinyl or artist I was looking for. Don't be afraid to ask them!

I really get the sense that no matter if you are a regular or brand new to the hobby or this shop, you get a personalized and welcoming experience every time. They've both been extremely helpful and knowledgeable no matter your taste in music!

After reading some of the negative reviews, I can't help but think they are just trolling. I have visited multiple times even when the shop is busy and have never seen anyone mistreated or pestered like others claim.

First off, the store is sorted by PRICE which makes it incredibly hard to find anything you want without straight up asking the guy who owns the place, no genre, no lettering. The owner was very pretentious, and talks to you CONSTANTLY about how his store is special and gets shipments no one else gets. Usually I would not have a problem talking about my favorite artists with employees except he was talking about how much he actively disliked them and other records. Prices on all hiphop records were ridiculously marked-up, records I bought elsewhere for $48 were available for $70+ at this location. Overall not a pleasant experience, 2 stars because the wife was nice.

I was first excited to go because I'm new to the area, and love shopping for records and CDs. We went in, and I was immediately turned off to the fact that all records are sorted by price, not genre or letter. We were greeted by the owners, Jeff and Jess. Jeff immediately started conversation with me and my friend, and asked our favorite artists and genres. He then proceeded to slander every artist we mentioned. He was also very pushy about the fact that "his store isn't like the others because it's sorted by price" which is weird, but he seemed to push that point a lot. Every record I picked out he said was exclusive and "no other record stores have", but I've found all those records in Seattle for half the price. He made it very clear he didn't like my favorite artists that I listed. Me and my friend kind of awkwardly lingered in the store while he spatted off about how his store is so different. My friend took a used record out of the sleeve to check out the condition, and Jeff kind of yelled at him and scolded him for touching the sleeve. He seemed like he was talking down to us because of our age (we're teens) and he just assumed we don't know how to treat records. However, the one saving grace to the store is the wife, Jess. She was super nice and helpful, and we shared a genuinely nice conversation about a record we both liked in common. The wife was overall the best part of the store and reviews generally reflect that. I personally will not be visiting this store ever again.

Horrible experience dude behind the desk would not leave us alone to browse for our upcoming road trip so off putting. Kept interrupting the convo between my wife and myself and could not take "no" and "were just browsing
not looking for anything particular" as answers. Unless you wanna feel uncomfortable avoid this spot at all cost dude was creepy 10/10 store 1/10. I wouldn't take my kids here if u catch my drift.

I BEG you to bring your business to this wonderful couple, before you search online. Their prices are very fair, and they are simply wonderful people. They truly know their music. They genuinely want to help you on your musical journey. Please remember that vynl is made in small batches, so it's now or never if you find something you like. It will get sold fast, and it will cost waay more online down the road.

If I could give 10 stars I would.

I am a huge fan of shopping local and helping your local economy. Always go to a mom and pop shop before Amazon. That being said this shop was rough. Before you can go in the owner will talk for about 15 minutes about how his store is different than every other record store because it's organized by price instead of genre. If you have social anxiety and enjoy a solitary shopping experience this will be difficult for you. He has an issue with zia records because they "are a garage sale" because they also sell books which he does not. He brought up the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and I learned that if you mention you understand how it will go since you've been in the military, he will suddenly stop talking to you and walk away.

Now, if you're a super gregarious person and love interacting with people and have a general distrust of Spotify and YouTube music/anything invented after 1990, this is the place for you. My husband had a grand time and would give five stars. I had anxiety and left while he was checking out (took 20+ minutes).

As far as atmosphere goes the lights were full of bugs and the floor hasn't been swept or mopped in probably a year.

Super place to go for vinyl. Jeff and Jessika are super nice and very knowledgeable. I was passing through from Texas, and they shipped two albums I bought there to my house. A KISS Creatures of The Night Album with Vinny only the cover and a limited 200-gram pressing of Jimmy Hendrix's Are You Experienced. I highly recommend this place!

This is a great place to find any vinyl you want the owners are fun, helpful and knowledgeable. I love the way they have their inventory sorted by price and not alphabetical, gives u the sense of old school record digging, that doesn't mean they don't know where records are though. They have a good way of finding what your looking for, or letting you know if they have it in stock. If you like collecting or interested in starting I would definitely recommend going here, and if vinyl isn't your thing they have cd's, vhs, even laser disks, and much more I'm forgetting. So support local businesses stop on in, and I'm pretty confident you won't leave empty handed.

The atmosphere is great, the customer service is amazing, and the selection of vinyl is massive! I've shopped online and in-store now, and they've never failed to communicate clearly with me. Genuinely nice people that make you feel like you've known them for years. They carry vinyl, tapestry, CDs, shirts, and other fun stuff, so there's no way you can't find something you like. It's a nice hidden spot I wish more people knew about. Can't wait to buy again:)
