Elk City Records 601 Maryland Avenue, Charleston, WV 25302

"I am new to collecting records, I found this shop online. I stopped in and was amazed at the collection and great prices compared to everyone else locally, some were over half price of other local places, he prices things to sell. Phil was very helpful, he helped me understand the 45s better and gave me an adapter so I could play them. I definitely recommend this shop, I cant wait until I am able to come back!"

"Merry Christmas all you vinyl junkies! I went by Elk city yesterday picked up two jazz and one blues record. I told Phil what I was looking for he helped me find something that was suited to that. I listen to them this morning they were great. My son wants to buy me records for Christmas. Ho ho ho off the elk city we go, lol! I have been record shopping since the late 60s this store is definitely in the top five. So if you’re looking for some records don’t know exactly what you’re looking for Phill can help you!"

"I’ve been collecting records 54 years. I’ve been in many stores in that time. This store is one of the best by far definitely in my top five of all time. Phil is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met in the business. Always a pleasure talking to him knowing confidently I can depend on him to put me in the right direction. He has been a fantastic help in the extensive blues collection that I currently have! Thanks Phil make sure and keep the doors open for us"

"I made a trip to Charleston from Beckley to check out their three vinyl record stores. Elk City Records is the bee's knees! Phil, the owner, is very personable and knows his inventory well. He is delightful to talk to and provides a discount for first timers in his shop. Elk City Records has a great selection of used vinyl in whatever genre you'd like. I highly recommend this vinyl shop."

"Having recently gotten into records, I stopped by Elk City Records to check out their stock. I'm so glad I did. The owner (I'm guessing he's the owner) was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and he genuinely wants to help you find what you're looking for. I picked up an REO Speedwagon album I had been looking for plus a Pat Metheny album. It's great to see that there are still people who practice such great customer service; I'll be going to Elk City Records for my record fix from now on! Also, photo credit to my girlfriend. It was her first time going in a record store and she loved the look of the place (as did I)."
