"Great customer service, selection, and prices. They are also one of the few record stores I've seen that actually has record players to test before you buy."

"Vast selection of genres on vinyl record and CD. Staff is professional, knowledgeable and helpful. We spent about an hour and a half searching for music. Will come back during our next visit to California."

"Immense selection of records of all different genres. Not slot of metal which husband is into but.. folk, jazz, blues, rockabilly etc... so much, I mean A LOT. Owners are really unobtrusive and you can browse undisturbed plus they have 2 record players with head phones so you can actually sample the records you're thinking about buying beforehand- smart. Records are simply stacked on shelves and organized..I like this place, it's vast."

John R (Johnny Reviews):

"Talk about a great record store. Prices were really good and much better that other similar stores. Store had tons of options from. Vinyl, to cassettes, Cds, even 8 track. What's great is even with a massive selection the store is well designed space wise so you don't feel cramped or have to move out of an aisle for someone to pass by. Whole staff helped me figure out the names of bands and songs, all of them were super helpful with out being pushy salesmen. I do not give out a 5* often but their level of service, price, location and space really makes me want to go back."
