"I've dropped in a lot of shops in the north east recently and this is easily one of the best. If you find yourself grinding up I95 for any reason, do yourself a favor and exit here."

"Don't trust the posted store hours. Tried to visit on my way through New Haven (Thursday 9/7/2023 around 1pm) but the stored was closed (store should have opened at 12pm). Waited 30 minutes, but had to get back on the road. Quite a disappointment as I went out of my way to drop in and support this store. What a waste of time."

"We came all the way from New York just to see this record store since it had been recommended to us. However, when we got there, it was closed even though it should have been open. We waited for another 30 minutes (Wed, 9/6/23, 12-12:30) before we left without having even gotten inside. Calling didn’t help either since no one answered the phone. Very disappointing experience…"

"Very cool small record shop. I enjoy visiting record shops in cities I visit and this was a nice addition to my list. Not sure if they just opened as they has tons of records still in boxes but that is the fun in crate shopping! I thought the $$ were going to be high considering it being so close to Yale but they were super affordable! Will visit again!"

"One of the best record stores I've visited. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and clearly only takes in high quality vinyl. There is a huge selection of jazz with a slightly more modest selection of rock yet it is still extremely easy to find whatever you're looking for. I highly recommend."
