Bop Shop Records 1460 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY 14618

"Friendly staff. Clean and well organized! Owner Tom treated us like Family! Showed us the process of how they clean all the used vinyl. Highly recommend buying vinyl there!"

"Cool shop with lots to browse through. Disappointed in the lack of metal and hardcore but if you're looking for easy listening, country, jazz, classical, local music, or something a little outside the box I would check out Bop Shop."

"What a phenomenal shop. I only had time to check out one record shop on a recent trip to Rochester, and everybody told me this was THE one to visit. I'm glad I listened. I planned to just pop in to check it out, but I stayed for well over an hour and I left with a stack of gems, including copies of Maggot Brain, New Grass, and Scheherazade on Living Stereo that were all in great condition, and sounded just wonderful once I got them home and played them. The proprieters were really nice and informative and a lot of fun to talk to. These guys love records, and even more so, they love music. I've encountered a few truly wonderful record shops, like Atomic in LA, or Jerry's here in Pittsburgh, and Bop Shop is in many ways even better than those other venerable joints. Everything out for sale was in really remarkable condition, and that isn't always true in other shops. Discogs has altered the whole landscape of vinyl shopping, but places like Bop Shop offer an experience that is more fun and thrilling in a way that online shopping can't ever re-create."
