One of my favorite places to hunt for records. The owner is a nice guy, very knowledgeable, easy to talk to. He has all kinds of stuff. Place is a little small and he has so many boxes of stuff it can be a little overwhelming, but if you know what your looking for ask and he will help you find it. If your looking for a grail or just something common chances are he will have it. Overall good place, good guy, ok prices. Have been back many times.

GREAT SPOT!!!!! They have a little bit of everything when it comes to vinyl. Great prices and friendly staff, stopped in looking for something specific and ended up staying over an hour looking through vinyl and talking and laughing sharing stories about music. Highly recommend stopping by

I went there the other day but the door was locked. Maybe they were out to lunch. I so like this establishment though. My favorite comic & record business in Ft. Myers. I would recommend you stop by and check this place out.

Lots of records in this small place and tons more packed in boxes which seem to have taken over everything here. Prices a tad high and many boxes with other records that the owner will refuse to let you look at, since he hasnt sorted them yet. Very tight spaces, almost resembles a hoarders home, but with boxes of comics, records, 45s and other stuff everywhere. Even boxes on top of the Beatles albums!! And so many used and vintage turntables that are visible, but you cant look at them because they are piled on top of each other! More stuff in that tiny, narrow pathway to the restroom you could imagine that probably hasnt been sorted in years!! Suggestion, try to move into a much bigger room, itll look much more organized. 2/5 stars

Love this location. I have not been back in 10 years, since moving to Orlando, but he has tons of vinyl records, a bunch of DC & MARVEL action figures from the 90s and early 2000s. Cassette tapes and statues on sale as well. Ralph is always welcoming and cool as hell. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Ralph is one of the most knowledgeable people in the music business. If you are looking for something rare or off the beaten track, this is the place to go. Mail order is also available!

Im convinced this is the best record store in the Southwest Florida area. I used to live here but moved to Naples, but whenever I go out hunting for records this is where I go. I never have to call in and ask if they have something because 99% of the time they have it and more. The only time I had trouble finding a record is the first King Crimson album, which after 3 visits to buy other albums, they ended up having it! This place is amazing.

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. Wow! Ill start out by saying if youre looking for a neat, tidy record store, never mind. This place is wall to wall boxes of records ranging from used mixed bins where youll need to hunt to somewhat organized bins categorized by band and the alphabet. BUT theyve got EVERYTHING! Records Ive been hunting around for or the stuff you have to but off eBay for six figures (I dont do that by the way) are yours for a fraction of the price. On my first visit, I walked out with 4 albums Id been searching for as well as 4 amazing surprises (8 total) for just under $45. And the folks who work there know and love music and know theyre inventory. Awesome place - what a find!

Review №44

Visiting from Canada, and even with the US exchange, I found the prices affordable for some rare vinyl finds. With boxes of stacked vinyl and blacked out windows, it aint a pretty place, but perfect for crate digging and finding the good stuff with knowledgeable staff to point you in the right direction.
