Bought our first turntable here last week. Awesome recommendations by Block St Records for the U-Turn and Edifier speakers. Will be back often to check for new vinyl!

I don’t even own a record player (Yet. Waiting to buy a home so I can take advantage of a sweet sound system to match.) and I love this place so much. Cool collection and storefront, and also a big fan of the one off things you’re able to find in there like limited releases and signed items.I’m nervous of how much money I’m going to spend in here when I do purchase my first record player. Also, wonderful staff. They are all insanely personable and knowledgeable.

Very cool shop. I found the selection to be diverse and well organized with new and used vinyl. Guy behind the counter was polite and informative. Walked away with an album that I had only recently begun hunting for, which always feels good. Theyve got a sister shop in Bentonville that I also hit up, but in my opinion this is the better of the two.

Are you a serious record collector? Are you curious about getting into playing records? Dont know where to start? Block Street has an amazing collection with all the leading genres. The used records are incredibly clean and beautifully packaged. Block Street records is a find, Im very happy that I discovered it on our travels through Bentonville Im from San Diego California.

Visiting Block Street is a must whenever Im in Fayetteville. An eclectic selection of records, from the new releases of each week to carefully curated older classics in good condition. Having a store like this in our area is a great blessing.

They remember me after just a few visits. It seems so small, but its so danged important. I feel like Im part of a community when I go here. What great people. Great selection to boot.

Review №33

The Fayetteville location is one of my favorite places :)

Da
Review №34

Its organized more to encourage patrons to spend time there than to help them find a specific artist. Having said that, the selection seemed reasonably diverse.To be fair, I didnt ask for help. But there are some artists, like alt-J, that are hard to narrow down to a genre. Folktronica? It would be convenient if there were an electronic catalogue so you could look up an artist or album to see if its in stock and where it might be located.

More emphasis should be put on space for dancing, particularly for dancing. A Weekly or bi-weekly street dance would be a perfect remedy for this shortcoming however. Itd be a nice destination spot if there was a corner for specialty coffees and fruity inspired energy drinks. Also, musicians should be allowed to perform. Store management wouldnt have to pay performers by instead allowing the artist to collect a free will donation. They could open their saxophone case or whatever instrument they play and people could drop in a five dollar or even a one dollar tip/contribution/appreciation fee. The musician could call it a fee but the management could just tell the customers they dont have to pay if they dont want to. Its a win-win you see. Both the management gets a musician to perform and the band performer gets paid to do his art. I hope everybody goes to Block Street Records, it IS a good deal!

Review №48

I walked in off the street skeptical at first. Im very judgemental when it comes to going to a record store. Yeah, Im that guy and I wish I wasnt but I am. At first I just saw bins of new records and figured they didnt carry much used. After digging in further the used was mixed in with the new albums.They have a very large selection of Alt, rock, classic and even a decent sized jazz and punk section. The heavy metal selection was small but Fayetteville seems to be more of a jam band town so I wasnt too surprised or disappointed.I ended up buying a Sabbath record and for its age it was in incredible shape. The cashier was friendly and was happy to have a small chat before I left. If Im ever in the area I will make sure to stop in again.

Block Street Records, in both Bentonville, and Fayetteville, Arkansas. Is on par or above record stores in major metropolitan areas. The selection, and helpful, friendly service, will bring you back again, and again, to see what treasures you will find there.

I was very impressed with the selections a smaller place in Fayetteville had. Found some solid garage rock and some Scott Walker records. The staff (Sara) is super fun and nice. This is clearly the best place to buy records in NWA (sorry Vintage Stock). They also sell turn tables, tapes, and 45s.
