I honestly havent been in the store since before the pandemic, but over the years have stopped in many times and always with a 5 star experience. The owner is friendly, fair and knowledgeable and the stock is top notch. I have been shopping here since the 90s and enjoy this place very much. Highly recommended if you want a nice, clean and laidback time while browsing music.

This wasnt the place I was looking for, but it was a nice, organized little shop. The owner gave me politely info I needed. Plus he shared he had been there 38 years he must be doing something right

Really good selection of many genres, mostly mixed in together. Some vintage pressings but many new records and some good box-sets that many vinyl collectors would enjoy. Great selection of turntables and accessories to help enjoy the records.

August 20, 2020Dear Jeff,I wish to thank you and The Record Connection for your efforts to get me the Raspberries Pop Art Live Vinyl LP. The LP arrived in time and it is in great shape - and I really enjoyed talking music with you. Glad you are doing well in the great Buckeye state! You are the best!Sincerely,TomHebron, Conn.

Popped in for the first time a few nights ago and it was wonderful. Great selection at VERY reasonable prices. Not sure if the guy behind the counter was the owner or not, but he was very friendly and eager to talk about the history of the place, and was totally non-judgmental when I was purchasing The Final Countdown by Europe. Ill definitely be a frequent visitor.

Jeff has been running the business for 40 years, and he is very passionate about promoting and providing quality products for customers. There are many vinyl records in stock, and I could have spent a small fortune if I bought everything that I wanted. I will definitely stop at the store again.

We happened upon this store several years while on a trip to visit family in NE Ohio....what a gem!! Excellent variety, knowledgeable, and very customer-service oriented shop. I recently contacted Jeff, the owner, looking for a specific album for my son-in-law. He came through on my short notice request and made sure the gift was received within the timeline requested. I highly recommend the Record Connection for all of your vinyl and retro equipment needs.

Music is my profession. I spin records for a living. Jeff is a true professional and has a great inventory. If he doesnt have it he will find it. I bought used equipment, Dvds and cassettes there. The main reason I shop there is because hes a great guy who owns a great store..

Always a great variety and I always seem to find an album or two that I didnt think about adding to my collection. You name it, modern or classic, chances are you can find it here. If not, Ive had Jeff order quite a few for me. Great shop and perfect example of why people should support their local businesses.
