First time in the shop since it re-opened under new ownership. I loved it! They opened it up a bit. The shop also seems brighter (new paint and more natural light) The racks are well organized. The staff was super friendly as always. Lots of new releases on display.

A classic mainstay of Santa Rosa...1 of 2 of the original owners is retiring and closing, but will reopen as the next record store soon!

Great place to find the classics in vinyl. I always start in the New Arrivals bin by the cashier. Frequently I find enough albums, that I dont want to look through the A-Z section. They really have it all. The only other Northbay used record store thats worth visiting is in Mill Valley.

I love that Hoyt is still doing this! I went there today and spent at least an hour or more browsing. Felt so comfortable. You can literally ask any question about any album and youll get a solid answer. People like this are truly gems of our current world.

This is a great place for new and used vinyl. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Each visit I find something new to add to my collection of vinyl and cassettes. This place is a long standing gem! They have outlasted the corporate chains throughout the years.. pay them a visit and spin some vinyl.

One of the last truly great music stores around. They have a great assortment of music, from rap to rock and classical to bluegrass, and everything in between. Tapes, CDs, vinyl. $1.00 records. A must go for any music lover.

Im not sure if you have to be an audiophile to enter this building, but analytics and left brains alike, be weary.Traveling into this domain will lend itself to the perish of worry and angst.Do prepare with large sums of wealth because I found myself indulging in the practice or throwing money at the cash regitar. Reckless fiscal abandon as I build my musical mother ship to traverse the cosmos.You can check out but you wont ever leave.

I could have spent all day here. The person behind the counter was very informative about the records, and about a lot of different types of music. They have a great vinyl selection and some pretty rad special edition (I still want the 45 Graves album) I will definitely be back.

Great store! I was really enjoying it until some guy came in with a wet cough in the middle of a flu season. He coughed and then started thumbing through records. Of course, that wasnt the record stores fault. I just wish I could have stayed longer.

Im so grateful this store exists in Santa Rosa. Its everything a record store should be! Wide selection of music new and old, in new and used conditions. Ive been building a decent jazz collection on vinyl for around 5 years and this is where 90% of collection has come from. Check out the just arrived vinyl section as well as the bargain CD bins. Lovely, knowledgeable, staff.

Amazing. Support this place! I ALWAYS find a ton of gems in the $1 section, only one has had minor quality issues. And the staff is always so helpful in helping me with anything record-related, even if they dont carry it (ex advice on good but affordable speakers, what to look for at thrift shops, best products for record maintenance, etc)

Review №36

This is a real record store filled with folks who understand how valuable a good record store is to the community. They have an impressive inventory of new vinyl items (based on the size of the shop), and quite an assortment of used vinyl as well. I didnt spend much time in the CD sections because I was distracted by all of the shiny records. They are always nice and they dont bug you while you are shopping. Lots to see and buy off of the walls and behind the counter. Support your local record shops!!!

This is my Main Street, extended family, music history source and record store all wrapped up in one beautiful package. Everything a record store should be. The staff, Hoyt, Doug, Gerry, Ethan, and Josh, are friendly, kind, helpful and just plain personable. Its not just my favorite record store ever, its my favorite store ever. From the day I stepped into the store in the old location in 1990, I knew I had found something special. Long live The Last Record Store!

I have been a customer of Last Record Store since I was a teenager back in the 80s. Back then I would spend hours flipping through new and used CDs to find just the right album to take home. All these years later The Last Record Store still evokes the same feeling.

This is THE place to go for CDs and vinyl in Santa Rosa. Ive been going here since I was a kid and Doug, Hoyt and the rest of the staff have always taken care of me. Special orders, recommendations, diamonds in the rough...you name it and they will probably be able to get you what you need. I cant recommend this place highly enough.

I had never been to The Last Record store previously. I am a fan of the band TooL. They had a connection with record retailers to pre-reserve a deluxe copy of their newest release. The closest store was in Santa Cruz. I love the band, but my old truck guzzles gas. So, I went to plan B. I called The Last Record store to ask if theyll be carrying the album. The person whom answered the phone told me they would be and then asked if Id like to reserve a copy. I replied emphatically yes and thanked them. I picked it up Friday August 30th 2019. The store feels like many record stores Ive been in. They have a hugenormous selection and the staff are very friendly.
