The absolute best record shop Ive ever been to. Great records at fair prices and theyll let you exchange anything youre not satisfied with. The owner, Jim, is a legend in the local music scene and its easy to see why: Hes friendly, wise, and a good man. I love this store and do not pass through Troy without checking to see what their latest selection looks like.

Too many albums that skipped. Owner seemed offended that I followed his policy and exchanged skipping and even a warped record. Says he put them back on the shelf. Taking by business elsewhere.
