This was an excellent record store. Employees were friendly and helpful. Great collection of used and new vinyl. Also loved the sign they had up in support of Trans people. Me and my girlfriend will be back, likely to spend more money than we should on some records.

I never write reviews but this place is fantastic and deserves all the praise. As a newbie to vinyl, I found them to be super helpful, practical, and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service and there was an adorable dog in the shop too. They have more than records. There are skateboards, books, apparel. If I hadn’t brought my kids I would have spent a lot more time browsing.Will be back very soon!

A record store this good can only be born out of Sussex, England. Great mix of new and used, used was clean and new was well priced. Any record store with a stage has got to be legit, right? Go, you will find something you want

Great shop, local business, excellent service. Cory took the time to help my son pick out and build his first skateboard. May have been able to save a few $ purchasing online, but the knowledge and experience of the employees is priceless.

Im so glad there is an alternative to larger record stores in the bay area. (I love them too, but just saying) This place has a great variety of new vinyl. Plus a nice selection of used records as well. My sons barber told us about this shop. (Thanks, Wes) As my son continues to grow his collection, he will learn the beauty of supporting his local record shop.

We took our niece here to pick out her first skateboard. The owner was so helpful and excited to help her build out her skateboard. They also have an amazing selection of vinyl and books. Perfect place to spend an afternoon browsing....

A surprising find! I loved the substantial album collection and skateboards for sale. I was told that there is live music and that the owner is also a skateboarder😁Awesome!

Large eclectic collection of books and magazines. Totally random; dont know how youd find anything here it has to find you. Went to a reading and it was layed out oddly - two chairs abreast, down one row, and then perpendicular. It must have been hard for the speakers to make eye contact in two different directions.

The guys here made shopping here an experience. I went for a skateboard, which they recently started selling in addition to their great selection of records. You could tell that they were super passionate about skating, records, and music in general, and they were really fun to talk with. Great shop!

This place is a little jewel in the suburban rough. The vibe they created in this strip mall is worthy of praise. They have a unique little curated collection of things that I thought only I was into, even a veritable shrine to Blackwing pencils. The only thing was the the prices for the new vinyl seemed high. That said the record I bought ( a limited edition of a new release from the day before) was only $18, so who knows? Regardless, I will be back again.

This store is amazing! If you enjoy music (who doesnt), you MUST stop in to flip though the bins of vinyl, the racks of gear, the books, gifts, etc. You wont be disappointed to took the extra time to check out this GEM!

Excellent co-op style shop for music lovers! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The products are all top notch and made in America (if not made a few miles from there). They seem to value and support the local musicians and craftsmen more than any other place I have been. They have a small selection of used and signed records that are surprisingly high quality and include many rare albums. They also have a selection of extremely nice strats and telecasters, some with an intential worn patina that suits them well. Aside from the products, they also offer live music from local musicians quite often. The support they show for local musicians and the community is heartwarming. I strongly recommend stopping buy.
