Downstairs is possibly the best spot in town for new and used CD's, vinyl LP's and 7-inches, music... more

The best thing about this store is the used records section downstairs even though it smells like an attic and is very dusty. They always change/add to their inventory frequently. But beware, if you don't snag that rare item, you wont see it the next time you visit. I learned the hard way. They stock a... more
