largest and greatest record store in philadelphia. tucked away up some steps on 11th street. good luck finding it. the staff here unlike most places is unbelievably helpful friendly and knowledgeable. their third floor for jazz and rock is a goldmine. and if it ain't there they'll get it for you. check this place out.
