I love this spot I’ve been coming here for years for DVDs that you can’t really find anywhere else yes they’re used but they’re in perfect condition. Recently I started up my record Collection and found a bunch of records for $.99 cents so excited.
The customer service is wonderful Kelly who works at the cashier has been there for years always greets me with a warm smile and a friendly hello and I always look forward to seeing him. Now that’s great customer service with a smile. Would totally recommend this spot. Two thumbs up.

Some of the cheapest criterion blu-​rays I’ve seen in the city. Also they pay you more than others when you trade em in. Love this place. There’s a reason they got mentioned recently as one of the best record stores in the city. Friendly staff and awesome rare vinyl, CDs (even concert bootlegs and Japanese versions of CDs) not to mention an awesome DVD/​blu section and video games. I recommend this place to anyone seeking a good deal or a hard to find item.

How did I miss reviewing this one???
I check out this shop whenever I have a dental appointment as my dentist is in the Village – so at least 3 times a year. It is hit or miss, depending on what I’m looking for. The late few times I’ve picked up a TV series on DVD; they always have something on my list. Before that I’ve found a few jazz CDs or non jazz CDs.
In general, the selection is good if you are seeking more «mainstream» stuff – Joy Division, Cure, Depeche Mode, 60s rock, 90 alternative, all the current music that sounds like music from the 60s-​70s-​80s-​90s – they generally have a good selection of that. If you are looking fore rarer treats, you probably wont’ find it here. (Go to Sonic Boom).
The jazz selection is pretty limited but again, I have found gems including a Bill Evans CD (Conversations with Myself). Hint – check the front left side. They have had one of the essential Louis Armstrong boxed sets before.
Prices are very fair – a little below or even with the other shops.
Worth mentioning: it feels very relaxed in here and is never too crowded which makes for good digging, especially on a hot summer day.
I have never had an issue with a CD (or DVD) skipping.
The guys at the cash are always nice and chatty if you feel like talking. They have often offered me extra CD cases.
They have even bought back a few DVDs.
I can’t recall but feel like they do special sales from time to time.
If you are still buying physical media, this is a great store to check out. Bonus – super easy to reach as it is just a few steps off the Yonge Subway!

Small hole-​in-​the-​wall used music and DVD store located close to Yonge and Gloucester Streets that has the best selection of used CDs and DVDs in the Church & Wellesley area of Toronto. Store has an excellent layout allowing you to find what you are looking for quicker. Although their used DVD section can use some expansion, the prices and variety of titles is a plus. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking to expand your music collection without breaking the bank.

Fantastic music shop with a good selection of music/​movies to choose from. Even hard-​to-​find blu-​rays aren’t uncommon. And cheaper than similar stores.

Great shop. Always something different and unexpected! Great selection and you can’t get better prices, not even online! The only thing is that you have to check by yourself periodically!
