Weird Harold’s Records Cassettes & Cd’s

OMFG. This place is a little overwhelming! If you’re a serious vinyl collector, you should plan on spending at least a half a day here.

In my days of collecting vinyl, I’ve been to two places that seriously overwhelmed me: Amoeba Records in Hollywood and Weird Harold’s.
The ground level had a decent amount, but when you go to the third floor, it’s an absolute record overload! We’re talking boxes upon boxes, and there is no way one person could look through the entire store in two days, let alone one.
The varied genres included everything I could think of, from Classical to Country, Rock, International, Soundtracks, Instrumental, and on and on. I felt meager in the store, which is both good and bad.
Some titles were overpriced, but I’m not dinging them on my review score, because I expect they’d be willing to cut some deals, since it’s impossible to continually re-​price all those titles!
It was a pretty long journey for me to get there, but well worth it! I’m definitely going back sometime before the year is through.

This place is awesome! The record selection is unbelievable! Seriously, head upstairs and prepare to have your mind blown. The prices seem to be getting a little steeper but its not terrible. Keep an eye out for their sidewalk sale. It is beyond awesome. Fifty cent records with a HUGE selection. The quality of the records is pretty great too. One thing: prepare to sweat in the summer. Its on the third floor in an old building. It can be really hot up there. Its a cool old building with some fun décor. Check it out next time you’re in Burlington.

Love this store… Heard about it from family for years. I finally got to go there… LOVE IT! They have lots of Miscellaneous stuff for sale. I got some terrific Christmas ornaments… I will certainly go back when I’m in Burlington.

Where else can you go in south east Iowa to search through thousands of records AND pick out a costume for next halloween in June? (or any month for that matter) WEIRD HAROLD’S
I have been here twice and both times i almost got lost in the upstairs record collection. There are 4 parts of this store, the first floor has a collection of CD’s and some art and framed posters, the 2^nd section is half way up the stairs and it is apparently a place to do your own pottery. Haven’t checked that out yet but it could be fun.
Continue up the stairs to see a GIANT collection of costumes, most of them for rental. If you’re two hours away from here and have a costume party to go to, this is the place to go, it didn’t seem expensive, like 25 to 50 bucks for a 5 day rental and then you don’t clutter your closet with a Mr Potatohead costume.
Finally to the right of that is the equally giant collection of records… I don’t know you’re taste so i won’t say they have EVERYTHING but i was finding comedy albums that aren’t even on CD.
ENJOY Weird Harold’s easily one of my favorite places in Burlington.

Love this record store. Great prices. Original.
