Omega Music

I go way back with this place, all the way back to route 48 and the original owner. I was so happy when they moved to the old Gem City Records building on 5^th Street, much better and safer location. It got harry a few times up at the old main street location, in fact I stopped going there for 3 years even though I missed the old guy, he passed away, and I think his kids took it over, and they really have done a great job.
My favorite record shop period is Everybody’s down in Cincy, but this shop has moved into the upper echelon of used music stores. Same vibe, with reasonable prices, and OK selling prices, but understand all of these places don’t really pay much as condition and demand is central. You had better do your homework especially if you have jazz like 50’s and 60’s Blue Note or Prestige label stuff, you could kill it your self on eBay, or really get taken to the cleaners by these record shops. But it’s a business, they have to make a living.
Tip: If you’re selling easy listening or big band swing don’t bother they don’t want it, and hardly anybody else does either. Think vintage Small group jazz, or funk, Blues, Soul and Funk. Hair metal and thrash metal vinyl, progressive rock like Pink Floyd is sought after. Beatles, Stones, the Who, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix sells well.
Overall prices are OK, not as cheap as Everybody’s in Cincy. The bargain bin is where the real finds are at Omega. Jazz vinyl is reasonably priced I think.

I’m spoiled by amazing record stores in Cincinnati, but Omega is one of my favorites in Ohio.
Omega has a large selection of used and new records, CDS, Tapes, DVDs and stereo and record player accessories.
When it comes to records which are what I mainly go after and buy here, I actually find a lot of records that I can’t find anywhere else. Out of everything they have majority are records.
I think they have one of the best selection of 7″ & 45’s out of any record store I’ve been too or go too. They have a huge selection of them and they always have a great mixture of types of music throughout all of them.
Omega also has a great «Local Music» section off to the side of the store. I always appreciate that. Supporting local music is what is up.
The prices here are great, more than reasonable. The guys who work here are always super cool and helpful. Not music snobs, not pretentious or judgy. Which is always appreciated.
Great location in the Oregon district and they have a whole lot next to the building that you can park in.

So if you’re looking for music, look no further. CD’s, vinyl, accessories, used/​new, vinyl, t-​shirts, trinkets, vinyl. They’ve got it all PLUS did I mention they have vinyl records?! Any decade, virtually any act you’re looking for, any style — you’ll probably be able to find at Omega. And I was amazed at how perfect all of the used records were, especially for such decent prices (shocking when they’re being jacked up everywhere else thanks to the hipster craze). My favorite part: everything I looked at was in actual alphabetical order so it seemed like the employees took their jobs seriously helping customers out (organization is key when skimming through thousands of records!). A cool environment that reminds you of 80’s punk without the attitude — everyone seemed super friendly while we were checking out and left their audiophile opinions to themselves. Thankfully it was not a High Fidelity-​experience, so I felt very comfortable looking around and taking my time finding what I wanted. Great ambience, great selection of music, great prices. Omega’s amazing!

Love this place! Where me and my boyfriend are from there are no shops like this! We spent hours in here looking through vinyl and CDs. They had a bunch of good indie albums we picked up liars Mess which is so good. We also picked up some incense, they had a bunch of high quality variety for a dollar cheaper than I usually get them. Plus they had a pile of band posters mostly album promotion ones in various sizes up to 11×17. Very good quality prints of all kinds of bands we loved, like Tune Yards, Conor Oberst, Pianos Become Teeth, etc… one free with purchase and the others at just 25 sense a piece. Pretty sweet deal. Really enjoyed ourselves here, will be back for sure next time we’re in town.

Omega is an average record shop in my opinion. They have a decent selection of vinyl, but mostly new records in the Alt, Indie, punk, and metal sections. I think they did a good job separating the hardcore bands in their own category. They have a small section of audio equipment and rare vinyl. They also have the typical used DVD wall. Prices are pretty much at market value and didn’t see any good deals. Don’t see myself returning anytime soon.

Just picked up the new tame impala LP, great place. Also found the rockers soundtrack here. Jah bless

Made my first visit here Friday night. Great store with a massive selection. Wish I had more time to browse. Some titles were pricey, but that’s any record store these days

Omega Music is that classic record joint to go diggin in the crates to find obscure funk, jazz, salsa, samba, hip-​hop, arabic disco all types of oddball stuff to rediscover and reinvent! If you’re traveling for beats, definite make this place a stop over to explore! Great knowledgable staff (family owned!+), good service, prices are decent and negotiable, easy to navigate, cd’s, books, paraphernalia, dvds and all type of other knick knack available! Free stuff there too! Go!

Great record shop with a decent selection and prices.

Not a bad store lots of records to dig threw… prices not to bad maybe a few dollars higher than I really want to pay but deals can be found if you dig… there’s a good mix of rock, country, some punk and metal as well can’t say as far as others cuz I did not really look threw them…

Awesome music store selling old school 45s, cassettes, DVD movies, 33s and lots of CDs. Big selection. They accept trades and repair turntables.

I have been to the new Omega Music on 5^th (where Gem city was) a few times. While they are a little on the expenisive side they do have a great selection of hard to find vinyl. Also, if you look in the bottom bins you can find great records at very decent prices between 2 and 8 dollars ususally. I was pretty excited to find a Mink Deville album for 6 dollars in mint condition! a+
