A really neat quirky little place hidden in the back upstairs area of a neat antique store. Really good selection of older pressings — if you are looking for new vinyl, get that just about anywhere else. I walked out with an armful of some great mid century jazz and ’70’s Rock. Very pleasant folks and an overall great experience and very reasonable prices. I’ll be back the next time I’m in town.

It’s not your run of the mill antique store! As a person who listens to a wide variety of music, they get me. They have everything organized into style and alphabetized. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, they are always trying to inventory more music and you just have to ask. Both times I have gone, the employee was knowledgeable about everything from 60s pop to modern rock to jazz. It’s a great experience and everything is at a great price. As an added bonus, they guarantee their records. If its not playing right or if you took a gamble on an interesting sounding record, they will refund you.

Highest rating possible because the father and son who work here are friendly and knowledgeable. They seem very passionate about running this place well and making sure customers are satisfied with their purchases.

INCREDIBLE selection. Was only expecting to pick up a few albums, but man they had a lot, ended up grabbing about 5x what I had planned to, including a couple that were almost new condition, and I barely scratched the surface. Joe is kind, knowledgeable, and PASSIONATE about music and that’s super important. He popped in one of the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young albums and it sounded awesome. I’ll be back! As others have mentioned, it’s a little hard to find your first time, if you go to the back of the antiques(inside The Accents On Us antique shop) and turn to your left, up a flight of stairs that’s where all things music are located.

There is no sign that says its a record store, so look for suite e and it is in a antique store. After navigating around the obstacle course that is a episode of Hoarders dream, you should find some black stairs go up there carefully and there you will find more of a mess, but also some album boxes. There if you are fortunate will find a treasure of many albums, all used. Dude running the store said he had about 30,000 albums which is sizable. I bought two for seven bucks, one was scratched which was disappointing. Also the clerk had no clue that the Unilocal coupon was for. Record stores are hard to find and this one could be really good if they cleaned up the place and made it a bit more accessible.

There’s a reason this place has perfect reviews. Joe, the owner, is the man! I spent an hour or so going through his deep selection of vinyls and came around to buying 6 or so. He have me a great deal and made it personal, asking my name and getting to know me. He’s a great guy and this place is honestly better than sound spectrum and the like. The only downside is that it’s hard to find, but that can also be a plus. Hidden gem

The selection is mostly classic rock, jazz, and classical, with scant offerings of pop or anything post-1985. Everything is used(though I did find a sealed copy of a Go-Gos LP), so it’s all genuine vintage stuff. It’s a small shop, upstairs from an antique store, buried in a small commercial/industrial complex, and that’s part of the charm. Joe, who runs the place, is generous and personable. He threw in a few $ 1 records with my purchase, and even knocked a couple bucks off a clean-ish copy of Thriller for me. Some rare gems to be found too. While it’s not the glitziest joint, it’s charming, and in the end, I walked away with about twice the vinyl for my $ 50 than I would have from anywhere else. That said, the selection of rock/pop is pretty ordinary, compared to most used record stores, and most of the vinyl is in pretty average shape. Bottom line — the prices are low, but the selection and quality is as well(at least for the kind of records I’m interested in). Worth stopping by, but keep your expectations in check.

Nice little reocord shop, upstairs in an antique shop. Well organized with Jazz, classical, rock sections and dollar bin. Defianately can spend an hour checking out vinyl. The 10 $ Unilocal deal is a nice incentive to go find it. Just go to the address and look for E, don’t worry that the antique store has a different name, go in and ask for the record shop upstairs inside.

This place is great. It’s upstairs in an antique store(which is already a little off the beaten path). Once you arrive, it feels like going through someone’s very well-organized attic of rare music gems. Lots of fun finds, including some old turntables, receivers, and headphones. The lady who runs the place is very nice, as are the other employees I met today. Plus, there are two cute dogs roaming the store who’ll keep you company as you dive into the bins. Best part of all is that they currently have a Unilocal deal for ½ off(technically it’s $ 20 of stuff for $ 10). Score!

Awesome record store. Lots of great antique stuff downstairs, huge selection of record upstairs with good deals, a ton of cheap records and a helpful staff. If they don’t have what you’re looking for they’ll order it for you overall great record store for classic and folk rock

This place was great. A good selection of records, including some artists that are more hard to find. Prices are fair for the quality. With the $ 20 for $ 10 deal, I will definitely be coming back.

Great selection of records. The records are located inside the accents on us antique store. The owner was very helpful, the prices were good and there was a cute dog greeting us at the door.
