Euclid Records

Very nice vinyl/​CD store. I love the fact that they have CD listening carousels to preview lots of new CDs that are for sale.
Nice selection of Jazz too!

It was very nice selection of records but the prices are little bit steep. Definitely has a bit of a hipster flair to the place. Still, I came away from this place with a very hard to find Edith Piaf record as well as some Mick Ronson, Hank Thompson, and another hard to find Leon Russell.

It’s not a bad place because they have music for just about every genre of music that may interest you, so check them out and see for yourself when you have time.
Euclid Records has move several times in the years since I first patronized it, and bought CDs and vinyl records; I patronized it when it actually was on Euclid in the CWE of St. Louis all those years ago. Its current location is much different than its immediately previous location. It’s different because it’s on two levels. I had gotten used to the location just before this last move and was comfortable and familiar with it, so when I found out about the move, I was disappointed. I have not gone there enough to get familiarized with the new layout and location. I knew where everything was that I wanted and for what interested me. In the new location, I’m not sure anymore. I ask at least once every trip where something is. I spend a little more time looking around this store because of my unfamiliarity of the new layout. In the old location, I would go in to exactly what I wanted, look to see, get it and leave rather quickly and I cannot to that now. When I’m more familiar with this location, I suppose that I can do that again.
The selection of what they have hasn’t really changed as far as styles of music and the selection of CDs, vinyl records and merchandise. I can still get my CDs of music in French and Spanish, Hard Rock and popular music that I like, and some newer bands and musical groups. They had CDs for some people who played at this years Loufest, too, which impressed me for some reason. They still have new and used CDs, and regular priced and sale priced items.

I have to give this place a 4 star for the ambience and the great selection they have. But it gets a 1 star for prices. Way too high!
As someone who buys records from across the spectrum — garage sales, Ebay, Discogs, Retail — I can tell you these guys have figured out how to cash in big time on the vinyl resurgence hype and the whole «local business» hogwash! I am all for supporting local businesses but not when they are overpriced like this to ripoff the consumer!
Here’s an example — I found 2 identical pressings of a Blue Note Jazz album that’s not entirely hard to find online and a VG+ copy of said album can be procured for under $ 20 shipped, quite easily. Euclid had these priced at $ 30 and $ 45. Now I was hard pressed to tell the difference between these 2 knowing well that they were pressings from the same era. From a visual examination I would qualify both copies as «average» which would make them worth about 5 or 8 bucks in the marketplace. I tried to point this out to the person at the front desk (helpful gal) but she could not really articulate the reasoning behind these prices. At one point she pretty much said, the owner decides on the prices and they have no say in it!
Again, the place itself is good — clean, well organized, good selection and a great vibe for a record store. But it appears to cater to yuppies looking to hang out at cool record stores than to serious buyers who know a thing or 2 about pricing of records. I prefer the Vintage Vinyl’s of the world that may not be the cleanest or coolest place around but they are more reasonable with their prices and have a great staff who know a thing or 2 about their music!

A good, clean, well organized fully stocked record store.

Cool old stuff. You’ll want to look through this place for a while. Definitely worth checking out sometime!
If you are looking for a new activity it could be the place for you.

Go buy some vinyl… it’s good for your soul. *WICKED Jazz selection* New stuff too!

One word: Vinyl.
If you are visitor to St. Louis and you are looking for a place to do some crate digging this is the place.
Euclid’s new store in downtown webster is pretty fabulous.
Staff has always been extremely helpful and also educating in terms of music.
I highly recommend attending a Record Store Day event here.
Pricing is right in line with a typical record store. Used Bob Dylan here? Yep. Always. I have also found some good Led Zeppelin albums in the past also.

Just visited the newly relocated store (19 N Gore Avenue) as an out of towner. Really welcoming store, and you can never go wrong with a 2 story record shop! Plenty of dollar bin records on the floor, but the good stuff is up in the bins. The bin inventory has money on it, but there are deals to be had if you dig! Staff was nice, vintage listening station is a plus, and plenty of new releases available. A must visit!

They have relocated to 19 N Gore Avenue; not far from the previous location.
Great place for all your needs, used, new, etc; in a beautiful two-​floor environment. I’ve been to many of these type stores, and Euclid ranks at the top. Top notch customer service by happy and knowledgeable folks.
Check it out. Not far from central St. Louis.

Best record store in the Lou!
I used to be a huge advocate for Vintage Vinyl, and I still get pretty giddy when I do make a trip to the Loop on a rare occasion. However, I recently made a stop at Euclid Records for a local music showcase, and I now see that this place is my music store of choice.
Something that Vintage Vinyl lacks is a strong selection. I know that might sound odd, considering its size, but the place has been picked clean of most of the gems that I am in constant search for. On Sunday, I wandered Euclid Records between acts and became overwhelmed with grief, knowing that I could spend hundreds of dollars that day without much issue. And a younger, less responsible Christian would have done so! What a drag it is getting old…
Also, I really like the location. Webster Groves is an area that I haven’t explored a great deal, but if I had to live in the burbs, it would be my area of choice. And patrons seem to appreciate the location, too. Despite a projected move this spring, Euclid Records still plans on staying in the Webster Groves area, which I think is fantastic.
I get the vibe from ER that they truly appreciate their clientele. It doesn’t quite have the hipster thing going. During the showcase, they were handing out free drinks and offering all sorts of great deals.
When shopping locally this Christmas, one might consider checking out Euclid Records. The cd and record selection is great, so it’s the perfect stop for any music lover on one’s list!
Avoid Best Buy and FYE this Christmas and patronize Euclid Records.

I can’t describe how great it is to have such a fantastic record store that not only has a huge selection of vinyl and CDs, but also has the decency to not be located in The Loop. Euclid Records, located right in the heart of Webster Groves is by far my favorite place to purchase music in Saint Louis. The store is not huge, but their physical size does not effect their selection. You will be able to find both used and new vinyl and CDs of all varieties. My wife and I will walk in with no intentions to buy anything and walk out with Fleetwood Mac’s «Rumors» and a Fred Astaire album. I’ve been a huge Beatles fan since grade school and their selection of used Beatles vinyl is always changing. If you’re really rich, you can even buy the mint condition Beatles albums they display on the wall.
If you’ve ever seen High Fidelity, it’s that kind of record store, but without John Cusack’s baditude. No holier-​than-​thou hipster behind the register silently judging your purchases. Just friendly, helpful, but laid-​back staff.
Check out Euclid Records. It’s a great place and a gem of Saint Louis.

I love how record stores in St. Louis differ in personality, but they can all be worthy of five stars in their own way.
Euclid Records has a completely different vibe from Vintage Vinyl and some of the louder record stores I’ve visited across the country. Euclid feels more like a library — a library of awesome. It’s not quiet by any means — music is constantly playing — but the music isn’t as in-​your-​face as it is in other stores.
There are all kinds of bins and wall shelves and nooks in which you can find good music. While that can be overwhelming and possibly in annoying in another store, at Euclid, it’s charming. When I go, I feel like I’m digging through my über-​cool older sister’s locked trunk of CDs and albums (If I had an older sister, that is. I turned my younger sister onto Pearl Jam, so maybe I’m the cool older sister? I don’t know. This is getting way too meta for a review.). At Euclid, it just feels like a treasure hunt for things you’ve been searching for forever or things you didn’t even realize that you wanted. No, not «wanted.» NEEDED.
Random analogy:
Vintage Vinyl = The Misfits
Euclid Records = Elvis Costello in the early ‘80s
I heart them both during my various moods.
Big-​time bonus: Euclid Records doesn’t reek of incense. That’s worth three stars, alone.

So… I kind of have a new obsession. And for once, it has nothing to do with bread pudding or running. I know… shocker!
I’m obsessed with The Blind Eyes. Ever since I saw their performance at the Midtown Alley Street Fest, I’ve been in love. Talk about upbeat pop/​rock awesomeness! Think Ludo with less zombie/​pterodactyl references.
Anyway, when I found out via Twitter that copies of their latest release were in stock at Euclid, I knew I had to pick up a copy for myself.
I pulled up to Euclid, found a parking spot on the street, and waltzed in with a goofy hipster grin.
I was immediately wowed at the eclectic feel of the place. How strange that a place like this is in Webster Groves! I almost expect it to be in a different part of town, like the Loop, but then I remember that the Loop already has a place like this (Vintage Vinyl).
There were lots of CDs, both new and used, and a HUGE selection of vinyl records. I also spotted some listening stations where people can test out the vinyl before they buy it. Pretty cool.
Anyway, I grabbed the last copy of The Blind Eyes album, paid, and was on my way.
I don’t know that I’ll frequent this place very often (truthfully, I buy most of my music online nowadays), but next time the urge to have a physical copy of a CD in my hand strikes, I know where I’ll go.

I made my first trip to Euclid the other day on the recommendation of my uncle. He visited St. Louis on business and took an expensive cab ride out to the store and was raving about the selection.
I will second his excitement about Euclid Records selection. I mostly was searching through the bins of used records and their selection of used jazz was incredible. Equally impressive were the used blues and world sections. All the records that I purchased were graded and priced reasonably. There clearly was no insane price gouging going on here. If you want some nice Blue Notes or Prestige pieces, this is the place in St. Louis.
I will also say that it appears that they do a limited amount of Ebay and largely put quality product in their store instead of selling it online. I can safely say that Euclid will be a store that I frequent whenever I am in St. Louis.

I really like this place, despite it being a little inconvenient for me in terms of location. I absolutely love the collection they have here – I’ve found quite a number of gems here (definitely more than the other record stores here in St. Louis). In think pricing here is fair… not too expensive but also nothing that would qualify as a steal. They have their inventory available online as well, although what you see online is not necessarily available in-​store. If you see something on their site that you like but want to get on the same day, you should probably call to make sure they carry a physical copy in store. All in all, a really solid place that you should visit if you’re a collector. Easily one of my favorite records stores in St. Louis.

What a place! First off, i knew this place was good, cause of the lack of Neil Diamond/​Barbara Streisand Records to be seen. Aisles upon aisles dedicated to Jazz, Blues and Americana music. And that’s the way it should be when it comes to vinyl collecitng. The layout of the store is convenient, neatly organized and stragically hip. This is what every record store dreams to be like. I could spend hours here. Prices were great on the records, well, the ones I enjoy. Store had quality all around and no space fillers to give you the impression that the bulkier the better. They have a good stock of stuff that is popular now. Location is ok. Don;t know if the place fits all too well in the Webster Groves area, but it will do. I prefer this place more than vintage vinyl. come and see! then you can walk over a block to some classy restaurants in the downtown!

Very happy to discover Record Exchange and Euclid here in my hometown. honestly, why go to overpriced Vintage Vinyl when you’ve got these two. Make the drive, it’s worth it. Every record store I walk into, I always check the R&B section first as a litmus test. And Euclid passes with flying colors.
I brought five records (one EXTREMELY hard to find Jackson 5 LP alongwith another J5 classic, Isaac Hayes and two from the dollar bin) for $ 27. I’ve gotten better price deals elsewhere but when it comes to the value and quality that I was searching for, I was very happy to swipe the credit card.
I had a long and great first-​time experience so I’m happy to say:
In my lovely Lou, check out Euclid Records and Record Exchange. You’ll come away happy.

In the days between when people cared about LPs, as Vintage Vinyl’s selection of their namesake dwindled to a few bins of questionable selections (multiple copies of the latest Korn and Limp Bizkit on LP), this was the only place in town worth visiting on a record hunt.
I thought that nothing would compare to the old Euclid Records Vinyl Shack, but they did a pretty noble service by moving and expanding their selection even further. Their already incredible jazz selection got even better as they have began stocking still more rare and interesting repressings. Euclid also caught wind of the ever-​increasing number of «indie rock» record buyers, which seems to now be their specialty, as they always have multiple pressings of every hip new record.
I’ve stopped buying vinyl forever now, but if you haven’t and you’re not looking to dig through 500,000 unorganized albums (Record Exchange), then this should be your first stop on any record-​buying adventure.
If you still buy CDs, then god bless your heart.

My friends, this is the cool place to be! Euclid Records has been rocking Webster Groves since 1981, and there’s no end in sight! More than just a record store, Euclid Records has an active blog and also has fun events every now and then. In fact, it was at one of these such events that my fiancé and I really clicked. A few years ago Euclid featured Punk Rock Night, playing punk music and punk films. We watched Rock’N“Roll High School together, and the rest is history! We’ve been patrons of the place ever since. Check out an image of the projector screen they use to show movies in the photos!
Euclid Records is broken in two. In the front half you’ll find the register, new cds, used cds, and dvds. Most of their cds are rock, but you’ll find every genre available. Remember, they can order anything your little heart desires! The walls are covered in awesome music art posters and the musty smell of old records makes you feel so darn cool just for being there that you’ll want to keep on coming back.
In the back you’ll find records, records, and more records! I cannot tell you how cool this place is! JUST GO!!! You will find every type of music here, and don’t forget to check out the dollar bins! Be sure to look along the walls and in the corners in the back half for framed artwork that will rock your world!
The environment of this store is really sweet. Want to browse anonymously? That’s fine, they’ll leave you be. Want to chat away the hours? Boy, did you pick the right place to wander into! The staff is cool yet nice, and there is no air of superiority among them. I’ve seen every type of person in Euclid Records, and I can guarantee you that you’ll feel right at home. So go ahead, support a local St. Louis shop and stop on by!
