    I used to love this place but we're breaking up. As the resurgence of vinyl caused the prices to…read moresoar, so have the prices in this shop. With one caveat ... their grading in regard to condition is worse than on EBay even. Essentially, if someone tap danced on a record while wearing a set of golf cleats, it would likely be graded a VG+. NM records I have purchased here play VG/VG+ at best. The final straw was when I purchased a record here last weekend which was graded at VG+. Took it home and played it and at the top of the scale, we are talking Good, more likely it should grade as Fair. On EBay, even the VG+ copies sell for $10-$12. I was okay with paying $15 here to support a local business. Just to let you know I am not a cranky curmudgeon with Howard Hughes-esque perfectionism, the record had a scratch which caused a 'bang' each time the needle hit it for 40 seconds of the FIRST song on Side 1. Then, it sounded like someone was slowly crushing a bag of crackers and shaking the bag with the pieces for the remainder of the first side. The second side wasn't much better with a hissing throughout and one series of scratches which made two songs sound as if a roman candle was going off. The records are in plastic sleeves so you can't really inspect them. This is not my first issue. The last 5 records I purchased here, 3 were junk, graded VG+ to Excellent. That would be fine if they were decent buys ... each time, they were pretty expensive. $20 for a Stones album I could buy new for $30. I get the draw of nostalgia ... but honestly, I will take a newly pressed album, even with remastering, over an original pressing with more popping sounds than you wear on the 4th of July. The store moved from the big, Victorian house on Main Street, which looks like its reopening as a chocolatier/confectioner. Its smaller now and tucked away in the ally with the little restaurants. I'm all about supporting local business but I'm sick of throwing out records that I pay $15 for because they play 2 or 3 levels below their graded level. I've bought my last record here.

    I really liked this place. Completely random store. Not sure if it's an antique store, second hand…read morestore, or what. There were some random novelty items, CDs, tin signs, political bobble heads, and stuff I don't even know. My aunt and uncle bought an Arlo Gunthrie CD and I bought 10 postcards at $0.60 each. I think that was really spendy for postcards. Especially postcards that were obviously separated from a book that I KNOW was less expensive than $0.60 each. But still. It was convenient to buy them there rather than hunt them down online. The store itself was also really random. It was kinda crowded, kinda junky, but in an artsy-fartsy way. There was an upstairs, but I didn't make it up there. I loved how they used a Boston Globe newspaper bag to bag my purchases. My aunt got a different re-used bag for her CD.
