This is a Minneapolis staple. I love everything about this store…read more The staff is outstanding, very knowledgeable and so helpful! I love the vibe and the fact that they have a little bit of everything in stock. It's a music lover's paradise and so much more. The prices are fantastic! Easy parking in a private lot right off the service drive. You have to see it for yourself, particularly if you are visiting the area. You won't be disappointed!

I used to work here back in 79... I traveled around various…read morestates selling paraphernalia to head shops... Some crazy times indeed! This is still such a wonderful place with a great selection of music and so many cool retail items at a great value. Expertly curated and displayed. Still, my most favorite record store I've ever been to anywhere! Moved to California 30+ years ago and every time I'm in town I gotta take a peek and do that whole nostalgia trip in my head-if only the walls could talk, OH MY! I love the creaking floors as you walk across the showroom remembering those sounds heard in the basement packing my own orders to ensure in stock items were shipped. The cast of characters that visited and cool musicians- one day Devo came popping through handing out 3-D buttons with those flower pot looking things on their heads and strange jumpsuits. "It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead" my daughter wore my old jacket from 1979 (in picture) . The nice staff were very friendly and enamored with the jacket and the manager took some pictures which gave my daughter a huge tickle. I think the cat's name is Bob Fuchs and he's been there since the late '80s and a good ambassador of the brand and so kind to indulge us. This is a must visit if you're ever in Minneapolis set aside some time it's worth every minute!

Mill City Sound where I'm rebuying vinyl from my youth. This is a great store with 2 levels of new…read moreand used records. I find the prices very fair and more importantly every used record I have purchased has been in great condition. They are very transparent if a record isn't in great condition. I wasted a lot of time and money scrounging antique stores for records only to be disappointed when I played them at home. Now I just go to Mill City where their great and friendly staff always steer me in the right direction. I bummed that my mom got rid of all my vinyl when I went into the military, but pumped that I discovered Mill City.

So... I went to hymies for the first time because they were recommended on Reddit as a good place…read moreto sell records... I brought in a few boxes and was told it would take the day to go through. Later they called and told me they were keeping some and others they didnt want and to come and pick up the cash and records they didn't want.... I went in to pick up what they had rejected.. I was handed the cash and told to take the crate. I even said (as should be on their cameras!) I brought my items in boxes, are they sure I should take the crate? They insisted it would be fine for me to take... well.. found these messages in my filtered "unknown senders" today... lovely business guys. Thanks for the horrific insults because of your mistake... and thanks for the lovely curse. Please don't stalk and harass me at 1am because your mad your employee made a mistake. You had no reason to make the accusations and insults you did other than your own fears and insecurities as you're up late at night thinking and obsessing over me. This is not acceptable behavior on so many levels. I can't believe I have to say this to an adult. Every action has a consequence. Had I checked my filtered messages sooner perhaps we could have avoided this childish outburst and I wouldn't have known this side of you. Perhaps you have an amazing business but unfortunately I'll now have to warn people about you. It's not a good business or life practice to make assumptions about people, especially such negative ones, because your assessment could be incredibly incorrect. You don't know who a stranger is and who they might know, better to assume the best and always treat everyone with respect. You're definitely doing a great job of being authentic to the world about who you truly are, perhaps you should spend some of your sleepless nights focusing inwards instead.

Decent selection but not as good as Electric Fetus…read more Cheapo Records is a music store with lots of CDs, Vinyls, and other music related records. Personally, not my favorite but there's some good movie records at a decent rate. The interior is large so there's a ton to choose from, but personally it is more on the older side in terms of what they have in stock. Maybe not the best for someone who likes electronic music but definitely more so for a pop or rap type enjoyer. Prices are what you'd expect for a record store. Nothing that screams great value (except for the classical vinyls that everyone has) or the occasional CDs but none that stood out to me. Overall, they were friendly when checking out. 4 stars is appropriate for this place.

I was headed to Sencha Tea for a tea-tasting event three weeks ago. I was driving along Nicollet…read moreAvenue. To my left was Cheapo Records. OMG! I said that loudly in the car. I dropped by this store the next day after work. I love a good music store, especially if it has used CDs, cassettes, and records. When I lived in Rochester, I would head over to Dinkytown mainly because it had a huge Cheapo Discs store. I could easily spend an hour or two looking at the selection of CDs that were available. I'd often find gems there. The Dinkytown location closed probably over a decade ago. I was sad. Sad, no more. It lives here in uptown Minneapolis, one of three Cheapo locations that remain in the Twin Cities. It has changed names and is now Cheapo Records. Its online site still uses discs in its URL. This location has a tiny parking lot. I got there at probably 4:30 pm. I had no problem finding a parking spot. Parking is free. I pulled into one and entered the store. I was in heaven! The selection is awesome. If I wasn't flying home, I'd get records. I didn't want to take a chance getting them damaged, so I went with CDs, which is my default. It is one of my favourite stores now. I added to my Pet Shop Boys (PSB) collection with special edition CDs that I did not previously own. The Release album had a metallic blue sleeve and was remastered. I picked that one up. One of my favourite PSB CD covers is Very. It's bright orange and tactile. It was at this store. If I didn't own it, I would have snatched it. I often can find CDs that I don't own, but they end up completing my collection. Erasure singles are a perfect example. I enjoy looking at some of my favourite Canadian artists to see if I can find any special US releases. Jann Arden is a good example. I tend to own every CD by her, which was the case here. However, there was a Nelly Furtado single on CD that I picked for the ridiculous price of $0.99. I bought eleven CDs, with one being a two-CD set. I feel like this place needs to have baskets for folks like me as I shop. I did spend over an hour at this store. It was comfortable and enjoyable. You can also find record and CD players, t-shirts, accessories, and more. It's all great. I headed up to the front to pay for my items. My items came up to $55 after tax. That's not shabby considering that a new record costs $30 these days and that's on the cheaper side of the cost spectrum. I paid with a credit card. Done! The nice man helping me at the counter placed all my CDs in a bag. I thanked him and headed out with my music gems. I love this store so much. I may need to visit the other two Cheapo locations when I return to the Twin Cities. Otherwise, I'll be back visiting this one because it's awesome. If you love music, you must come here. I highly recommend it. (98)
