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!

Great selection of vinyl, CD's, and yes even cassettes if my eyes were not deceiving me. Along with…read moresome excellent items of t shirts, decals, music art work etc. You can easily spend a couple of hours in store. Found a few albums for under $10 and a few unique ones at prices in the $30 to $40 range. Depending on your taste well worth the money. Check out staff was personable. I did not see any floor staff wandering the aisles asking if you needed any help... but guess that is the part of the experience; seek out your own finds!

Literally every single time I come into this store , no matter who I'm with, I'm assaulted by…read morenegative energy from two of the staff members. Todd In particular (pretty sure that's his name) is always rude and always seems to think I'm stealing??? He instantly starts whispering to the other male employe and they both watch me the entire time. He follows me around the store asking if I'm "still looking" and as soon as pick up an item he asks if he can hold it at the desk for me JEEZ!!!! I've never once stolen in my life and haven't so much as gave this man a funny look. This makes for a really uncomfortable shopping experience for me. Although I love all the products the store has to offer, this has happened multiple times and I'm beginning to opt for the crystal location even though it's a further drive just to keep away from these rude employees.

You never know what you'll find in a random neighborhood. In my case last Saturday, I was at the…read moreSpeedway filling my rental car, when I spied Know Name Records across the street. As I had plenty of time to spare for Lunch with my brother (at the nearby 5-8 Club), I wandered over. Know Name Records struck me as a combination of a CD/Vinyl records store, a head shop, t-shirt seller, memorabilia collection, head shop, disk golf dealer, and rummage sale. The later was based on a couple sets of old speakers, a turntable, and other vintage items that were for sale. Plus from this person of 65's perspective, it didn't look like the 2 older guys tending the counter had escaped the 60s. :) I had a great time looking around. I wasn't much interested in the weed-related or vinyl merchandise, and I would never get those speakers on the plane. But, the CDs were interesting and I found a great Vikings/Prince "Purple Reign" (if only for that NFL team) jersey that I just had to take home (see picture). I'm sure to come back the next time I'm anywhere this side of the Crosstown Freeway. Plus I'd fully expect that there would be a whole new inventory to explore. Good prices too.

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.
