Basement Records - Pickups - Music & DVDs Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Matt at basement records is amazing! He fairly offered me cash $50 more for my used CDs and DVDs than McKay's... Come see Matt's place... it's clean and organized with a great selection of music and more! And... if your selling items... I recommend stopping here first! read more

Great selection, reasonable prices. They also have some vintage stereo equipment for sale and used records. They have a decent selection of RSD releases. read more

I dropped by this store on my way through Knoxville, and I will not be back. When I came in, the owner didnt even say hello. When I left, same thing, no goodbye or come again. Sure he was busy, but your customers are your life blood. It just seems you would want to make sure to go out of your way for everyone that comes into your store to greet them and make them feel welcome. Also, it was a very cold day and the store was freezing. I guess it had just opened and he turned on the heat. However, if you turn off the heat at night, going cold to hot is not good for records or tapes. Just sayin. read more

Very large record collection, cassettes, and CDs. Chill staff, good vibes, great music.

Absolute best selection of Metal records in Knoxville. Staff was friendly and informative as well. read more

I have been frequently visiting this store for some time now. I will no longer visit as of today. The staff is very rude everytime I visit and not helpful. A few months ago I went in to trade some vinyls. I traded 15 vinyls in exceptional condition and received 3 in return. Not too fair on trades either. Only thing this place has going for it over the others around town is the selection. Sincerely, an unsatisfied customer read more

Matt the owner is a super cool nice guy. Has lots of different types of music. Awesome selection and different styles for your choosing. Great deals compared to Mckays!! Go check them out read more

Offers an anple and organized selection of vinyls. Kind people who let you look without bugging you with a million questions.

I love this store, and Matt is excellent. I ordered a record on Friday, and it arrived Monday. The prices are reasonable, the service is great. By far, one of the best record stores I've been too. Thank you! read more

Basement Records: Probably the best brick and mortar store in the Knoxville area. Easy address to locate. Not far from the freeway. Parking out front. Inside a very large assortment of quality used and new vinyl fairly priced in easy to search bins and racks. Proprietor is a nice fellow, who plays great music while browsing. I always depart with a bag full of VG to NM albums I've been seeking. The store even has a rewards program. Make 10 store visits with a purchase, get 10 dollars off your next purchase. Looking forward to visiting again on Record Store Day! read more

Very organized clean environment with tons of vinyl. Another treasure in South Knoxville.

Stopped in with my parents. Didn't spend as much time as I'd like looking, but I liked what I saw. Super fair prices, a very nice guy working there (I'm assuming he's the owner) and a great, organized selection that utilizes the building's small size. Will be back soon. read more

Basement Records - Mint, vintage Cars Greatest Hits for $7. Couldn't pass it up. - Music & DVDs Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

My husband and I went there to try to get rid of some older records we had. The guy working there was very rude. We asked if he could come to our car because the box was very heavy. He just walked out the door, glanced at the box and said there was nothing he was interested in there. He didn't even look through the box!! This used to be a great place to visit and sell music. read more

Very nice and organized store. Even the bargain boxes are somehow categorized, so you know which ones to search on. Found a lot of nice albums, with prices of $10, $9, $6 and $2. I brought home around twenty 80's 12" maxi singles at $1each. Felt very comfortable while crate digging. The young guy there wasn't particularly friendly, but not rude either. It would be appreciated if customers could use the bathroom (had to take my 10 yr old son out and ask for a chance at a nearby matress store). I wish I visit Knoxville again, to buy more music from Basement Records. read more

Solid record store, owner was very nice. Not as organized or as wide a selection as some in the area, but definitely worth a visit. They don't have a lot of super popular stuff, but hell most of us have those anyway. read more

A great little shop in South Knoxville. Very organized and great prices. They also have an awesome selection of vinyl. Highly recommended!! read more

We got there after 7 which was when they close but the guy stayed late to let us look around. So awesome. Right off the back I found three records I've been looking for at a decent price. The owner (didn't catch his name) was very friendly. I'm probably gonna start going there instead of the disc exchange. :) read more

I like what this place is now. For years, you might've known it as a shifty comic slash record store. Some new dude has bought it, and apparantly kept the name. There are still comics (i'm no the one to ask about that..no clue...i bought Barbie comics as a kid). He has a good, solid collection of records. No "rare" finds as in import, first edition, fan club version etc. But if you're like me and eliminating your CD collection in favor of digital and vinyl only, you WILL find some copies of classic sh*t you're looking for on vinyl. I've looked for a replacement copy of The Boss's Tunnel of Love for a year, and found an original copy here for $8. I also found a weird piano interpretation of Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet". There's plenty of a solid rock, metal, and a good quirky selection of jazz. If you want to get your Alice Cooper on or buy a vintage Motorhead pin, stop in and check it out. read more

Great place to find vintage vinyl. Pleasant customer service. Clean and tidy store. It's nice to know that a Mom and Pop store can still survive in South Knoxville. I highly recommend Basement Records. read more

Wonderful record shop! The owner, Matt, is very friendly and knows his stuff! The entire place is organized by catagories and they have a decent selection of used movies and games, too. read more
