Wide range of genres and some fairly obscure finds too. Reasonable prices and very kind and helpful staff. Highly recommended for all music collecting nerds like myself. An easy way to spend an hour and pick up a few things off the list :) My wife loved all the old radios lining the shelves of the store.

Great customer service! Been visiting them since the 90's when they were in Port Moodyread more

If you're in Victoria and love vinyl, you owe it to yourself to stop in and see his selections, some of which are quite rare! I picked up two super obscure Pink Floyd variants from him, and if it wasn't for Supreme Echo, I'd have never even known they existed! I did pretty good with the exchange rate, coming from the US - we even made a deal on some 8-track tapes that he just happened to have on hand! Well worth the price and the time spent.

I popped into a handful of record stores in Victoria during my recent New Year's getaway to the…read morecity, and Supreme Echo was the best of the bunch. It's a tiny little place that's packed with a diverse selection--from '80s new wave to jazz, from metal to country classics, from Bowie to Branigan and back again, and pretty much everything in between. I was particularly tickled to find a bunch of Polish pop and garage rock from the '60s and '70s there in the bins, a lot of neat stuff I'd never seen before. The selection is great, the prices fair, and the guys working the shop are friendly and fun to chat with about music. If you're in Victoria and you're into vinyl, it's definitely worth venturing a few blocks north of the downtown core to check this little place out.

So, it appears to be time for another update…read more I spent about 90 minutes in the shop rummaging through 100s of LPs sitting on the floor. It looked like what was left from a lot of titles which probably cost the store owner very little. As I continued searching (for anything of value) I did manage to locate 3 records of interest; a John Lennon, a Leonard Cohen, and another one whose name escapes me, now a couple of months after the fact. The records were interspersed between 100s of titles which were essentially worthless. The 3 items of interest were dirty and in need of a good cleaning. When I showed these items to the owner he said, "I didn't even know I had these". "How much for these please?" I replied. To my surprise Nick priced each record according to the median on Discogs. After 90 minutes of searching, for 3 dirty items he didn't even know he had?! Needless to say, I really expected to get some sort of deal. I left empty handed and unhappy. I seams that this store is more interested in making money than they are in keeping loyal customers. There are other, better places to purchase records in the Vancouver area. Places I regularly leave happy with the deals I receive. I do not think that I will be returning here. Sincerely, Felix

Beat Street is everything a great record store should be -- passionate, knowledgeable, and…read moregenuinely customer-focused. I visited from Bellingham, WA with my family and picked up a few albums, including what I thought was Creedence Clearwater Revival - Pendulum. When I got home, I discovered another Creedence record was inside. I reached out to the store by email, and their team couldn't have been more helpful -- they quickly found the correct album and mailed it to me free of charge. That kind of service is what I look for and it shows how much they care about their customers and the music community. Beyond that, the store itself is fantastic -- a deep and diverse selection, friendly staff, and a great vibe that makes you want to spend hours flipping through the bins. If you love music, Beat Street is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be stopping by again next time I'm in Vancouver!

Loved this place!

Folks, if you're looking to expand your old-school vinyl album collection, look no further.. this…read morestore has any album you could ever wish to buy in a multitude of genres.. and I'm not exaggerating! Even better, if you're wanting to get INTO the listening pleasure that only vinyl albums can give, you can find all manner of turntables, receivers, speakers.. basically anything you need to get started on the journey of discovering the rich musical sound NOT found in the digitally compressed music world! The owner, Russell, is thoroughly familiar with the various styles of music and the artists/groups (both well known AND obscure) and is able to make recommendations to customers who may be new to this type of ear candy.. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable prices of both the albums and record players, I've seen much more expensive ones at lesser quality in other secondhand stores -and online- so believe me, you'll come back again and again!

You can search online at home, in your fav jam jams, in a comfy chair with vinyl spinning in the background. 2. If you see an album that is on everyone's Vinyl Want List, you can buy it online, or choose to pay for it in store and we will put it on hold so no one else gets their Vinyl loving mitts on it! We also offer free store to store product transfers. Come on in and absorb the RETRO vibes of VINYL STORE.

A gem of a place, with a super knowledgeable and friendly proprietor. He certainly knows his vintage punk, and had a few punk offerings of that ilk in the store. Heck, he knows Joey Shithead, as well as members of the Dishrags! Not really a store for new records as it is a used record shop, but everything is in great shape. While not a large place, they have plenty of selection in there. Definitely worth a regular stop if you are nearby, as they seem to actively search out new stock.
