Well I'm breaking that seal. A record vendor in Fort Myers told me about this when I mentioned I was staying in the Punta Gorda area for a few days. It was only fitting I pay a visit to see what's in store. So the store may not be the biggest but the fact they sell records and CDs will light up the bulbs in your shopaholic/music wandering mind. Also you can request records w/ TJ and he'll make a special order for it so it'll be at the store. Just make sure you pick it up. If not it'll just sit there. But that's how I found The Struts' Everybody Wants album just sitting around so that person's loss is my gain! Doubles as a head-shop in addition to records/CDsDVDs so lighters and other accessories are in inventory if that's your thing. Music is my thing which I'm glad they carry. Not the biggest selection but to be in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area is a positive in my eyes!

I asked the young lady if they had it and she directed me to the Notable Non fiction section which I thought was strange since it is fiction. Of course it wasn't there and I returned to the cash register where she got a little short with me and kept repeating " I told you it's in the Notable non fiction section!" After I kept telling her that it wasn't and why, she not very happily opened her computer and retrieved the book for me. It's a nice store with good inventory. Customer service could use some work though.

The shop is tucked away down an alley in the beautiful Bradenton Arts District. Parking was easy despite it being a busy area.

I didn't have an appointment but was welcomed anyway, I dropped off my records to be assessed and was told I'd hear from the owner. Only a few hours later I got a text from Doug with an offer! So easy and am so glad the records will be rehomed and enjoyed by someone else. Thank you Jerk Dog!

He has plenty of inventory and his prices are excellent. Jason does not carry average quality vinyl- all of his records are top quality.
