This shop is right next to the pizza place, and they share a small parking lot…read more They carry a good selection of vinyl and CDs, though I wish there were more overseas bands represented. That said, the vinyl they do have is small but well curated. They also sell vintage speakers, turntables, and other gear. The vibe inside feels like a classic vintage record shop muted colors, a bit nostalgic. The guy behind the counter was cool and approachable. I believe you can also bring in vinyl or stereo equipment to sell, but you'd want to contact them first. It's a cool little place

Whenever I'm in Rochester, I make sure to stop here to get my fix. It is HUGE. You could easily spend a long chunk of time here perusing through their collection of records. But that's not all they have. They've got CDs, movies, books, vintage clothing, posters, and lots of great "gift" type items. They even have a little bar area that serves as a venue for musicians to play. The inside is quirky and everything I love to see in a record store. I really resonate with the posters they have hanging and all the random decor they have throughout the shop. The staff is super friendly and eager to help if you're looking for something specific, which is a plus since there's so much terrain to cover. Record Archive is definitely what I'd consider a top tier record shop.

So after living here what feels like forever, I FINALLY made it to Record Archive. This place is…read moremassive. In the back, there's a cool space where they host live concerts and yes, you can grab a libation while you enjoy the music. Cheers to that. The selection? Ridiculous (in the best way). Vinyl and CDs from just about every artist on the planet. They'll even buy your old music. You'll also find some local goods, and the moment you walk in, you're hit with the comforting smell of incense. It's a vibe! The staff? Helpful, friendly, and chill and zero snobbery. It honestly reminds me of Wax Trax and Vintage Vinyl in Chicago... but way bigger. I'll be back.

The prices are also very cheap he had many 1-3 dollar options there wasn't much over 20 dollars but it was mostly newer albums so it made sense. I'm really looking forward to going back when he gets more vinyls very nice spot.

I can definitely agree, there are records from all kinds genres, even a Creepshow Soundtrack one that just came out! I had already pre-ordered it for my partner, though... What surprised me was that they also have CDs, and stickers and pins and patches and even board games! There was a large selection of vinyls that were on sale that day, which made it seem like a great deal could be had here. I'll have to check it out on Record Sale Day I think they call it.

It's very rare to be able to shop in person for boutique labels such as vinegar syndrome, arrow, criterion, cinematographe, and A24. The selection is unmatched and I end up spending a good amount of time and money on every visit because you can't get this experience anywhere else. While I love the movie selection in particular they also offer vinyl, books, games, apparel, and more! The staff is always kind and helpful. Love coming here and am happy to support a store that keeps physical media alive. Small parking lot out front and street parking available. I've never had any issues getting a spot
