I had the most epic vinyl shopping spree at The Sound Garden in Baltimore - I'm talking vinyl…read morelover's paradise! They've got a nice selection of tunes from every genre imaginable. The store was so organized, and the staff were super chill. It was hoppin' in there, so I'm pretty sure this is the spot to score vinyl, CDs, and other cool stuff at great prices. Bonus points: they'll even buy your old vinyl! Merch, fun vibes, and all the tunes if you're in Baltimore, you gotta roll check out this joint!

As luck would have it, I was pressed for time when I arrived at Spin Groove Records while on a trip…read moreto Maryland. What I discovered quickly though was that there was an ample amount of quality recordings to choose from and priced fairly. The space is somewhat concise, but has plenty to offer over multiple formats and genres. Also the owner was clearly a music lover, knows his stuff and is very helpful if needed. The 'good vibrations' are over at Spin Groove Records!

I really wanted to like this place. They certainly have the goods. But don't expect any…read moreknowledgeable assistance. You're better off yelling at a fellow customer over the music. Most importantly, I asked about prices of cassettes bc there aren't any tags on the cases. I initially accepted the response "anywhere from $1 to $5." But later, when I actually had a little handful, and I also inquired about the 8-tracks, I got the same response. Says she "looks them up." She does not. She sizes people up. Naturally, when I checked out, everything managed to be top dollar. Magical. They also have so many extra things on tables (some for, some just.... random) and shelves that make it hard Not to bump into or knock over. Last thing, I was in my car when I noticed that the cd I bought wasn't in the case. Yes, mea culpa, but how helpful it would've been to have an employee ally looking after me just in case. Oh well. They got their one and only magical bill of sale from me. Ta Ra.

This has been my favorite store since Childhood. Originally located in Iverson Mall, this was THE…read moreSpot to come to (along with The Wiz, Waxie Maxies, Sam Goody, etc.) to get music. Now in it's newer location, nothing has changed. The staff is always friendly and likes to joke around and share their knowledge of music. The celebrity visits to the store and local radio station events still make this a great place to visit. I could spend HOURS in this place and discover new, old and local talent and different genres of music. It can only get expensive when you pick up various items out of excitement :) The prices of their CDs are a little higher than places like Best Buy but it's always great to support your local record store from time to time.

The store is a Fucking rip off. I bought a CD from there for $16.99 and didn't want it any more and…read moretook it back the next day to resell it and the foreign manager told me it was worth $.50 cent. WHAT A FUCKING RIP OFF. And to top it off the CD was made from home and it wasn't the original CD from the distributor. NEVER SHOP THERE IF YOU KNOW BETTER.

Very helpful staff for when things seem disorganized…read more The store is very local selling both used and new records, cassettes, cds, and other media. At first I thought things were disorganized but the staff helped me find a few records I was interested in and made some recommendations. The used items are appropriately priced and say check out everything.

What you see is what you get with this place. There is nothing extraordinary and wow about it which…read moreI think is okay. They have an extensive collection of used books and CDs. But sadly I was on the hunt for vinyl records and there weren't many on display at the time. And the albums they had were from 2010s to current so wasn't quite what I was looking for. No qualms beyond that. I was in and out and the cashier didn't really pay me any attention which was fine.

A cute CD and vinyl shop in Falls Church! They have a variety of genres, eras, and artists here…read morewhich I appreciated. They have some deals for some CDs, and note which vinyls/items may be on the more expensive side. They also have DVDs in the room to the side. Pretty vast selection, even though some items may be misplaced here and there. Staff were around organising or available for questions. Can get a little crowded with the narrow aisles, but nothing bad. They do have some seating in the room on the side. I also like the music they play while you're shopping. I'd definitely come again!

I came here looking for vinyls for my collection and I found this place from TikTok. This shop is…read morevery big and they have such a wide selection. Everything is organized by genre as well as a new arrivals section and bargain section. They have used music books as well. They probably have any vinyl that you are looking for. If it's in good condition it will probably be priced $30 and up. This place is a bit pricey and some newer items you can find at retail stores for cheaper are overpriced here.

This bookstore is awesome! When I went on a Friday afternoon recently, it was pretty calm and…read morequiet. Not too crowded which I liked as it can get pretty tight since there's many books and many shelves. Service was fine although I didn't really talk to many people while there (was more preoccupied with finding the books and checking them out). I'd say this place has great value as the books i got (3) were charged a total of just under $5. I can see why the staff put up flyers stating to be mindful with how many books the customers get as they're priced pretty low, allowing you to collect a decent amount. I'll definitely be back to check this place out again :)

Want three aisles of kids books like Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys? Go here. Need every book C.S. Lewis wrote? Stop by Second Story Books. After visiting nearby ZavaZone with our seven-year-old daughter, we stopped into Second Story for a few minutes, which easily turned into an hour. Every book is 50% off. We left with 15 books for just under $21. The books are well organized and maps help navigate visitors to each section, but know that the warehouse's narrow book aisles can get cramped. It adds to the appeal! There are even harder-to-find rooms with other items like posters for sale. They also sell CDs and DVDs. Staff are helpful. I lost my wallet and within an hour a staff member messaged me on Facebook letting me know they found it and it was safe at the checkout desk. If you have used books, Second Story Books buys them from people.
