    Finally made it here after seeing this place in a TV ad. Came with a friend and we had a great time…read morejust browsing around. The space is really big and packed with records, DVDs, CDs, you name it. Everything is labeled pretty well but it can definitely feel overwhelming just because of how much there is. The good news is the staff is super friendly and easy to approach, so don't hesitate to ask them for help or something specific. I was also surprised by how much international stuff they carry. They even had a recent Kpop album from a group I like and I did not expect them to have it in stock. Overall just a really fun place to come to with friends, flip through some records, and maybe find something you weren't expecting. Would go back!

    I was looking for a throwback record and I knew this would be the place to find it. I checked…read moreonline first which they said it was available but I also called to confirm. Not only did they have it available but it was priced well too. The staff was very friendly and this place is huge. Highly likely that whatever you are looking for, they'll have it here. My only issue would be parking. I was lucky to find a spot in front but usually it's busy in the loop so get make sure you are good with walking. Still a great location with all the other shops around. I will definitely return as my kids are into vinyl records now and would like a few of their own.

    Before reading this review, please keep in mind that...yes, I know this is a recently-opened…read morebusiness. And with it being new, you gotta start small sometimes. I also understand the smaller the business, the more local feel - I get it. I believe in supporting small businesses. I hope this place stays around for awhile but in all honesty I don't see it being open in a year. I've been wrong before, so I hope I'm proven wrong! I'm just gonna say you will not get the average record store feel with this one - which is sometimes a good thing. There was not very much of a selection. I was all excited to check out this place and when I finally visited, I was disappointed. It was like I stepped into one small near-empty room. I was impressed with how "new" it was with freshly-coated paint and all (this is in a really old downtown Alton building). But again, the room was very small, probably not much bigger than your bathroom at home. The owner's father was sitting there, and he was very friendly and I asked him a few questions. The answers were all the same - everything was limited and local. That's the one thing that I found cool is that the owner, Becca Peterson, is focused on selling vinyl and shirts from local bands. How cool is that? But that's pretty much where it all ends. I was just not that comfortable browsing while having the guy watch every move (like I was gonna do anything, right?). There wasn't even any music playing when I was there. Every record store should have something blasting from their old-school speakers! Just saying. If there is a vinyl record you want, there is a sheet available for you to write down what you want - and they will order it. But most people like me are better off getting them online like Amazon, Discogs and plenty of others.
