Prices for new albums is typically high. Staff I found to be inattentive. You may get a nod hello as you walk in, but otherwise they had no interaction with me as a customer.

I heard of Ah Some Records as being "the other record store", meaning the one that isn't Dr. Disc…read more I did find it strange that the store was only open 'till 4p.m. on a Saturday. None the less, my man and I ventured down Tecumseh and wandered around. The store is slightly narrow, so on busy days, like Saturdays, it can be tough to navigate around. The shop carried a lot of used Pop/Rock/Country/Jazz. The prices for the used stuff was very reasonable. The new stuff was priced pretty standard. My boyfriend was VERY excited to have found a German 12" Gun 'n' Roses Single. I was very happy with my $2 Sesame Street Christmas record. If there was something used that I was looking for in particular, I would have loved being there. But it was cold outside, and I guess the store didn't have the heat on high enough 'cause I was freezing. Oh they also sell CDs, books, music memorabilia, vinyl record sleeves and cassettes. It's REALLY cool that the store is also releasing bands recordings such as Paul Johnson and Cellos. It's great that Windsor has 2 record stores and that they BOTH sell new and used records. If transportations isn't an issue for you, I'd definitely take the time to check out Ah Some Records. ***PLEASE NOTE*** Ah Some Records is a cash only store!

There were albums for every part of my want lists. Fairly priced with a few bargains. I didn't have time to look through the $2, $5 bins but there were plenty. A great collection of albums for sure.

But cheap doesn't always necessarily mean good - I could always shop for "cheap" at the Walmart bargain bin. What the RG brings to the table is quality records for a price that can't be beat. I was having a conversation about the graveyard with a friend of mine who's really into Jazz; he only has a few places he likes, basically because so few places carry quality Jazz these days. You know how picky those old fans can get. He took me here first. I'm not a Jazz hipster like him, but I do like records - and oh, they have a ton. I snagged quite a bit for very little - some records were as Misi said, literally $1. Even the new releases were inexpensive. I'm accustomed to paying over $20 per record sometimes for that "audiophile grade vinyl" junk. That doesn't seem to happen here unless its rare. So it didn't break the bank. It seems like they have a good rotation of stock going. I can see myself easily coming back at least once a week and not looking at the same old junk over and over again. It's like the thrift shop of records!

They also have a bunch of postcards organized by city/topic that were a lot of fun to rifle through. I took my parents here and my dad, who is notoriously a non-reader, absolutely loved it. The employees were also very nice and helpful. They have a selection of free books at the entrance, none of which were appealing but I appreciated it nonetheless. Prices were a bit higher than they should have been - "nothing books" (by which I mean used paperbacks with nothing noteworthy to them) were around $3-6. Obviously not going to break the bank, but they were the sort of books you could find for a dollar or less at a yard or library sale. One other bummer is that they do have a collection of rare books, but they're housed at a different location. All the titles can be seen on their website, but it's naturally so much more fun to view in person. Overall a cool place, and absolutely worth a visit. Not sure if I'd recommend planning on making a purchase, but if you're a bookstore lover or just a lover of oddities this is a must do.

I think it's best to go with a plan of what you are looking for. It can be overwhelming to just wander around. They have maps available, which is helpful. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and I recommend seeking their expertise if you are looking for something specific. There aren't really places to sit down and relax. This isn't a place where you come to chill for a long time and read through things. This feels like a place where you come with a purpose. It really is special.

Andy informed me that when he opened up his new location, he had changed his POS system and was unble to readily access the old gift card data and didn't fully understand the changes in the laws regarding gift cards. We all have had off days. He agreed to honor the gift card. He's not a bad guy and I'd like to chalk this up to a misunderstanding.

First, the owner is this righteous dude named Richie, who is super friendly and extremely helpful. Second, he had an excellent collection for great prices.

Finally, THIS IS A LOCAL BUSINESS THAT DESERVES OUR RESPECT AND SUPPORT. While it may be significant that some record companies are reissuing vinyl, the prices can be outrageous at times, the reissues are limited, and sometimes, the new issues aren't quite engineered to the previous old-school standards. Alternatively, you can spend months combing through consignment and antique stores with small collections of records of unknown quality. Folks like Richie preserve an artistic legacy for us all simply out of passion. We need to step up and make sure that such stores thrive.
