Unfortunately, now it's overpriced, it has old, dusty (literally) merchandise, pretty dead in there when we stopped in. We came back on a Sunday to revisit since we were walking in the area, but unfortunately it was closed. They close early, at 5 pm on Sundays. Not opened on Mondays. Too bad, customer service is OK, but it's hard to find something affordable and in decent shape to get.

The space itself is really well organized with a lot of space to browse and vibe out to what they're playing in the store. They also have a ton of discount boxes, so if you have time to browse, you can really find some absolute gems there at excellent prices. The guy who was working there was really cool too and actually let me know that a record I had saved on Discogs had just arrived so I was able to score it. When I shared that I was visiting from Jersey, he shared a place closer to home that was one of his favorite spots to go and source some hard to find records. It was genuine kindness and connection that was really cool and will make me return to MRL next time I'm in town.

Not only vinyl, but they have CDs and DVDs, which all the kids are raving about nowadays. (I'm only half joking, there's a resurgence). Best prices hands down! There's a reason they've been in business so long. The owner explained to me that he's happy when a record finds a good a home, so the used stock is usually below Discogs. New stuff is also retail price and there's plenty of both used and new. He's also super helpful and knows exactly where an album is on the shelf if he has it. Online stock is pretty reliable, too, so you can pre-shop. Just email them if you want them to hold something and don't use the online checkout. They also have a shop in Providence and can move stock around quickly if you see something there but can't drive down. Dig here, you won't be disappointed!

In my 20+ years of vinyl collecting, I don't think I've had a better experience at a record store!…read moreTo make a long story short- I walked into Armageddon Records with a small stack of vinyl (originally intended to be used as trade fodder with a friend in Boston that day) but after seeing what a perfect and well curated selection of new and used Punk/Metal/Indie vinyl this shop had, I made a stack and asked one of the owners, Chris, if he wouldn't mind taking some of the records I brought in to help shave off my current bill. The shop was extremely busy, so Chris asked if I already had a price for them in mind... I hadn't thought about it much, so I shouted out a random number and after a few minutes he came back to me with A HIGHER offer than I originally asked. I am not basing my experience solely on this matter, as nearly everything about the vibe and atmosphere was perfect, however, I absolutely believe this sets a giant precedent that most people need to know about Armageddon; there is honesty and true costumer relations. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough, and I will absolutely be back every time I come to Boston!

A…read morelegend of the local music scene (he actually was awarded a Boston music award), he's sold "black music" of myriad styles in the area for 40+ years. The man is generally pretty agreeable (not that easy with so much experience in retail!) and taking the time to talk to Skippy is well worth it--- he's a fount of information, and can remember label and release information far better than you could imagine. And he LOVES to talk food. If you spend enough time in the shop, you'll realize that it has a strong community aspect to it; regulars are popping in all the time and Skippy's ties to Boston's African-American community are substantial. He also does a weekly radio show called the Time Tunnel. Oh yeah, the music. A great spot for records, though they are very slowly getting into order. This is a great place for soul and blues oldies, as if Skippy doesn't have it on CD, he'll order it for you. He also sells a lot of gospel and modern Southern soul, and stocks some jazz. I recommend it more for CDs unless you like to dig a lot. But the counter is often the place to be, as Skippy can usually tell you if he's got what you're looking for.

Very distinct collection of records, mostly "black" music, a lot of soul, funk, motown, disco, hip hop records.

He was willing to work with me on the price, which was very fair. I bought a stack of about 15-20 records for around $60. He's got lots of unique and some rare 45's of old soul music. I really enjoyed it.

Bow Market is such a cool little market square. Bow Market is all about small businesses and artists. It's located right by Union Square (Green Line). The tribute night was amazing. The vibes were immaculate and it was a great way to connect with fellow D'Angelo fans. We got to laugh, cry, dance and vibe all night.

I came here for a tribute night but they have a lifelong customer out of me! I will be back to buy more records.
