    You'll find your favorite tunes on vinyl at Groovy Records or you can order them!
    Elena J.

    Tre's nothing worse than walking into a record store and being surrounded by chaos, especially if you are in a hurry. There's a reason audiophiles alphabetize their collections. And yet most record stores in the region are the loveable, if not cluttered, result of someone's collecting gone out of control. At least that is how they look -- like an audio version of "Hoarders." Groovy Records, as the name implies, offers a chill atmosphere, friendly service and knowledgeable owners who obviously love their job. Best of all, everything is clearly categorized and easy to find without much assistance. They have a large selection, including highly collectible vinyl, in a wide assortment of formats and genres. Not seeing what you want? Proprietors Tom and Jerry will be happy to order it for you. Some items might be priced a bit higher than competitors', but so what? In that case, like Smokey Robinson says, better shop around. As for me, I am happy to pay a little extra to support a groovy little record store like this.

    In my experience I only trust and buy PLAY GRADED records and Jerry is as picky as I am.

    This place is located in the perimeters of Orlando, Florida in a small shopping center next to the…read morerestaurant. It's nice and Qwaint and sits in a hidden area behind later places. But upon arrival, I can tell that it was a pretty laid-back please. The desk clerk was very knowledgeable about the games and their history, as well as some nostalgic items that were available. They also have lots of Funko pops if you're into that type of thing. I even like the way they use the ticket gun to price various items in the store. It reminded me of the old school candy store with the little stickers label posted on it. The items look well cared for and wrapped very thoroughly and methodically. I believe lots of the items are fairly priced and not overwhelmingly expensive. I was most impressed with the miniature video game console that sat at the front counter that pre-dated the Atari. What surprise me most about this location is that they had a actual arcade in the back with various games from the 80s like contra, galaxa, pong, Qbert, dig, dug, streetfighter, or Pac-Man, and they even had a racing game. Even though it was not a very, very large arcade, It really did bring back quite a bit of memories.

    I bought a dsi from here and the top trigger wasn't working so I brought it back in and they said…read morethey would fix it for me. after they fixed it they noticed another problem with it that needed attention so they ordered the part online for me and gave me a dsi to borrow until the one I bought was fixed. I recommend this shop for anyone that wants a trustworthy purchase, great customer service, and guaranteed quality. The prices aren't that bad if you know what you're looking for

    I've been coming to Maya Books and Music for years and always find something good when I stop in…read more The store is clean, orderly, and the book sections are clearly displayed; however, it doesn't hurt to ask for help from the owner, she knows where everything is. On my most previous visit I was looking specifically for piano sheet music, and the owner informed me they were upstairs in a basket under the W-X & Y-Z section of Rock CD's, and sure enough, they were exactly where she said they were. Luckily for me I found two books in great condition - Bach Short Preludes and Fugues for the Piano for $3.95 and Bella Bartok Mikrokosmos Piano Solo Vol III for $3.50, great deal! There is also a variety of other instrument sheet music for clarinet, trumpet, guitar, mandolin, and more in this section. They have a great variety of used music CD's and Vinyl's upstairs for sale at a reasonable price. I've purchased CD's from here for $4 and less, but some could be higher if they are rare or brand new in the cellophane wrap. I haven't purchased any Vinyl's but they do have a decent selection. There are also a variety of posters and old collectable magazines here for sale, which is cool. I actually have some of the Guitar Magazine ones they are selling for $25 and more. The owner informed me that she acquired a much larger store in another state and will have a lot more books and other items coming after the New Year, so be sure to stop in and see what they have to offer. Something to note is the owner is not flexible with pricing so I don't recommend trying to get a better price by buying multiple items and talking her down, it just wont work. Another thing is there is really nowhere to sit down to read for a few minutes to see if you want to buy a book your interested in, even if you try, you quickly become crowded in by other shoppers trying to get around you. All-in-all, Maya Books and Music provide a fun shopping experience if you're a book lover and just happen to be in Downtown Sanford Shopping. I highly recommend stopping in to check them out.

    I can't believe I haven't written a review of Maya Books & Music yet...this is one of my favorite…read morespots in Sanford. It's cozy, charming and a must-visit for book lovers. I have found some wonderful books here and if you go upstairs you'll find all sorts of records. To me the books are well priced, and the owner is always so so welcoming! Before writing my review I did read some other reviews about people trying to ask for price matching, which honestly I find weird to do with a small book shop (do it to the corporate businesses, not the small shops - but that's just my opinion). I also don't think the owner does price matching or accept any haggling as I did overhear her telling a couple she did not. Anyways a great book shop to visit and if you love to support local shops, this is one to visit and support!
