Years ago I bought several CDs here, two of which were hard to find at that point. More recently I bought two original pressings of vinyl records I was looking for. They did cost a pretty penny, but were well worth it. It also just feels like a good store...operating in the basement of a rowhome. It is small, but has a lot of good finds.

Summary: If vinyl record stores were like sex, this place would be the Kama Sutra…read more I've been a collector of records for years and when I was visiting my folks for Christmas I had a chance to stop at Chucks. Within 10 minutes, I'd found one album I haven't been able to find in almost a decade and another that I honestly thought I'd never find. The store looks small...but the kicker is the owner is a true collector and understands what people who collect vinyl are trying to find. You won't see 20 copies of an album by someone that only their mother knows record an album. There's solid selection of used vinyl from artists that matter like Bowie or the Stones or Beatles or Rush. He has some new vinyl, which isn't my thing, but those currently hopping on the vinyl trend will have something for them. And Chuck knows his crap when it comes to records. If you want to do business with someone who knows what he's doing and prices his items in line with what collectors will pay (and not just rip you off like flea market folks do), you need to come here. I wish he wasn't 1,200 miles from my home. Bottom line: The R.I.P. in Chuck's R.I.P. Records really stands for Really Important Place.

Brian was very professional; he took the time to explain the work involved in restoring my player and answered all of my questions. I am very happy with the work he did to fix my player, it sounds amazing and I can finally play records again. I highly recommend Retro Addicts for anyone looking for a place to have their vintage record players restored.
