We were looking for an N64 or SNES & they had one N64 left for $50! We jumped on that price & their prices are very reasonable.

Remember the reunion scenes in Grosse Pointe Blank with the cool 80s music and dancing in the…read moregymnasium? I hated high school, but I love that movie. I made several trips to Rock 'n Roll Land to look for 45s last summer because I cooked up a scheme in my head where I was going to attend my 30th reunion and spin records as the DJ. I was an outcast kid back in high school, painfully shy and unable to approach girls. But now I was going to return as a cool adult, and blow everyone away as the music-savvy DJ spinning all the sounds from our youth, keeping the vibe going all night, taking requests from my vast catalogue of vinyl. All the girls who rejected me 30 years ago will see what a cool guy I really am and now they'll regret that they wouldn't go on dates with me. So I'm combing through the 45s (and trust me, there is a sh*tload there), looking for ones to play at the reunion, and those of you who collect 45s will understand what it's like when you're "in the zone." Time distorts and your peripheral vision constricts to a pin point. The outside world falls away as the records hooked to your thumb go flip...flip...flip...flip...flip. It can be an almost meditative process in a way. Within the span of one second, your brain processes a round of questions for each record you flip: Do I already have this one? Is it in better shape than the one I have? Could I use this for a __-themed party? Wow, this is rare one for sure, but would I ever play it? Honestly, would I ever play it or would it just take up more space? Does it have novelty value only to me? Do I have a friend who'd appreciate it more than me and should I snatch it up for him? So I'm doing this for god knows how long. Hours maybe. Because the owners are so nice, they didn't tell me that my record browsing had kept them there way past closing time. They had turned off the music, dimmed the lights, and stood by door for almost 40 minutes, and I hadn't even noticed. That's how "in the zone" I was. What other shop owners would do that for a customer? Seriously, who does that? Apart from having a ton of continually rotating stock of albums and music merchandise, they're really good to their customers. So how was my 30th reunion, you might ask? I chickened out and didn't go.

For a new and used record store you'd think they'd buy a wide variety of collections, but it's…read moreseems the buyers/owners are interested in only very obscure or multiples of the same hit records. Same issue with the new vinyl selections - a ton of obscurities and a new well known artist thrown in there so they can make a few bucks. Good luck trying to search the 45s and 12" singles. I suppose it's their store and they can put up whatever they want for sale. There are places in Rhinelander and the Fox Valley that have much better selections from punk to 40s to 2020s with all genres. There's a weird vibe in GB of music store employees having a music snob air about them. No one wants to hear what wisdom they have to impart to a purchasing customer about the band or piece they're buying, especially trying to one up the customer. Be happy you're providing the public what they want versus being downtrodden on what people buy. Not impressed. That said, I enjoyed the browsing and the small selection of older music mags and pseudo vintage shirts. The older equipment was a nice addition too. They're a 2.5 but selected 3, because they're local and I want to support any vintage/retro/recycle shop.

X-ray oven mitts, talk-to-your-cat spray, snarky socks, music boxes, crazy cat lady action figures, you name it! The CDs are very fairly priced, even the newer ones, and if there is an album that you want that they do not have in-stock, they are more than happy to order it for you. I've had a few CDs I was considering buying, but wasn't sure what the music was like, so the owner would just put the music on in the store so I could preview prior to buying. Super cool staff/owner, always changing inventory and definitely one of my favorite shops in the area. No scratch that. My FAVORITE shop in the area!

He supported all local musicians and artists. I am sorry that the one other review posted here was from a bad experience. Chuk retired in 2015, so he probably wasn't around then. All I can say is that for over 40 years, The Mad Hatteur was about the only place in Fond du Lac where you could get concert tickets, rolling papers and the latest in vinyl. We are going to miss you Chuck.
