I have made a half dozen or more purchases from Noble Records on their Whatknot Shop. This is a fantastic store and the owner Dillon may be the most knowledgeable person on the planet of all things vinyl records. I regularly watch His channel on Youtube, and He has greatly expended my personal music tastes based on his reviews and recommendations. I highly endorse and encourage anyone to not hesitate to become a customer! A+++++++ read more

Really cute spot. They had a good selection and overall very clean and cute/retro aesthetic. It's kind of hidden in a little tiny strip mall off of independence so you might've driven by it and not even known it. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Another fantastic voyage into Noble Records. I'm fortunate that I have the opportunity to travel the world and visit record shops whilst there. This latest visit proves once again why Noble is one of the best shops in the US. I can't express enough the appreciation I have for a man that truly keeps his supply of albums local and forgoes the temptation to sell online. Because of this I always walk out with a stack of fairly priced rare lps. This time it came in the form of two Lynyrd Skynyrd Japanese pressings. Both flawless and amazing! And now he's got some sweet African rock lps!?! I'm in Heaven. See you next time! read more

Had unfortunate challenges with an order (see earlier post if you want details) but the great news is that there owner ultimately contacted me as he was unaware of my lost vinyl issue. Clearly an honest mistake due to dinner issues they are having with their online sales. That said, I feel comfortable changing my review to reflect the sincere apology - I'm hoping they get the website issue straightened out but in three meantime I can absolutely recommended this so for in person sales. Thanks for the call Dillon! read more

I was on a business trip from NorCal and stopped by here on Thursday night to check it out. This is a nice, well organized store. I appreciate they are mindful of their stock and don't just keep every record for the sake of having a lot of "inventory" - nothing more aggravating then shuffling through a bunch of junk to find a good record or two. Within 2 minutes of walking through the store something caught my eye - Malo/Malo (Promo version) in the front of a stack in the Jazz (??) section. What??? This is one of my favorite Latin rock albums (I have 4 copies) and I see a copy in NC of all places? I guess the vinyl gods were smiling down on me this night. I took a look and it was in excellent condition. I picked it up for a great price. I also picked up ZZ Top/The Best of ZZ Top (Club Version) also in excellent condition - it looks brand new. Got it at a great price as well. I put both off these through an ultrasonic bath and just played them through - outstanding!!! If you're in the area or out of town and have some free time, this place is worth the stop. I have a few more trips planned out this way so I'll definitely be stopping by again. I also picked up a shirt to support them - we need to keep these shops in business. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Started buying records from Dillon when he was doing pop ups at cafes and breweries and he's always made sure to have a great selection at fair prices. Truly cares about the music and his customers. Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

This place rules! Dillon is a not only a wealth of knowledge, he's also a nice person. Thanks for creating a fun community!

Amazing experience!! I was able to purchase 10 albums off of my "want list"! Great prices! Great selections! All categorized and easy to find! His New selection gives an excitement to the "hunt" for the Holy Grail that you seek!! I was visiting from Kansas and loved it! read more

Good as it gets!!! Dillon is the best in the biz!! Great place to dig and sell your stuff.

Any time I get a craving for new (to me) wax, I always start at Noble. Dillon is the most honest person I've ever met and his prices & service reflect this. Not once have I looked on Discogs or at any other competitor and found a better price. Noble Records is single-handedly the provider of 75% of my collection and will continue to be forever. I love having a local place where I am remembered by name and treated like family. read more

Noble Records has become my go to spot to find my want list records as well as discover new music. The inventory is constantly refreshed and weekly visits are now a must! If you haven't been, go today. And if you have been, go again today anyway! Follow their @noblerecords to get updates throughout the week andpreviews of those wild Saturday drops too! read more

THE record store! Just what Matthews was missing... until now. This place has everything you need, and plenty more you didn't know you needed. If you still can't find it here, I bet Dillon can help you locate it. You may know Noble Records from their pop-ups in the Charlotte area, or from Instagram and YouTube. If you do, you know you're in for a treat at this store! When I think of the ideal record store, I think of a place I can go to dig and see what's there, but also to sit down and relax. I want to be able to discover new-to-me, and to rediscover music I'd forgotten. I want to get to know the owner and other customers, and I want them to know me and my musical tastes. This is that record store! Stop by; you'll be glad you did. read more

First met Dillon at a pop-up shop he was having in NoDa and I was overwhelmed with the quality of vinyl he brought to the event in his iconic yellow "Noble Records" van. The brick and mortar store opened in October I think. I've made a couple trips out and have been super pleased each time. Dillon has made the store very customer-centric. Bright interior with a couch, chairs, and a listening station so you can check out your options before you purchase. Thousands of records to choose from spanning all genres and a VERY generous $1 section where I've got some good finds. There is a "Holy Moly Wall" where the real gems are usually displayed for sale. Original pressings, rare bootlegs, you know... the good good. Dillon or Chris a.k.a. Tunes Van Zandt are usually manning the register and are quick to offer help, suggestions, answer questions, or just shoot the breeze about music. Excited to see his business grow and spend more time spinning my wheels to get there and spin some vinyl. read more

Mostly untrue response by owner. I never claimed to visit the store lol. I never demanded him to come to my house. (Complete fabrication) Yes I was out of state. I was never aggressive and in fact went back and forth for quite some time trying to make something happen. It wasn't until I came way down off of asking prices that he would communicate. I wonder if he lets you negotiate his prices in store lol. When trying to break the ice on a $2000 deal owner stuck me with all PayPal fees and shipping costs and played dumb about them so I refunded his PayPal pmt. I asked to do COD and he had never heard of it. That's a red flag to him. Lol. It was always a shipped deal, there was no other way. It wasn't a possibility. This guy lives in fantasyland. He wanted to give me $1000 for Pearl Jam Bennaroyal only. 1 of 2000 in the world. Check prices on that LP set. He reached out and begged me to remove the review and pretended like he was willing to work things out because he had an in store event coming up. I have every text from Dylan to back up what I'm saying. I hope dylan (which isn't a standup guy) finds a better way to deal with customers other than like a used car salesman. read more

Noble Records - Last text by dylan before he flaked out again. - Vinyl Records Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Favorite Record Store. Incredible Culture and Atmosphere. Nicest Owner & Employees. Unbeatable Prices. A place for friends and family to hang out and chill while the record enthusiast digs thru vinyl. Most chill and artistic record store I've ever seen. read more

See all

This place is a gem( I probably shouldn't of told you! Haha) Lively vibe Very good values. Clean records , I bought several. Knowledgeable staff. Good place. read more

This store which once seem promising, has truly lost its foundation values. From treating the people who bring in to sell records so poorly. To getting upset with a shopper if the ask for a discount on a used record. The owner will not tolerate it fact will throw a fit if you do any of these things in his store. If your not out by 7pm to close he will throw you out. The just mumble and complain that people should no better. In this world of financials struggles should customers truly decide to spend their hard earned money in a place that doesn't truly welcome them. The is evidence and testimony out there off all these action directly from the owner himself. He doesn't care about the people who helped him out along the way, but just the money. Please make careful consideration when going to this store. People can seem on way in video and very different in real life. read more

Noble Records is a must visit for vinyl lovers. Broad selection across genres, many rare gems on the wall, great prices, and amazing people. Highly recommend! read more

One of the best record shops there is!! Dillon is such a cool and honest guy. 100% recommend to anyone looking to buy some records or just have a good conversation! read more

Small local shop for LP's. Decent selection but a little pricy. Very friendly. Bought an LP I've been looking for. Happy to support local.

One of the greatest independent record stores I've had the pleasure of frequenting. Dillon is a great guy who created a comfortable community atmosphere. I love digging through his awesome stock of obscure records, and of course the "Holy My Wall". Noble always has a fresh supply of used vinyl and offers the best value for trades. I've been collecting since the 80s, but have learned so much from Dillon. Don't miss out on this shop. read more

I've been meaning to stop by this place for a while, ever since I heard they had a location after being a pop up shop for a while. It had a really cool vibe and atmosphere. Vintage furniture too (although not for sale, just for aesthetic). It seemed like they had a lot of floor space, but I'm assuming that's because they are still starting up. Good selection! I bought an Elton John album while there! read more

Amazing record store with and even more amazing owner!!! Great prices and I'm always blown away by the selection of rare and super hard to find vinyl. A must stop shop for any record collector! read more

I drive by this shopping center every night before work and noticed this new store. It sells vinyl record albums. I looked around for a short time and saw several familiar music groups like The Eagles and The Police and The Moody Blues. Prices were around $50. They also sell t-shirts. read more

One of the nation's finest record stores! Excellent selection - from classics to rarities, very reasonable prices, & super nice owner and staff! One of my all time favorite shops and a must visit for any record collector! read more

Hands down the best record store in the Carolinas! The owners are two of the friendliest people I've ever met, the staff is amazing, the selection is astounding and the prices are phenomenal! What's not to love?? read more

Pretty good record shop. Roomy and clean as a whistle. Records are organized very well and easy to flip through and dig. He has a bargain section of one dollar records and a second section of three dollars records. He also has a new arrivals section as well. I bought four records and wanted a specific t shirt but they were out of sizes. Maybe next time. read more
