I buy there used CD records. New! TheySellPlayers. BuyMostlyFrontroom stockByLP butGotBackroomAllCD.

Great little record store. Friendly service and a good selection of used vinyl, also some new as well. Only negative thing is I wish the store was bigger. I'll be back for sure! read more

A Carbondale Institution I've been coming to Plaza for 25 years off and on. It's a great record store. Always friendly and helpful, but not pushy or anything. Great place to peruse used records, pick up something new or just look around. The staff has always been very helpful. read more

Service was good. Someone put on 'We're only in it for the Money' which prompted me to stay longer and buy more. The selection is pretty good, all things considered. A lot of older vinyls so stocking up on some of the more well known classics is good here. The prices were ok, but not really exceptional, you're supporting the store to stay alive regardless though so it's usually worth it. I also bought some 45 sleeves which are usually harder to find. Very nice overall. read more

Today is Record Store Day and after seeing the list of exclusive albums being released for this, I decided I had to find a store nearby participating. I found this store through the official Record Store Day website and hurried on over this morning. While not everything on my list was here (which is in NO WAY their fault), I did find one of the most important items on my list -- The Flaming Lips - Zaireeka. I also found The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me... and the clerk suggested I try The Glove - Blue Sunshine if I'm a fan of The Cure, so I took the suggestion and bought it as well. Even had a bit of a laugh about The Glove in the process as well as got a backstory of who they are and what their deal is which made me fully realize I did want the album and was confident I would enjoy it. (As a side note: I listened to it when I got home and I have to agree, if you like The Cure, you will enjoy this album as well.) I love that he knew that Zaireeka requires 4 turntables to be played as it is meant to be and that he knew that The Glove is tied to The Cure and suggested it to me. I think everyone is always looking to experience new music and I love that I discovered The Glove today through a simple suggestion at the store. I interacted with several staff today and all were above and beyond friendly. I had called before heading over because I was looking for Dave Matthews Band - Live Trax and when I got there I talked with several staff. I enjoyed the store completely. I like how everything is well labeled and easy to find the genre &/or artist you're looking for. I look forward to coming back and truly seeing what the store has to offer on a day when I'm not obsessing over my list and trying to find those few albums I'm obsessively looking for. Overall, my first impression is that this store is absolutely awesome. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. I look forward to spending more time here soon. read more

Drove up from Nashville to grab a record store day release. Ended up browsing a bit and grabbing 4 other records. Very solid selection- especially of used records, awesome prices too. Friendly staff. read more

Nice assortment of records and other music media. Affordable prices! Staff is very friendly.

A small, hometown record store with more charm than I've found almost anywhere else. Kim the owner is one of the friendliest guys you will ever meet and is far from your typical record store snob. He has a huge selection of almost every genre and makes great recommendations based on your purchases. The rest of the staff are just as awesome and knowledgeable. read more

An awesome, friendly, and locally owned record store. What little money I had in college was always spent here. Every genre, new and used. CD or Vinyl. Lots of boxed sets as well. After being gone from Carbonadle for so long, I cam back and the owner still recognized me. The other employee's are always fun, friendly and helpful as well. The best record store in the area. read more

This is a most stop for anyone into vinyl. Fun fact they used to be on the on the Carbondale strip.

My favorite place to shop in Carbondale. They have a good selection of vinyl, a great/friendly/helpful staff, and there's always some good music playing to make your shopping experience better. They have fair and competitive prices (I find vinyl here cheaper than I do on amazon most of the time) and a $1 vinyl bin that usually has a decent selection. They are also really good about rotating what they have in store so everytime you go in there you find something new. This is a great place to shop and it's always nice helping out local business's. read more

Good selection of vinyl at a decent price. I've seen better prices but I've definitely seen worse. The owner and staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. Overall a great little record store. read more

I've frequented this record store since 1999. I would bet 75% of my record collection has come from this place. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The owner is a major supporter of the community as well (whether it's local bands, talent, or the community radio station). While it's not as big as some larger city stores (Euclid, Record Exchange, Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis), it still carries a wide selection with focus on vinyl at a decent price. The great thing about the store is they are constantly getting in new and used product. It's a place you want to frequent more than every blue moon otherwise you may miss out. I rarely see something overpriced and sitting around the store for a long time. They know their inventory and keep it moving. I highly recommend going there. read more
