Noble Records is my favorite local record store, hands down. Lots of selection, frequently updated,…read morewell-curated, and the friendly staff lets you browse in peace. There's always something interesting playing on their system, which makes the time spent flipping through their stacks even better. They have everything from discount bins to audiophile pressings, all categorized by genre, new vs used, and they seem to actually spend time keeping them well alphabetized. In addition to a great vinyl collection, they have a decent selection of CDs, cassettes, and 45's, as well as some vintage gear and their own shirts, etc. Getting there is the hardest part, the Elevation Church likes to block the parking lot unnecessarily on random weekends, and aren't very considerate of the businesses they share the lot with, but it's worth the hassle. It's my first stop each Saturday AM that I can get over there. You can then thread the needle of the parking lot over to Hardy Boys Records (in the Brass Grasshopper) before heading down to Mad Jack's to complete a trifecta of record store stops in Matthews.

This is an absolutely lovely little record store. It is larger inside than it looks, very clean,…read moreand the man and woman working here were super nice and helpful. They sell vinyl record albums, CDs, and cassettes. They have every genre you can possibly imagine. The prices were very good, reasonable and fair. We ended up buying a CD I have been looking for, a vinyl picture disc for my husband, and a brand new album (vinyl) that had been released about a year ago. My husband even found an album in perfect condition that he had been wanting in the one dollar bin. This was a bit of a drive from where we live, but it was beautiful scenery and it was totally worth driving here. I highly recommend if you are looking for music. Tip: parking can be found on the side of the little strip mall they are located in OR you can drive all the way around to the back and enter in the store at the rear. Just be careful and avoid the potholes.

It's a small shop right on the street, so you have to be on the lookout, otherwise you could miss it. I got there right around the time they opened and was greeted by Ronnie and Beth. Immediately when you walk in, they've got two units of $1 records with a lot of good stuff to browse through. The overall selection is not as vast as other stores in the Charlotte area, but still stocked with quality vinyl. The music in the store changes every few minutes, and that's because they clean all of their records (except the $1 choices) and test them before pricing them and putting them out for sale. If you're looking for a shop that may have some reasonably priced gems that haven't been picked through, definitely check these guys out!

It was really cute inside, the young man working on Monday afternoon was really nice. We took our pictures in the photo booth and they turned out so cute. The three shots happen super fast, so be prepared for that, lol. You get two prints and you can have a Digital copy be sent to multiple emails. I think it was 6 dollars which isn't bad at all. The store was not to big, but it was well organized and put together. They had so many records, so if you have a record player you should give them a go!

We got our hot hands on a really hard to find album, signed by all members of the band, (Hence why it was hard to find) all but 1 of the members are dead, so finding Vinyl with all of the signatures on it feels pretty amazing.
