Stereo equipment, jewelry, clothing, cds, and RECORDS!!! New! Used!! Repressed!! They have it. For the most part pretty well organized as well. One of the few record stores that actually has a country section! I found a bunch of albums that I hadn't seen before. Great find! I ended up with a couple of dozen albums that were a mixture of new and used, rock, metal and country. There's also a display case with pins, patches, buttons, and asst heavy metal wristbands etc where I did get some pins I haven't seen in decades. When it was time to check out, no bags. Nope. Don't want to have bags rip. A nice heavy duty shipping box that had all the packaging material so the records couldn't bounce around in the box. Very very considerate. Only downside was parking. While I did find a parking spot immediately in front of store, the pay kiosk is half a block away. I'm old and lazy. There is a walmart across the street with free parking. Had I paid attention, I would've parked there. But that's the only downside. I'll be back in Rutland in about a month. I will definitely make time to revisit this store. Thank you.

I was pleasantly surprised by the selection & the good vibes of the store. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a TPOB shirt for just $20.

High quality, cozy, & downright cool. The employee was friendly & chatty - my favorite. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area (or even just driving by on i89) again.

First review of this place on yelp, which is strange considering how awesome this place is. Its…read moresmall, but it has a really good selection of vinyl and a limited selection of CDs. The highlights, mostly. Tons of good rock, jazz, folk, R&B, Soul, and Funk records. Don't expect them to have every extremely rare album by every niche artist, but they have something for everyone here. The owner/staff is very friendly and helpful if you need help finding something or if your searching for something specific. I'm very happy that a place like this has taken over the former residence of Saratoga Guitar, owned by the late, great Matt McCabe (RIP). Also to note is that there is a second business in the same location, 6th Generation Violin. I don't know much about violins or services pertaining to it but they had some guitars there for sale and tried them out. Seems like a pretty cool place if you're into that sort of thing.

Was stuck in the area for an extra day so I did a little exploring. Google search of record stores…read moreturned up this place not far from the hotel. The good... nice selection of albums that I don't see in my market too often. (Philadelphia). I ended up buying a few for a great price. (Actually didn't see any albums that weren't priced significantly below what I am used to). The bad... you'll need help finding this place. Google and waze don't tell you it's in the basement. They both put you in the middle of the block and it's up to you. Although the shopkeepers in the stores above were real helpful not only telling its downstairs but also walking me to the staircase and explaining where it was exactly. The ugly... there isn't one. Well if there was one, I'm sorry I went record shopping the previous weekend. Saw a lot of the same records I had just bought cheaper here. Owner was a real nice guy and I asked about other stores in the area. He sent me to another store 20 minutes away that while they did have a bigger selection, there stuff wasn't as "quality " or as cheap. Not a bad place but not great either. Getting back to OTR, great little store. Nice selection, fantastic prices and great staff. Can't ask for more. I will go out of my way to stop here again. AAA+++
