Every decade of music or genre is represented and the more you dig the more gems you'll find The people that work there are down to earth, knowledgeable and nice, and from the moment you meet them you know how passionate they are about music. They are very diligent in ordering records for you. There are tapes, CDs, records, books, magazines, 45s, 12 inch singles, collectible items, and a great collection of note worthy new arrival records displayed on the wall. In my opinion it is the best record store in Madison not just because of the store and stock but because they aren't money hungry and trying to rip you off. They have the fairest prices and I love that they understand the importance of taking out the record, looking at it, and playing it before you buy. The turntables they provide are very helpful. Highly recommended!

I grew up in Madison, went there for years, though no longer live in Madison (but visited back in December). I always preferred the B-side on State Street for the prices and moreover, the vibe.

Paramount Records will be on my must visit list every time I'm here. Located in the heart of downtown Watertown, Paramount Records is hard to miss with easy signage. There's plenty of parking along the street so that's not a big worry. Once you're inside you're met with a ton of records in pretty much any genre you're looking for. I'm not kidding when I say this may be the most amount of records I've seen in one place. Luckily the records are clearly marked by either name or genre. You will have to do some crate digging but if I didn't have limited room in my luggage it might have got ugly for my wallet. Finds galore. The prices on used were incredible. New stuff a bit more than Amazon but this is a small business we're talking about. The owner was incredibly kind and very helpful if I was looking for a certain title. Do you like looking for records? You could easily get lost trying to find yourself a great title or three here at Paramount Records. Oh, they also sell their own brand of guitars so if you feel the need to really treat yourself they have you there too! Highly recommended!
