I started my CD collection a couple years ago and Repo has supplied me with so many great finds…read moreover the years! When you walk in there are hundreds, if not thousands, of records to choose from. Admittedly, I often don't look at the records, but it seems that their organization is done by genre then alphabetical. And if you are looking for tapes, they are across from the register mounted on the wall of the record section. They have the largest collection of sealed tapes I've ever found! Further back in the store they have their CD section. I knocked off a star since I would LOVE if they gave the same attention to the CDs as they do to the records. They did some rearranging recently of the back section of the store and it was such a downgrade for us CD lovers. Instead of them being separated by genre, they are mostly all thrown together and then in alphabetical order. They are also in a display that makes it hard to easily scan through each one. Before, they had them so it was super easy to scan the display and read all the labels placed at the top of the package. I would LOVE if they brought their old display back. In the back section they also have store merch, used CDs, posters, and some vintage tees. They also used to sell artwork of damages LPs, but I have't seen that in awhile so I'm not sure they do that anymore.

If he comes back call 911. He's a FN ahole. On and on. Evidently right before I walked in another customer walked out complaining about their practices. (I did not see this first hand) As I'm looking through the records he (the owner) starts engaging with another customer about a prospective employer for the customer. You don't wanna work for him. He's an ahole. He's a fn liar. He'll tell you one thing and then do another. On and on. I was right in front of him and said "tell me how you really feel" to which he looked shocked and then concerned that I might know the individual in question. Final straw was when he made a crack about his employee being a lesbian. Of I were her I would've knocked the crap out of him then and there. There are plenty of jobs out there. He had no idea who I was or who I knew. Wrong way to run a business. I will not be back.

He then told me that I smelled funny and wanted to know if I smoke weed. I tried to avoid a conversation and just went about browsing their collection when he then asked me to leave because he said I made him feel light headed!! I left without saying a word. I don't know if this person was an employee or the actual owner but needless to say I will never be here again and I hope this business bites the dust because they are just ignorant and extremely unprofessional.

Rounding up to a "4" because of the great deals I snagged during my stop in as well as the solid+…read morecustomer service. For me, "3" is good, "4" is great, and "5" is "excellent/perfect" so in actuality on an average day I feel Vinyl Alter is probably a 3 for the most part--totally solid. I was in town as a tourist and as a vinyl hound I try to hit a few shops in any new city. However, as I flew in, I knew my bag could only handle so many LPs for the flight back. So noticing a metal-centric record shop online--I knew that would be my one vinyl stop. Directions here (walking from a nearish bus stop) were somewhat confusing as it kept trying to populate the destination with the name of another business. Upon arriving I realized why--there appear to be 3 different businesses in the same building, all intermingled together: a card/table top gaming store, a lengthy rack of records for an "underground" record store, and a long rack of metal records and corner display (plus wall art some for sale) marking what is actually "Vinyl Altar". I had hoped for a full on, top to bottom metal shop with the music blasting, etc. But no worries--there are a ton of great metal records for sale, new and used. There are ticket stubs and backstage passes plus posters from prior tours for sale, very cool. An actual "vinyl altar" in the back corner that was truly metal. And best of all for me, a one-day only sale was going on that made every new metal LP I purchased HALF PRICE. I snagged some limited edition LPs from kickass bands (Crypt Sermon, Cliteratti, etc.) for 10-14 bucks a pop! You cannot beat that. Friendly service, cool overall shop, would stop back in if I lived in the area. While I wished for a pilgrimage worthy metal shop, I understand it's sometimes necessary to combine forces to remain open in the brick and mortar avenues these days so I'm happy these folks are still here and hope they remain.
