I recently got into collecting vinyl after picking up a new turntable, and while I had some extra…read moretime in Natick, I decided on a whim to see if there was a local record store nearby. The first time I stopped by, it was closed, but I called anyway. Eleni answered, and she couldn't have been kinder. She's hard of hearing, but she was incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited to open up and help me find the kinds of records I was looking for. I'm really glad I went back. The selection was great, and what stood out even more was the atmosphere. A couple of other people were there chatting, helping her out, and digging through records of their own. It felt like a true neighborhood record store where people gather because they love music. That's getting harder to find these days. If you're in the area and enjoy vinyl, it's absolutely worth a visit. Just remember to bring cash, because it's cash only. Small businesses like this deserve the support.

Obviously, everything on Cape Cod during the summer is going to be pricey. This place is no…read moreexception ... you'd do much better on a lot of the stuff on EBay or at a garage sale, for sure. But, its fun to look ... especially since it's rained almost every @%!& day in July and what else does one do in the rain on Cape Cod than browse and shop? First of all ... the used records pulled me in. The selection was pretty picked over. Barely any classic rock of note ... lots of jazz and eclectic stuff. However, HUGELY overpriced and the condition of many records was a bit rough. Some pricing examples ... The Doors, Soft Parade original in VG+ condition was $45. Owch. Lots of Beatles records for $30 - $100. Edith Piaf album I paid $2.50 for on EBay was over $12. You have to bring the copies of the over $15+ albums to the counter to inspect the condition. The vinyl section was crowded but honestly, not many bargains to be had. They have LOTS of stuff ... the store is a long barn and filled to the brim. There was a wall of 'vintage' Nautical paintings of sailors for $150 - $350, depending on the size. To me, they looked like they were painted recently. While cool, in a retro-kitchy fashion, the price was steep for a faux vintage Sea Captain painting. There were cases of old toys, costume jewelery and other antique stuff. I saw a couple authentic British Pub signs for $500 which were cool. They had some vintage cameras but many were untested and the same price as the tested ones online. The vintage typewriters had keys which were stuck and were priced the same as tested working ones online. I walked out empty-handed but I give 4 stars because it was a good way to spend an hour browsing on a rainy day. The only thing I was considering buying was a jazz record I wanted to listen to that night but it had a pretty scuffed surface, so I passed. Three people in front of me bought records ... maybe they were luckier or less picky. You may find something cool here but don't plan on finding inexpensive treasure. At the very least its fun to look.

The records here are super over priced, if the record is brand new you're spending 5-20 dollars…read moreover market value, guaranteed. I'm very familiar with the typical prices of vinyl records and I didn't see a single normally priced new record, and I'm not exaggerating. The used records here a quite pricey as well, especially any record that's particularly popular. They'll charge you 50 dollars for a Led Zeppelin used record that's not a particularly note worthy pressing. I took a look at 45s they have as well because usually you can find some cool stuff for only a few bucks at most record stores but there was nothing cheaper than $5 here, I'm less familiar with the market value of 45s but every single one felt double what it should be. The only reason is I'm not giving this store a 1/5 is that the walls have a bunch of cool music memorabilia. They also have some cool signed records like a zombies record that's was signed by the whole band for $400, which for the right person is totally worth it. Unless you're looking for something that is exceptionally rare or signed I wouldn't recommend this place for any casual customers.

So many Karens reviewing this place ... sheesh! To address the elephant in the room, yes ... this…read moreplace is expensive and maybe a bit overpriced. However, just like if you went to any specialty store ... you are going to pay more for the curating of inventory, the satisfaction of the instant gratification of a purchase and also the overhead. Too many people expect the world of brick and mortar to conform to Amazon prices these days which is just not fair to small shop owners. That being said, this place is about 20% more expensive than other record stores I've been to ... but their selection is 40% better. This place has new and used vinyl ... rare stuff, obscure stuff, weird stuff. And it's all in pretty good shape. I was a bit put off by the fact they don't use the Mint, NM, VG, Good, etc. standard rating system ... and they don't let you visually inspect the actual records until you bring them to the counter. However despite small labels which say 'fine' ... 'plays well' ... 'clean copy' ... 'super clean' ... 'good' I'd rather the known grading scale. The owner told me all records were play tested, cleaned and passed his standard for listenability. That's a heck of a better deal than you'll find on EBay even for graded records, which are often visually inspected. The selection here is great and you can tell it's owned by a music lover vs. someone who just happens to own a shop. The jazz and blues section are particularly well stocked and the new records have many limited editions. One bummer is that they have only a small bargain section where used records in what I'd call VG- or Good condition are $2.50 - $8. I bought 4 bargain records here and two were unplayable ... one was very warped at the edges and the other skipped in several places. It was only $10 for these records but I had to throw 2 of them out. I'd advise to skip the bargain bins. You'll not find much for under $15-$20 in the regular store but the quality is true and tested there. They have some older equipment and turntables and tons of framed concert posters from the 1960's and autographs on the walls which is all for sale. It's fun walking around as it's almost like a hard rock cafe. The other rooms contain a huge selection of incense, hippie clothes, Eastern decor and typical 'head shop' type stuff. The clientele ranged from high school students buying posters and 'tobacco pipes' to older folks looking to pick up some vinyl. The store is pretty close quarters as an old Victorian house converted to a store but its cool just to walk around and channel the 1960's. Don't come here hoping to bargain shop in search of vinyl. However, the selection and love of music that went into collecting all of this to sell is impressive. The owners are a bit salty but I'm sure that has to do with putting up with a lot of high school kids, stoners and tourist types and price complainers over the years. If you are in the Cape and like vinyl or the 1960's, it's a fun stop to make.

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD, Independently owned and operated, used book store?!?…read more As a traveler passing through a few of the sleepy Cape Towns on the off-season, I stumbled across Greg's while walking Orleans' main street where I encountered a sign propped up against a brick wall bearing a stylized image of Medusa's Mean Mug and reading "Greg's Used Books Around Back". Undeterred and unturned to stone, my buddy and I made a left 'round the building and then a quick right where we saw the entrance to Greg's shop. The entry way was a staircase that lead us down to what we soon learned was considered to be by the political pearl clutchers in the area, Orleans' own underworld. Perhaps they were right, in a sense, given that a book about the blues bearing Robert Johnson's image was the first thing my eyes caught in the enclosed glass case of books near the entrance. Were we about to make a faustian deal of our own? Having descended down below, my buddy and I soon found ourselves in a relatively small yet incredibly well and interestingly stocked book store with posters of Jim Morrison and the Doors decorating the walls, amongst other things. We looked around for a bit and came across not only books, but also true relics from the 80's and 90's, including vhs tapes, boxed super famicom games with beautiful box art, etc. We were eventually greeted not by a Gorgon, but Greg himself, who was really a character and in the best sense of the term. Our conversation with him ran the gamut from owning and operating a business like his to politics, philosophy, and literature. He was a really cool, well versed, interesting, and friendly guy and without any pretense. For that, I respect him and his shop, which I gladly supported with my business. All in all, my experience at Greg's was Good. Everything was reasonably and fairly priced and it turns out that it isn't the underworld that some in town have made it out to be. In fact, perhaps in a world of confusion and inversion, a descent down into Greg's used book store is really a move up.
