    Look for sign on sidewalk on 3rd,  just N of Union

    Great local record store in downtown Nashville. Lots of vinyl new and used - RSD location coming soon, t-shirts, and other music related stuff. Great website to view their inventory! Keith, one of the owners was just opening up and starting his day. We chatted with him for a while as I browsed - he was very helpful and had a good varied collection of old, and new 180gram pressings. There were a few titles I was looking for and he went online to determine if they could be ordered (they could) so he is able to order if they are out of something you are looking for. See photo's posted for an idea of his shop, it is in the massive building on corner of 3rd and Union ... on the 3rd side, there are 4 steps you walk down to get to his shop (down the hall once you get inside). Look for his big colorful "clap board" he has on sidewalk. This is a nice place to stop in while you are in town to grab a vinyl and/or support your local business if you live nearby. Thank you Keith for a nice introduction to your shop and business - he also sells on line so check out swaggierecords.com for a good idea of his inventory and to purchase on line if that's your thing. (use coupon code 10PCOFF to get 10% off your first online order ... your welcome!).

    I ordered an item from here in CA, and the item was marked as NM, but 3/4 LPs were horribly scratched and scuffed, which also resulted in skipping and loud popping. I was very disappointed because this was a gift for Mother's Day; however, when calling to follow-up from my email, a representative was extremely apologetic and simply refunded the cost. The person I spoke with told me customer service was more important than me trying to send the damaged vinyl back, and I was grateful for his help and his willingness to refund me the cost of the vinyl, and I appreciated that. I've never had issues with ordering any of the 6-7 LPs I've ordered online, from states as far as NY, but it's unfortunate. I'm still out on the gift for Mother's Day, but the willingness of the employee to try and make it right was greatly appreciated and I'm not opposed to shopping from this place in the future if the deal is right.

    Look for the sign once inside

    This is a record store / gift store / studio owned by Jack White of the White Stripes and others…read more They offer tours of the studio, but they don't let you take your phone or camera with you during the studio tour. So I don't have any photos of the studio and offices, which is a bummer because there are so many neat things to see. I definitely recommend doing the tour, though! Our tour guide was Ben Blackwell, who is an executive at Third Man, a musician, and oh, Jack White's cousin! He's a cool cat and told us lots of stories about the people who have recorded at Third Man, and the things that have gone down. If you have a chance to get Ben as your tour guide, you will be in for a treat. The tour itself was a little under an hour. The Third Man shop is where you CAN take photos, and it's a good thing because there are also lots of interesting things to see in the shop, like White Stripes paraphernalia, a record listening booth, a Wax-o-Matic machine where you can make your own red wax guitar figurine, an area to play guitars, almost every record you can imagine on the Third Man record label, Maggot Brain magazine (which is published by Third Man Records), clothing, posters and lots more. If you're a White Stripes, Raconteurs or Jack White fan, you definitely need to stop in. It's so neat to be in a studio where all kinds of musical magic happens! And even if you're not, you might become a fan just by visiting.

The staff and owners radiate friendliness, acceptance, and hospitality to all whom walk through the door. The shop is located on a side street in East Nashville, in what looks to be an old house. Therefore, parking is limited at times. I have come here 2-3 before, and they have a great selection of wide-stream music and local artists as well. The inside is filled with records and CD's filling shelves, bins, walls, and even the mantle of a fireplace. They also have a small stage and area to host events and live music inside. This year, We came here for Record Store Day 2024, and it was such a great event. We decided to come by around lunch time. They had vendors, food trucks, and live music set up around the shop. They were limiting the amount of people in the room with the RSD Titles; therefore, we waited in line for an hour to get into the store. That being said, this allowed for everyone to look through the bins leisurely. The staff and even the other customers were all so friendly! It was such a great experience, and we made so many memories this RSD! Support your local record store, and visit The Groove.

    Yesterday was my first time coming in, and I loved it! They had every book on my look out for list,…read moreand then some. A total of sixteen books, not sorry lol. All my friends I was with were very happy with their findings as well. The only negative thing I could possibly say about this awesome place was the young guy with glasses that rang me up at cash register two. After setting my basket down and getting out my credit card, I realize he must be waiting for me to get the books out, so no problem, I'm not above that. He waits for me to get all my books out, scans them, and that's it. Doesn't give me a bag to put my all my books in, or even help put back in the basket. No words to indicate the interaction is over until I awkwardly realize it on my own. He was very off-putting. I will still be back because this place, otherwise, is amazing and I want to bring some family members and friends who I know will have fun too.

She found McKay's online and it seemed to be the best place to do that. Wow -- we were not prepared for the massiveness of this super, super busy place! Being our first time and not knowing how it all worked, it didn't take us long to figure out where to go and what to do. There wasn't much of a line when we started. We placed her books in a bin, then waited to be called by a greeter. Our greeter quickly explained the process, gave the daughter a claim ticket, then we waited. In the 40 minutes it took for her claim number to come up on the screen, we were able to walk through most of the sections and pick out a couple things to buy. I was quite surprised to find so many things beyond books -- DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, clothing, Pokémon cards, instruments, game consoles, accessories, Legos, toys, comic books, etc. It was seriously amazing. My daughter decided to take her sale in trade which gave her about 50% more to spend. For the books they didn't buy she was given the option to take them back or donate them there. She chose to donate. The husband loves old movies, art and music -- he will absolutely enjoy McKay's. I can't wait to bring him here! The parking lot is as massive, so I don't think there's ever an issue with that.
