I was, as the kids say, tickled pink by the selection of delectable boss offerings available at this fine establishment. For but a moment, I transcended the lower vibrational plane and was what the ancients termed "happy." If you had told me a small music store on the island would carry that waza craft good-good I'd have called you foolish if not barbermongerous, but alas you would be correct. 5 stars

Unfortunately for them it was also haddon day or something like that so parking anywhere close was impossible but hey, I could afford to lose a few pounds so I took the walk. Nice selection of records and CDs. Ended up getting a couple of each for the collection. Owner/manager was very polite and apologized for the walk like it was his fault. Life happens. I will be back. Only this time I have to remember to bring a bag. (Damn jersey!). Thanks for a pleasant shopping trip. I am adding you to my s jersey record loop.

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.

I have just recently bought a Blu-ray player and have bought several CDs off Steve that you cannot get on vinyl so now i have the best of both worlds. Oh and I forgot to mention Steve's prices are like Crazy Eddie, they are insane! If you have never been here you must stop by you will thank me later.

This store is also great for audio equipment, especially if you like guitars and guitar equipment.

One of the most misogynistic interactions I have ever had while shopping. Friday evening I came in…read morewith a buddy looking for an Elliot Smith and a Paramore record, and the owner told me at least 5 times to come back in Wednesday morning when they open and they would have it. So after this, I came in Wednesday and he treated me like I was a complete idiot that doesn't understand how UPS and shipping works. Even then I was being nice and understanding because he kept saying "I'm sorry were short staffed and I'm the only one here". I work in the music industry so I figure I'd ask if he needed more help at the store and he looked at me and said "yeah we need someone more experienced that doesn't just know Blink 182 and Elliot Smith" (mind you I hate blink 182 don't know where he got that lmao), and I was like "I wasn't even talking about me". I work multiple jobs in the music industry and just wanted to be nice because I know others that would love working at a record store and because he kept complaining about being short staffed. But obviously he took a look at me, thought "dumb woman she only knows Blink 182 and Elliot Smith" when he knows absolutely nothing about me. I was nothing but kind and gave him no reason to speak like this, it was just misogyny. If you are a woman, go to literally any other record store. How insulting of an interaction.

The new owners are incredibly friendly and knowledgable, and are curating quite a deep selection of desirable discs, all impeccably organized and labeled. Best yet, these labels show not only the standard quality grades but also other important details. As I walked in they were just putting out a large batch of immaculate Japanese pressings of 70s and 80s rock and jazz recordings, all in NM condition complete with obi bands. As I'm primarily interested in sound quality, I was truly in heaven. And it gets better... I was able to audition all my potential purchases on their quite decent system, all of which I bought, and they sound flawless on my very high resolution system. Note: the prices marked seemed very fair (Japanese imports in NM condition are normally very pricey) but I my case they discounted the price considerably because I bought three albums.
