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.

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.

Although Sit & Spin carries all genres, they definitely specialize in punk and hardcore. Don't let that deter you though as there's so much good stuff here. I found lots of records I've never come across in my travels elsewhere. I browsed the entire punk and hardcore section and s little in the jazz and 7" boxes. I typically judge a shop by my first visit pile and I started accumulating several within just a few minutes of digging. Every record I looked at looked to be in good shape inside and out. There's also a bathroom which is a big plus. I couldn't find a listening station, but that's not a huge issue. The owner is very friendly too. Downstairs is a t-shirt part of the shop that sells both new and vintage band shirts. It's a bit narrow going down so you gotta watch your head. Overall, I loved Sit & Spin and would highly recommend it. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Philly.

I noticed the levels of positive energy and greetings seemed to be very selective dependent upon who was coming in the store. Initially I thought the staff person may not have been friendly until I saw him engage with others with very upbeat and friendly energy. His persona gave a little condescending and rude when asked by select customers about various artists. The selections were limited based around what I was looking for, but interesting nonetheless. Heads up things are super unorganized and may require some digging. And if you ask about a particular artist you'll get the snarky response "it's not a cd store". I did locate one album at a really great price point. That was a steal! Unfortunately I will never return to this location.
