Ever since I found Tom's shop a couple months ago I've never left in a dull mode. He has everything. Recently he hooked me up with some great speakers and wow they Dont disappoint. The speakers are Kanto YU 2 with the audio technica AT- LP60x. Such an amazing affordable setup. Thank you Tom!!! read more

You have to go there to experience it. I'm speechless. Tom is a great and helpful man.

Really cool joint with tons of vinyl. It can get tight and hot (that's what she said) moving around the other vinyl seekers. Good music playing while you search. read more

Tom's Music Trade - Vinyl, vinyl, vinyl - Vinyl Records Near Me - Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Came in to see if Tom would sell my mixed tape and he said no. I started to cry and he offered me a 20% off discount if I stopped. I ended up finding some really cool stuff and bought a copy of ABBA's 1974 album, Waterloo. read more

I just started collecting vinyl again. Tom's shop is amazing. I have picked up new and many used records. I have gotten Rock, Jazz, Classical, Funk...there is a great selection for anyone's taste. All the records have been in great shape. Tom, the owner is awesome. He seems happy to talk with know-it-alls as well as newbs. Prices are great. Just go. You won't regret it. Bonus, there are a couple great guitar stores next door! read more

Great place to buy records and you may even find something rare if your looking!! I have bought slot of records from here for years. The store owner really know the business and are eager to help you find that next great album you were looking for or who knows they may suggest something knew that you have never heard before!! I enthusiastically recommend this store for all your vinyl needs. I almost forgot they will try to find the record you want and have it ordered for you to the store. read more

Tom is just an awesome human being. He is so kind. I am pretty sure he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. His knowledge of all music is just amazing! If you are looking for any kind of music, he can help you! read more

Tom's is a great record shop. He has so much variety here. If you want it, you can likely find it here. Vinyl, cassette and c.d.s. many collectables and much to see here. Stop in, you won't want to leave. read more

If you are into vinyl....this is absolutely worth a stop. The best store I have been to lately. Variety is great and owner is awesome. The vintage/used i have bought are in great shape and play like new. Cant wait to come back. Cheers read more

Hands down the best place for vinyl in Pennsylvania. Huge and eclectic selection in every musical genre. The prices are fair, especially for new LP's, re-issues and first pressings. The owner clearly loves what he is doing! Top marks all around. read more

This is my go-to record shop near my home! It's actually not too close to my home, which tells you how much I enjoy it...considering I drive almost an hour to get there and I consider it my go-to! Since I started re-collecting records last year, I've been here at least 6 or 7 times. Each time I stop in, I leave with at least 2 or 3 purchases. Great vibe/decor and always different music playing every time I go, which keeps it fresh. As far as records...it's wall to wall of everything from classic rock, jazz, blues, heavy metal, punk, hip hop and classical! Tom's got a good mix of new releases and reissues as well. But don't worry, it's about 80 to 90% used vinyl so make sure you set some time aside for some good old fashioned crate diggin! I like to take my time and usually spend at least 2 hours a visit digging. Of all my purchases, I've never been disappointed when I put one on the turntable! Most of the records sold are in VG condition or better and if not...it's priced accordingly. Speaking of prices...very reasonable! I would say that in the stores that I visit in the Baltimore area and Southern Pennsylvania, Tom's prices are tops in the sense of bargains! I haven't even mentioned the owner/curator of this great shop...Tom. He's a cool laid back dude, the kind of owner that's more than willing for a chat or to answer your questions about his stock. But don't worry, he's not like some record store owners: pushy, aloof or grouchy. Very approachable! Lastly, I'll mention that I was in the shop today for Record Store Day. I got there pretty early and was fifth in line. Maybe it was because I was early or maybe it was just good foresight by the owner to have ordered tons of RSD releases...but I was able to get 6 of the 7 records on my list! (I'll say it was his foresight!). I probably could've got the seventh if I didn't get distracted by all the other releases. Either way it was a very productive visit and my one stop for today's record holiday. Btw, the place was packed with folks but things seemed to run pretty smooth thanks to Tom's organization. That was pretty long...but in short, I highly recommend you give this shop a look and see for yourself!!! Cheers. read more

An absolute hidden gem in small town PA! Tom's a really chill British guy who married a gal from Red Lion. So he opened up a shop where you can get hooked up with the best hauls. That's it. That's the review. Go there & get some dope records. read more

The best record store I've ever been to. I've purchased over thirty records here; my favorites are Lou Reed 'Coney Island Baby' and Warren Zevon self titled which both sound amazing. The owner is really cool and knows how treat the customers. The prices are better than any shop in PA, as far as I know. I can't wait till I can go back! read more

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. One of the best record stores in central pa. They have it all. Be prepared to dig. You will not leave empty handed read more

Lots of good stuff here! Basically organized If you have the time and are prepared to dig you will find some gems! Give it a try! read more

Toms has a lot of stuff. Maybe too much. A lot of doubles and triples that make browsing really hard. Also the bins are really low and killer on your back if you're over 5'7". ( I'm 5'11") Lots of late 80's-mid 90's hardcore EPs but some of the prices are a bit much. Metal selection is very lacking unless you like 80's hair metal. The indie section was all new, overpriced LPs. The bulk of the store is typical used classic rock-80's Rock and nothing that you can't find somewhere else. Tom's did have collector records for bigger bands like the Beatles. Also had CDs, DVDs and cassettes, mostly 80-90's corporate stuff. But there is stuff everywhere so maybe I missed a jem hidden in a box under a table, I don't know. This was my first trip and its a nice spot but I wasn't highly impressed. I'll come back and maybe there will be better stuff. read more

Tom's is one of the best music stores in the area. Fair pricing, great selection, and a wonderful, friendly, appreciative owner. I have never left the place empty handed and always find something I didn't know existed or on my want list. My only complaint is that he is running out of room and has a massive inventory so unless you have several hours to spend there, you may not get through every crate. Visit this place if you're a either casual record collector or a serious audiophile. You won't be disappointed. read more

Tom RULES! Awesome deals on hard-to-find vinyl. The best record shop I've shopped at... and I've actually been to many. read more

Moved here from New York a few months ago. Very happy to find Toms store. I love to stop in and check around. I have been a collector for many years and this type of shop has just about disappeared from the New York scene. This shop has Made my move here so much better. Stop in I am sure you will find something cool. I always leave the place with some treasure! read more

Tom is a hot ticket! And his store is packed with all types of music and rock-oriented books. There's probably other stuff inside, but I was in a hurry the day I visited. I WILL BE GOING BACK (to snoop around at the other treasures)!!! As we used to say back in the day, "Tom is one righteous dude!" Check out the new store. It's right across the street. But if you're a buyer, seller or just love the smell of old vinyl (hahahaha), this is the place to go. He's fair, fun and full of knowledge! If I could give him (an Austin Powers reference) "one millllllion" stars on Yelp, I'd throw in another million just because Tom is a great chap! read more

Tom is the man for great deals and is great to deal with. You never know what you will find there. Greats you with a Hello or Hey Mate when you walk in the door. He values your business if you buy $1 or $100. Says goodbye even if you don't buy anything. I see that when I am there. My wife went there to buy me a present and he took the time to help her. Her words. He will treat you right. read more

Tom's is what you want. I come once a week because every time I am blown away by what comes in and how often, I can't believe how good this place is. Another great thing are the prices of original pressings and rare vinyl that is priced very well and it essentially feels like you're always getting a steal. Never have I had any issues with the records either, they are all usually VG+ or NM. You're always going to find way more than you expected. The owner is great and is always willing to help. Best place for records hands down! read more

Visited Tom's for the first time and came with a load of cds to sell. They were mostly outdated junk and I knew that but I figured Tom could do me a favor and take them off my hands. He gave me a fair amount in store credit. After selecting several cds and going over my credit amount, he shook my hand, said "We're good", and sent me on my way. Tom's a good guy with a nice selection of vinyl, cds, dvds, and other music related items. I only gave 4 stars because the store is small and very crowded and difficult to get through. If he had a store that was double in size, it would be more organized and easier to navigate. Oh well, I'm just glad to see that there is a music store w/in a decent distance of my place. Thanks Tom. read more

If you like treasure hunting in music stores, this is your butter and jam! So much stuff to choose from. You can dig through vinyls and cd's in one store, but do it on a day that you can take your time, as Tom's is a mini subway full of goodies to dig through. He will let you hunt on your own and give you your space or is up for help anytime. I only know of one other proper music store in the area (meaning not the mall and big box stores) and Tom's has so much more in his lunch box any day! Give his store a go and like Ren and Stimpy you will be singing "Happy happy joy joy!" read more

Tom's rocks for vinyl! No one has the records Tom has, if you got hours, yea don't think you'll pop in and out, and you like records Tom has the best selection short of an urban center and even still he'd be a find. A decent selection of dvd's, cd's, games and misc electronica, friends of mine bought a nice stage light setup from him. Tom is very knowledgeable about music, so if you're looking for something no one else can find, check out Tom's. read more

One of my favorite places. Small, cramped, and somewhat disorganized but worth the time to dig for treasures. Tom doesn't discriminate much on his trade ins so the selection is very eclectic. I've found some things on CD that I didn't know had ever been released. This place is a goldmine for true music lovers. 1000's of albums on both vinyl and CD as well as music memorabilia. You could literally spend hours in this shop that's hardly large enough to turn around in. I highly recommend this business. read more

I stopped in Tom's last week, for the first time. I wish I had stopped by a lot earlier, though!There was a ton of lp's to look through. The owner was super helpful as well. Picked up a first pressing of Physical Graffiti in awesome condition. Definitely recommend checking this place out, it is worth it! read more

This place is a music lover's dream and a surprise find for a market this size. Tom has plenty of used CDs and they're about $5 on average, but you can find bargains for a buck or two. The vinyl selection is also very good and most records are about $5 as well. There are a large number of used DVDs, but there aren't many used video games. Tom also carries record players and accessories, but the selection is fairly limited and hit or miss. Its a joy to see what treasures you can uncover in the stacks. Give yourself plenty of time to peruse. Some of the merchandise is well organized, but much of it is just albums thrown at random into boxes, but that only adds to the thrill of the hunt. You can really build your collection without breaking the bank if you shop at Tom's. The biggest problem with Tom's is that the shop is too tiny to handle all the merchandise. If you want to thoroughly search the stacks, you'll find yourself digging through towers of boxes, and it gets tricky to find enough space to move them around. You'll also find yourself squeezing past other customers as you try to make your way through the place. I highly recommend stopping by during the day before school lets out, because once it does, the place gets overrun by teenagers who do more gawking than buying. Unfortunately there is no room for Tom to expand, so the tight quarters are here to stay unless he relocates. Tom is very helpful and knows his merchandise well, so if you are looking for something specific, be sure to ask him if he has it. He's like the guy with the cluttered office who always knows exactly what stack something is buried in. Music stores like this just don't exist anymore! That's why I still give it 5 stars despite the cramped quarters. There is only street parking, so bring quarters. read more

This place is fantastic. The amount of available vinyl is astonishing. spent 30 dollars walked out with 9 albums that were clean and look virtually unplayed not bad for some of them being 20-40 years old. Be prepared to dig never know what your going to find. read more

If you ate debating about it just go here Toms is a very very great record shop. Every time I come I find a couple records that I know I will end up buying within the first 10 minutes, one of the best things about this record store is the amount of records and the wealth of great albums from every genre, under the main tables there are boxes full of good albums aswell. Make sure you take your time and look through everything!!!!! I saw 2 great copies of dark side of the moon under the main tables, seriously get to Toms, he keeps it honest and holds it down! read more

I can highly recommend Tom's Music Trade. After the death of my husband, I needed to find a home for his 2,000 LPs. I wanted them to go to someone who appreciated them as much as my husband did. A good friend mentioned that she had read about Tom's Music in a newspaper article. I called. Tom himself made a 'housecall' and paid a fair price. He took all the LPs, except a few I kept for myself, that same evening. I appreciated his interest in the albums, his professionalism, and his sunny outlook at what was such a difficult time for me. I find real comfort in the knowledge that my husband's albums are appreciated and will be sold to other enthusiasts. The money I got from Tom will be used for a memorial scholarship in my husband's name. It all worked out so much better than I ever expected and I want to pass this information on to anyone who may need to find a home for beloved LPs and especially to anyone who wants to purchase them. Pleace keep Tom's Music in business. We need places like this. -Jean-- York, PA read more

As a regular customer to Tom's I can tell you I have bought and sold a lot of items there. First of all, Tom is the owner of the store and he is there opening to close so if you have questions, the owner is there to answer them. Second, if you are going to sell a record or a CD or a library Tom is going to give you a great offer. He is fair and as honest a guy as you will ever meet. Lastly, I don't know if you will find a better price anywhere for CDs or viny Whether it is a new current chart album, used album or CD you will find a good price on it. I really like buying from local shops, I like buying from local shops even more when the owner cares about his customers. That is Tom. Shop there! read more
