It's been open less than a year, but the rustic downtown location makes you feel like you've gone back in time 40 years. I had no idea exactly what or where it was. Then one day this summer I was walking out of a downtown bagel shop when I was drawn to the sound of great music filling the street from the next block down. It's got a very comfortable feel. At least in part because they have a couch! The couch sits behind a ew rows of chairs that all face a small stage at the back of the store. The owner's connections allow him to bring in a wide range of artists that wouldn't normally come to Owatonna to do an intimate show. A couple other locations have been used when a larger venue was need. Thursday nights are a sort of 'live mic' when anyone serious can perform for free This is a really cool place that's worth checking out.

One of my very favorite things to do is to try to check out music stores when I travel. The vast…read moremajority of the time I'm disappointed, usually by a lack of selection, since I'm mostly hunting for CDs, but every once in a while, I'll hit a gem like this place. It was a sincere nostalgia hit seeing the Yamaha, Sherwood, and Denon stuff that was current in the 80s and 90s, back when High Fidelity magazine still existed and people cared about sound quality (keep on coming back, vinyl!) and it was honestly kind of one of the highlights of my trip. I strongly debated buying a bunch and packing it back with me, but perhaps another time. There is a ton of vinyl here, naturally, and an ok selection of CDs...but, here's the thing with those. Me sliding a CD off your shelf is not worth the $6 - $7 more, per CD, than buying it online, I'm very sorry to say. This was the only store that had a few of the titles on my hit list and I would have bought a few if they were but closer, but 150% of the sales price online is too bitter a pill to swallow for me. Aside from that, this is not quite the only spot in town to get music things, but is definitely the best.

What a wonderful find! I heard about Limbo Records and Rarities in a story about the Lake Pepin…read morearea and couldn't wait to visit! Limbo is a little hard to find but it is worth the search. If you are heading south through Stockholm, turn right at the big park on the river and--just before the train tracks, look down and to your left and you'll see it. The owner is friendly and helpful and the variety and condition of the records is outstanding. I found one of my favorite albums of all time (Music From Big Pink by The Band, original issue) for what I call The Nice Price. I also purchased albums by Lenny Cohen, the Scorpions, Sinatra, and a rarely seen disc by Alexander O'Neal (!). I will note, I saw Joy Division, Accept, Coltrane, Woody Guthrie, and much, much more. You'll pay for the exceptional find, but you'll pay a more than fair price and small store owners deserve to make a living--so support them! Albums are originals, not reissues and are almost uniformally in excellent condition. This store is moving to a bigger location in Maiden Rock, which will enable the owner to display even more albums!

This is still such a wonderful place with a great selection of music and so many cool retail items at a great value. Expertly curated and displayed. Still, my most favorite record store I've ever been to anywhere! Moved to California 30+ years ago and every time I'm in town I gotta take a peek and do that whole nostalgia trip in my head-if only the walls could talk, OH MY! I love the creaking floors as you walk across the showroom remembering those sounds heard in the basement packing my own orders to ensure in stock items were shipped. The cast of characters that visited and cool musicians- one day Devo came popping through handing out 3-D buttons with those flower pot looking things on their heads and strange jumpsuits. "It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead" my daughter wore my old jacket from 1979 (in picture) . The nice staff were very friendly and enamored with the jacket and the manager took some pictures which gave my daughter a huge tickle. I think the cat's name is Bob Fuchs and he's been there since the late '80s and a good ambassador of the brand and so kind to indulge us. This is a must visit if you're ever in Minneapolis set aside some time it's worth every minute!

I did not see any floor staff wandering the aisles asking if you needed any help... but guess that is the part of the experience; seek out your own finds!

It's a used bookstore with more than 40,000 books; so prepare to spend at least an hour (if not an afternoon) perusing the bookshelves. It's easy to get lost in the stacks here, as there are LOTS of hallways and a labyrinth of rooms. There is a room for small gatherings, a rare book room, and an alcove to tuck away with a book. One window in the store has a bit of nostalgia as it overlooks Bob Dylan's old apartment (and is now the Loring Bar). If you love a used bookstore and a historic site, this place is worth a visit.

This is a shop that doesn't exclude, conclude, protrude, or be rude. You want classic rock? Yes. Do you want rap? Yes. You want punk, '76 to now plus all the proto-punk that can be scraped from the depths of the sea? Yes, you are allowed. You'll find jazz, country, soul, novelty, and the whatevers. And if it's not in stock, Tune Town will order it for, real friendly-like. Don't listen to the naysayers. These are the folks who go on a Caribbean cruise, sign up for an excursion on Grand Cayman and have complaints ("we'd give zero stars if we could!!!"). They complain that the experience of feeding the sting rays just wasn't all they'd hoped for, want their money back, and can someone please give them back the time spent in the gorgeous Caribbean sun while half the world is starving and can't get clean water. So, stop blaming the sting rays for your troubles and stop down at Tune Town this weekend. This is not a paid promotion. However, I am not made from such strong moral fiber that I would turn down a free t-shirt.
