Hard to find exactly what you're looking for but the guy working was able to point me in the right direction a few times. Prices can be cheap ($1.98) but didn't check grade/condition. Some new releases priced $20-$30 which is good. Had CDs priced below $10. They are remodeling apparently. Will be back with more time to spare.

Made a return visit here the other day, my first in a while. A bit hard to browse, as records and…read moreCDs are stacked everywhere. That's standard in shops with good inventory, so no worries there. What WAS a problem is that one of the employees was sitting in the upper section, where the CDs are, smoking. The place REEKED of smoke, and I had to leave after only a few minutes. Even then, my clothes stunk of smoke--like they did back in the 1990s after a night of hanging out in bars in Philly. Not cool.

The store has a variety of inventory, and thanks to their amazing organizing system, the records are easy to search through--you'll have no trouble finding exactly what you're looking for (and probably a few surprises you didn't know you needed!). I loved the character and charm of this cozy shop, tucked away in downtown Collegeville. It has that local, authentic vibe you just don't find anymore. The owner and staff were kind, approachable, and clearly passionate about music. A must-visit for any record lover! Thank you and I will be back!

As someone who loves music I knew I had to check it out but I never got the chance until today. I walked down the street after class and checked it out. It's a small shop but it's filled with plenty of records. A majority of the selection was vinyl and although I'm personally a CD collector, I still appreciate vinyls as well. As for the cd section, it's smaller but it has it's good finds. The cds are in good condition and they are at a fair price too! The employee at the counter was friendly, the selection is great and all around it's a neat shop and I'll definitely stop back in one day soon.

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've been coming to this FYE for a while now. It's a great place to buy used CDs and movies,…read moreespecially with the buy 2 get 1 for $1 sale. That's my main incentive for going. The employees are cool too. My favorite employee who later became one of the managers was super helpful, funny and fun to talk to but unfortunately she isn't there anymore. The employees that are working here now are also great. However, there are a few critiques. If you are looking to trade in old movies and CDs, don't expect too much in return unless you have a ridiculous amount or are looking to transfer to store credit. For cash it's good if your looking for a quick buck. The new items can be very pricey, and unless they go on sale it might be worth it to look elsewhere. They also may keep asking to join the FYE membership, and I've had bad experiences in the past. They say you can cancel online but you have to end up calling customer service and get it cancelled where they can be very pushy about keeping your membership. If they keep asking for a email it may be best to say that your not interested. All that aside, FYEs a great store if your looking for anything used, but aside from that there are other alternatives.

I've been going to record stores for many years and Vinyl Closet has got to be one of, if not the best I've been in. The owner Jason has got to be the most knowledgeable music person around. He along with the rest of his staff are very friendly and willing to offer advice answer questions or just leave you alone to browse the wide selection of records, cd's and other memorabilia they have to offer. Also their prices are excellent. Definitely plan on visiting again often! read more

I even went to the Grammies one year with Rage Against the Machine. The year Dylan won the Grammy, 1997 or 98. Great after party, btw. But I digress. Located on the site of an older, much more modest music store from much earlier, the current owners have remodeled and built up the floor space upstairs and downstairs substantially. 1). this store is packed with vinyl. The bins are full of vinyl, and the walls are covered with collector's vinyl. Stuff even I have not seen. 2). Their Jazz bins are awesome, full of great stuff, including an LP by the late, great Wardell Gray! 3). The Rock Bins are rolling with every kind of music, including folk, rock, new wave, punk, newer rock, you name it, it's probably here. 4). Downstairs is a load of classical music. Amazing! 5). The person running the store, Andrea, was super nice, professional, courteous and kind. Very helpful and personable. Also, knew her stock and offered many suggestions. She and her husband operate this store. I could go on, but in sum, this is by far the best used vinyl record store in all of Philadelphia and it's right here in Delaware County!!!! Also, they have a forty seat amphitheater for live concerts next door! Very proud to write this review. An epic store.
