Although maligned, the owner Rich Rosen is the most knowledgeable person you'll EVER meet regarding music of the '50s... on. First & foremost he is a businessman with his acumen accomplished from a half century in business. He will make you an offer, whether buying or selling items, which is ALWAYS reasonable & never coerce you to make a decision-he will of course want to earn a profit. It seems many think it's about ONLY them. He may exude abrasiveness, if one's intentions are to merely 'pick his brain' but he being the 'last of the Mohicans' regarding vinyl records will give you a fair price & a feeling of contentment that you visited him.
