If you're looking for a massive record store to drop a bunch of money at... Sonic Boom is your place.
It's difficult to argue with the fact that Sonic boom has a GIGANTIC collection of vinyl and whatever you're looking for, you'll likely find it here.
Despite the fact that this place probably has the most extensive collection of Vinyl in all of Toronto, there are a few bummers to this place.
1. A good chunk of the stuff that is here is reissues. Sure, they'll have Pet Sounds, Rubber Soul, Meat is Murder, whatever... but it's going to be a reissue. Good luck trying to find older copies of anything popular here. If you do, it'll be overpriced and... speaking of which.
2. It's expensive. Sonic Boom is expensive. There's no other way around it. The titles here are expensive- overpriced. You can get the same exact titles elsewhere.
3.The location. At least for me, it's not near anything else cool. It's a bit of a haul.
4. The staff. I didn't find them friendly or helpful.
5. The used selection is paltry. They definitely have used titles but it's just not good. The stuff that is used is not really stuff that a lot of people want in their collection.
Even though Sonic Boom does have it's shortcomings, it's still a place you should check out. You'll find something want here.
They also have DVD's and fun trinkets too.
