| - This is one of two locations within 20 minutes of each other. This spot has the marginally larger, better shape collection with the staff that obviously run both shops. There were multiple people organizing things here and hanging out when I arrived. The music at this spot was louder and clearer (using the same speakers as the other location, though). They closed the evening with a Black Crowes live album that always sounds great (was playing on CD though!)
Yelp, these stores close at 8, not 9 on most weekdays. The staff tells me you won't let them update their own business information. That's hard to believe.
Like my other review, this store shares the largest $1 collection I've seen in any store, all in boxes along the floor. Hours are required to make a complete pass. You'll find lots of nothing, but also sprinkled throughout are some nice trinkets. Up top are reasonably priced for the most part better picks.
The staff here is just polite enough to earn a pass. My bar is typically lowered for record stores, so anything said pretty much rolls off. I asked where Stevie Wonder was because the location here differed from their other store (was Jazz, Vocal at the last place, here its "Soul because he's Black"). I also have no problem asking every store if when buying more than 10 if they'll give a discount. This was more uncomfortable than it had to be here.
I left here with somewhere on the order of 25 selections across the board. No big winners, just a bunch of okay titles which could I'm sure be had elsewhere if I were concerned about waiting for more mint condition. Great store for people short on dough but would like to build up their collection and get emotionally involved with certain artists/albums then look for nicer copies of favorites later.
I understand they have a number of used CD's here as well; while I could probably use some of those as well, I didn't give them a chance at this or the other location. Vinyl for the win.
