| - How do you write a review worthy of a place so good? Without a doubt, Jerry's is the best record store I've been in. Three words may be able to sum up Jerry's:
Quantity
Diversity
Price
And Quality could be thrown in there too, but 3 words looks better. Anyway, the first thing you notice walking up the steps to Jerry's is the smell of the old records, and you just get a feeling for the journey they've taken to arrive there.
Jerry's selection is unrivaled anywhere in the city, and likely in most of the country. Hundreds of thousands of records fill the large main room and multiple back rooms. Genres span everything that's ever been recorded on vinyl: rock, bluegrass, county, opera, jazz, rap, funk, spoken word, new age, motown... The list goes on. I've heard he's even got a warehouse full of records yet to be seen.
And one of the most amazing things is that the entire selection is categorized and organized with incredible accuracy. Th guys at Jerry's do a great job of this. If you can't find something, they do, just ask.
And his prices can not be beat. Most records are $3 or $4, sometimes up to $8 for really popular ones, but that is a rarity. Best of all, I think Jerry listens to nearly every record that comes through the door. If you're lucky enough to find one that he's marked "GREAT!"...buy it! You will not be disappointed.
Whenever I need a fix for some great tunes, Jerry's is the place to go.
