I was happy to stumble upon a new spot for used records, especially since several of my main haunts continue to close. Unfortunately their listening station was ‘out of service’ so I couldn’t preview anything. I ended up taking a risk with a dozen or so 45s and 4 albums, all of which looked to be (visually) in fair to good condition. Most of them seemed reasonably priced, not too high, and not amazing steals. When I got home many of my $ 3 45s were completely unplayable, $ 8 albums were skipping and popping. As a matter of fact, I need new styli after playing most of these.
Suffice to say, buyer beware! Unless they fix their preview station, I would be very wary of this spot. Considering the condition most of these records, I’m not even sure why they’re ‘for sale’ at all, if not in the 50 cent bin. $ 50 later I’m not exactly rushing back.

Great new vinyl LPs store. The coowner is French so you can find some very unusual records here as I did. The records are mostly clean and very well cared for, and excellent selection of jazz R&B and pop. And the prices were quite good. My only complaintis that the listening station is directly in front of the stores music system. And using their tiny little headphones it was very hard to hear what I listening to. So I suggest you take your own headphones. Get there early while the really weird records are still there!
