Decatur, GA
Good local shop. The owner seems friendly enough I have personally interacted with him about 15 or 20 times. He was also nice to my wife while she was there on RSD Black Friday 2014. He has his opinions about things that get in the way of the music but I never took it as rude. Just opinionated. I like supporting this shop and will continue to do so.

The owner of Decatur CD is a straight up A-​HOLE. I was abused by him one too many times. I really wanted to support an indie store like this, and I love Decatur, and I do think they have a good selection at this store. But the owner (ponytail dude) is rude and his workers are not much better. Eff this place.

The guy in the shop was knowledgeabl, friendly, and didn’t seem to mind that I wasn’t an aficionado. He helped me find a cd of a blues artist I didn’t know I loved. More importantly, he ordered an obscure album that I was looking for from Europe and mailed it to my house, all for what I would have paid for a top 40 cd anywhere else. The vinyl is a little pricey, but is all in excellent condition. Great place.

Not a bad store but the old dude with the white hair and beard and the kid working the register has the personalities of a wet wash rag. Depressing atmosphere.

I *love* this store. I miss having a lot of independent record/​CD stores (Wuxtry is just dim and, I don’t know, icky?), and Warren definitely knows his stuff. It’s great to go through collections of World Music, or add to my CD library from old vinyl albums made into CD’s. Warren even helped me find which copy of a CD I wanted and not everyone will go to that trouble. Decatur is lucky to have Decatur CD in its downtown area.

Confusing layout, lots of records in IKEA shelves that I had to lay on the ground to look at and owner lives up to his less than friendly reputation.
Will not be going back for a 3rd visit.

The Owner is a grouch. And, prices higher than Wuxtry.

Great location for me and has a big selection to choose from. The prices are on the higher side than say Walmart, but it’s worth it to keep places like this alive. So, paying $ 15 for a CD that could be $ 5 on AmazonMP3 is something I’m willing to do to support a local record shop. I’ve also read here that the Owner, Warren, is mean or unfriendly. I don’t know how someone can get to that conclusion. He’s helpful, but not overly fake, with a cheery attitude that’s off-​putting. He’s a soft-​spoken guy who is easy to talk to.

I like this place. They have a good selection and friendly staff. The prices are sometimes a little higher than Criminal, but think about the price and safety of parking in L5P. These guys know about good music. Ask them for suggestions.

Was in from out of town, good choices and great prices. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great independent record store. And you should shop there.

Best music store in all of metro Atlanta.
I’ve been going there for years. They have a very good selection and friendly staff. If they don’t have something just ask them to order it for you. They usually get it in a day, so don’t waste your time ordering from an online retailer. They have a good used selection as well. To top it all off the places smells good.

A real pleasant surprise. I’ve driven past here so many times and never gone in. I buy most of my music from various L5P stores. But after calling all of them and asking for a specific CD which no one had I was pleased that Decatur CD a copy and held it for me. They don’t carry all of the genres I’m normally looking for but they do have a good range of CDs, records, books and DVDs. It seemed that they had all the garage vinyl re issues I’d pined over for years. The staff were super friendly, almost too friendly. Another plus, they have a parking lot and stay open until 9pm. They weren’t on my list for finding music but now they’re definitely in the rotation.

I really like how it feels here! It’s cozy! And I love going and flipping through their albums, and looking at local band stuff.

Decatur CD is a great place to find local music, good country, DVDs, books and a great mix of new and used CDs. Very few of the CDs are priced higher than I wanted to pay, and Hubby D found everything he was looking for for $ 12 and under.
It’s just a great old school overflowing fountain of record store goodness. There’s more of a «I want to share music with you.» vibe than a «I listen to bands you’ve never heard of and never will.» vibe here. I dig it.
Plus, they have free parking, a rarity in Decatur!

I like Decatur CD because of the huge amount of in stock new releases. Plenty of new vinyl too. I’ve seen a few in store performances here. The Meat Puppets (the Meat Puppets!) were great. Autumn Defense was here recently but I missed it. It’s a local record store. Support it!

Nice, knowledgeable staff. Most importantly, not the least bit pretentious.
Clean, well ordered store with good ambience. Very good selection, clearly stocked by serious music fans.
Definitely a local business well worth supporting!

Push thru the pretentious feeling that ALL record stores emanate. Decatur CD is the real deal. The owner operator cares about your experience. If you need help ASK, it always amazes me what the ask gets me in return.
Five star factor for customer service and CD release parties that provide beer. Love it!

I was raised in the music industry and tire easily of haughty record store clerks that act like they are doing you a *DX*% favor by talking to you. We SHARE a love of music, right~show some solidarity.
This will not happen at Decatur CD. Every time I have been in, the customer service is nice, even if I am just dashing in to have them put a poster in the window.
Just got James Hunter-​The Hard Way and Allan Toussaint-​The Bright Mississippi, both stellar releases.
Ya, it cost more than scouring ebay or Amazon, but I wanted to support my local business. Take that, B&N!
Cheers~
