Spinnaker Records

This place is awesome! Great vinyl, CD, DVD and memorabilia selection. Im in this place at least once a week to bring home one of the above items

Go local– wherever you are! Wherever I travel if it’s more than a day or two, I inevitably take a look to see if that place has a «real» record store. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Cape Cod is NOT all just about food and tourist shopping, but yes, they also have a couple of REAL record stores too! This one was closest and seemed the most promising so I went that day to check it out.
Very Good selection for its size, and the prices are decent (though not great) too. Overall the organization was OK. Mostly easy to find categories and bands, but some of the racks were jammed a bit tight, and the aisles a bit crowded in some cases. Really, in the end, what’s most important is selection and variety, which they definitely had, and that they are still going strong!
Why another reviewer would gripe that some of the CDs he picked weren’t be sold as «2 for $ 5» is beyond me. The store wouldn’t be in business if it just gave away its stuff! Ditto for the outrage about bootleg posters (assuming they are anyway). Seriously? We are not talking millions in sales here folks. A poster made from some fan photos isn’t going matter in the grand scheme of things. It’s more than likely that the posters were «real» but just not great quality. Anyway, so glad to see this place is still going in 2015!

If you like buying vinyl, CDs, Rock Ts and memorabilia, this is a great store. He has lots of vinyl both new and used! Seems like the specialty is in rate titles. I bought a Reissued of a Rush radio broadcast on vinyl. Prices are fair. Must stop for the music lover when visiting the cape.

I used to enjoy going to Spinakker Records to check through the 2 for $ 5 rack. The last time, however, I took my stack of cd’s to the register, only to be told that most of them weren’t supposed to be 2 for 5. The thing is, there were multiple copies of some of the disks there, so it’s not like someone took them from another rack (the regular disks are in special cases, so that would be unlikely anyway). So, I wasted a lot of time, and Spinakker lost a customer.

This place is not cool.
They sell bootleg posters, which means they take images off the internet, print them and sell them with no license or consideration for the artists. A recent stop had several low quality prints from the GHOSTBUSTERS tribute show put on by Gallery 1988 featuring a lot of great artists.
They also sell bootleg DVDs of things like MST3K– this is just not right. Essentially a store with signs about prosecuting shoplifters doing the exact same thing to the artists whose work they are ripping off.
This place deserves to close. Unethical and illegal.

Neat little place. No idea how they stay in business since movies and CDs are all online though. Hope they find a way to change with the times because it is a great place.

Loved this store to the max until I spoke to one of the clerks that said all he really cared about was money. Very sad. I probably won’t be back. Such a cool place — to bad the staff has a bad attitude.

Finally — a record store that doesn’t overcharge for used LPs. I found this place on Unilocal and decided to visit while on my way from Eastham to Central MA. Not a bad detour. Walked out with one brand new double LP for $ 20 (John Mayer — Continuum) and three other used LPs: two for $ 5 (The Cars Debut Album & Aretha’s Greatest hits) and one for $ 10 (Axis: Bold as love), which I believe to be reasonable prices. The used vinyls are in great condition, even though when I got home, I found A: BAL to be little warped, and the last track has a broken groove so it repeats, but I don’t care because it’s at the end of the song. The LPs seem to have the least real estate in the store and most of the used vinyls are in unorganized bins, so if you visit — take your time and go through them all. You’ll be sure to find some cheap gems. I’ll be back the next time I’m on this side of the canal.

This is really an excellent stop for music and now movies. It would have been an amazing spot back when CDs were high in sales, but they do offer exceptional service for you.

One of my favorite shops to go to. Stop in every time I’m on the cape and always find stuff I can’t get anywhere else.

Spinnaker is a staple of Hyannis, a staple of Cape Cod. A staple in the stapler of life that holds together the vinyl hopes of the country.
It’s JAM PACKED with CDs, records, posters, tshirts, DVDS and lots of stuff any music lover, TV buff, or nerd would love. What’s there not to love?
In the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis lies Newbury Comics which has a similar vibe, but I like Spinnaker way more. I’ve been coming here since before I can remember and there is always something cool to check out.
They have such an insane collection of random things that you will never find elsewhere. The shirts alone are rare and diverse. The records are fun to go through and I pick one up every once and a while. The whole shop is like a pop culture pot of gold.
They say «support your local record shop» and I couldn’t agree more. Life and the Cape would be an emptier place without Spinnaker Records.

Cool place, if your in the area definitely worth checking out. Great selection of shirts, posters, vinyl and DVD’s etc.

Support your local record stores! Oh sure, everything is online now. Tell me this, though. Can you get that just browsing feeling. Physically looking at various merchandise and just soaking up the vibes by using a computer???
Didn’t think so.
Are you looking for that Beatles poster or rare cd for your collection? It’s here.
DVD from any genre you can think of? Right over on that wall.
Pop culture t shirt or action figure that might be a little bit harder to find? Here.
This is a must stop place whenever I find myself in Hyannis. They really fit a lot of things into such a relatively small space.
Just about every band and genre of movie is represented here. You can generally be left alone to browse which is a nice touch. Although the staff strikes me as people who know their stuff.
Call it a hunch or what you will.
These are the experiences you can not just get any old place.
I half expect John Cusack from High Fidelity to walk though any minute. That is definitely not a bad thing.
So, support your local record stores before we are all forced to convert to a chip in our brains where we will eventually receive all information and entertainment!

Spinnakers is one of the staples of Main St. Hyannis. Now that Newbury Comics has moved to the Cape Cod Mall, Spinnakers is the only record shop with a local atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that most teenagers used to dream about working at. It’s High Fidelity-​esque.
Inside, you’ll find CDs, DVDs, vinyl, action figures, T-​shirts, posters, and more fun stuff. I always enjoy looking around and running into some amazing finds in the miscellaneous CD sections.
Now that CD sales are plummeting, I really hope this shop sticks around. I usually stop by every time I’m on Cape and usually walk away with some music that was lost in time and can’t be found online. If you’re a music fan, you’ll run into some used CDs or records that will make you wonder how they got there.
They also have locations in Falmouth and P-​Town (called Strangeways).

Really neat shirts (for bands/​television/​movies), cheap used vinyl and great nostalgic action figures/​bobble-​heads!
Tons of used dvds & cds for decent prices, they have cheap 2 for $ 5 cd section but it was tough to figure out the order of sections.
Really great selection of new and used vinyl.
Customer service was definitely lacking, but I think its because they know their clientele and most of their shoppers probably want to be left alone to browse. Staff mostly stood behind the front counter away from the sales floor for the entire hour we were in this shop.
Will definitely visit this shop again when I have more time to browse.

This place is great. I make a special trip here every time I am on the Cape. Super cheap used DVDs and a great selection of new including Criterion and foreign. Lots of fun music, TV, pop culture t-​shirts.

I stopped in with my family while on vacation. We all have very different tastes in music but we discovered that they carry a little of everything for everyone. Everything you want and never knew you needed! I really wish there where more music stores like this place in existence. Where have they all gone?

Really big 2 for $ 5 CD section. Sure, it’s mostly crap, but I found 3 right away that I wanted. Also a similar $ 5 DVD wall. All in all I picked up 3 CD’s and 1 TV Season Boxset for under $ 25. Very cute boy working there as well, always a plus.
