Analog Underground

For someone new to the world of records and the magic of vinyl sounds, I am so glad my fiancé and I were introduced and guided through the many vinyls Dave has in his shop. Dave has a great selection of immaculate records and an immeasurable knowledge about records, the upkeep and overall culture of owning your own discs. This place is definitely a go to for those just exploring and who are already well versed in the world of vinyl. Can’t wait to go back!

I found Stevie Wonder’s greatest hits for $ 3 (busted cover!), need I say more? Well yes, so I shall!
Before I made the trek to the west side, I made sure to look at the reviews. People seem to really like this place, so I was psyched! I dragged my partner along and off we went!
The number of crates and records on walls was simultaneously overwhelming and exciting! Within minutes, my partner found Jay-Z’s The Black Album while I spotted several Donna Summer albums. Again, I must reference the $ 3 Stevie Wonder album: it was a great find! I also overjoyed to find a copy of Still Bill by Bill Withers. While it was jarring to find the Nazi Germany album, I shook my head and put it back in the discounted bin. We were very impressed by the selection.
This is only my third time purchasing LPs in a store and I had a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and allowed us to spend well over an hour perusing as many crates as we could stand. We were eager to get home after 90 minutes and 8 great finds. It was an amazing experience and we will return very soon.

My story negates the good selection of records at this store. I found a nazi record in the stacks and brought it to the front counter. I said that it was really offensive to me, as a Jewish person, for the store to be making money off of it. The not-​so-​bright-​or-​sensitive dude at the counter said «it’s historical». Yes my friend. The slaughter of six million of my people IS historical. It doesn’t make it okay to sell. Would you sell records about slavery?
I am really disappointed in how this young man handled the situation. I am even more disappointed that the store would carry this record in the first place. I would consider questioning their values before you shop there. Anti-​Semitic? You be the judge.

Great little shop! Prices are fantastic, many $ 10.00 and under. The selection is is amazing from jazz to trance, punk, metal, classic and newer non radio music.
The owner was friendly and helpful. Will be back!

Really solid small record store with a good variety of genres and prices. The owner was really nice and friendly. The prices are mostly reasonable, and there are some good deals to be had in the $ 3 and $ 5 bins. I really liked the selection of old school hip-​hop and miami bass records. The only possible recommendation I could have is to add a listening station.

Best Record Store!!!

Small shop, but a decent selection of records reasonably priced. If you buy so many you get one for free. We went on a day when they were having a sale ($ 3.00 records were $ 1.00 and everything else was 15% off) so we got a bunch of records for only around $ 25. Will definitely go back.

For RI this is as good as it gets. Friendly staff, good selection and reasonable prices. My only gripe is that they don’t have a listening station. I would be more willing to stop by and check out their selection if I were able to run through some of the titles that I’m not 100% on. That’s how you find those hidden gems!

This place blew me away. Amazing selection of used records (all vg or nm) and prices that I didn’t believe at first. Talked to the owner for a bit — could not have been nicer or more helpful. One of the best record stores I have ever been to. Go here now!

Awesome record shop owned by someone who knows everything you need to.

Awesome little record shop. The owner is friendly and knowledgable. He’s got a ton of great «hipster» type albums available.

So few record stores left, so brave the proprietors who run them. Top of the heap in Providence right now is this little spot, with reasonably priced new and used LPs of all stripes, and a knowledgable and cordial staff. I found what had to be the only unsold copy in the USA of an African LP reissue that I’d been seeking and that was just the tip of the ice berg. Not to be missed.

I really don’t want to tell you this is the best record shop I’ve ever been to. That they have some of the best albums, some of which my partner and I have never seen at any of the other shop before. I don’t even want to tell you that it’s a goddamn steal to pick up Harry Nilsson, Talking Heads, and Gary Numan for under $ 10, albums that we’ve not found on vinyl elsewhere.
I want to keep it all to myself. But the vinyl revival forces me to share the love. If you’re a collector, you will know by the selection of music in the crates infront of the store that this is where you need to be.
We picked up a ton of records, but there is still so much more… The records are clean and in good condition.
The only bummer about this spot is that there’s no listening station. This is easily looked over when the guy at the counter offers to play any record you want while you shop.

Analog Underground makes me long for my dad’s old record player, a stack of vinyl to go through with a sixer and my best friend. Breathe deep, and smell the nostalgia: that’s what it’s all about.
The small-​ish shop way down on Broadway is unpretentious and super-​chill. On fist glance, they had Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder and The Stones popping out of their milk crate display case on the sidewalk, and were blaring some more modern music on the sound system. They’re mostly a vinyl shop, but do have a small selection of CDs and even cassettes.
The records are mostly worn lovingly, but in good condition and they’re very reasonably priced. This is a great little record shop, kids. Defs worth a visit!

**disclaimer, I rarely give 5 stars for my first visit to a place. This place came close, I will have to visit again and update then.
We had finished brunch and I walked in not knowing what to expect. This is a great little record shop, diverse selection for the size, and the prices are priced to sell to the normal record listener not collectors. After taking a look through their selection I had my stack of records to buy, and I began talking to the guy behind the counter while he wrote up my receipt.
I was shocked to hear they just opened a year ago, their inventory would suggest otherwise and it just added to my already impressed opinion of their shop. The guy was very knowledgeable in not only the local Providence music scene, but without pausing he recommended another shop just up the road for some metal that I was looking for.
It’s difficult to find a cool record shop with staff that is just as excited as you about sharing the wealth in regards to finding what you’re looking for. I really wish it was in Boston, but i guess I have another reason to visit Providence more often.
