Records – The Good Kind

Good selection, stuff was mostly in very good condition, too. A bit on the expensive side, though, e.g. no dollar bin but lots of $ 3 records. Worth a dig, though.

Stopped in this great store, the best thing about this record shop is that it is clean, lots of room and even the bargain bin are alphabetized. Picked up a few cool albums, I can’t wait to stop in again.

Always find some cool records here! The people who work there are really nice and they have a huge selection for pretty good prices! The best part to me is the organization. Pretty much everything is alphabetized and all in categories. They also have cassettes, cds, and record players!

stopped in today with my 3yo and 7mo right at noon to avoid a breakdown from either due to hunger/​tiredness.
got a nice comment on how they were well-​behaved, so that was cool.
bins upon bins of old and newer records. the labels all have comments if a record is ‘a bit scratchy’ or ‘first US pressing’ or whatever else, so they give you a heads up.
they’ll also let you give it a listen on the turntable to make sure you know what it is you’re buying and to make sure it sounds ok, though I’m sure they do their due diligence before crating them.
there are tons of $¾ for $ 10 bins as well as New Release shelves and there is a little (ok, a LOT) bit of everything.
got 2 Johnny Cash records, a 2-​LP Lynyrd Skynyrd live recording, and an Otis Spann LP for $ 22. didn’t listen in-​store as kids were volatile. got home, listened to them each for a few minutes, and they sounded great.
the Spann record had ‘a bit scratchy’ written on the $ 6 price sticker but it sounded pretty good, like it was pressed in 1961 (which it was).
new to the record player game and after getting 4 new presses for the holidays it was cool to get 4 ‘new’ ones that were all 25+ years old.
definitely gonna be back, without kids next time.

Surprisingly good! Quiet, small, and very casual place. Got some real gems that it only cost me $ 20 for five records. Even some uncommon stuff they have are really good pricing. The guy who runs the place is very laid back and do see he’s very passionate and have no intention to rip you off. I do plan on coming back, and see what else they have.

Welcome to the a local time machine that will take you back to an earlier time, when people stood in line for music versus ordering it online and having the music fairy deliver it at midnight. I found myself flipping through crates and crates of older beautiful vinyls for what seemed like an eternity. Hidden gems to guilty pleasures all can be found here.
The rhyme and reason to the sorting took a bit to get used to, everything on the left hand side of the store is on one pricing model with a general sorting to artist, and on the right some of the more meticulously sorted materials by groups, pressing etc.
I miss the old school record stores where you could walk in and have a conversation about music with the clerk at the counter, and walk out with two or three bands you’ve never heard of based off of recommendations, and never regret the experience. This place took me back to that experience
Awesome place for vinyls. I think I saw some cassette and 8 tracks while looking around

Ive been all over the state of CT and Southern MA and I would have to say the selections the owner Ian has is better than most. He has alot of great records in great condition. Not many CDs or tapes (but who wants those today lol and thats not really how I see the vision of this store) The owner is pretty personable too and will answer any questions you have. There are record players to use if you want to hear it first. And the best thing is that its right around the corner from my house. And now shops at 30 has become my hangout with Reins Deli, Used Books and Vinyl Records… if they could only open a vintage guitar or instrument store and then it would be complete. Lol

Awesome spot. Some great finds in the stacks. Ian is a great guy and he offered to carry a friend’s band’s tape as well. Will be back soon!
