If you want to discover what makes this store great? It is the opportunity to listen to records before you buy and discover music you will not hear in many record stores.I appreciate the owner and staff for maintaining a store that supports the DJs and listeners of electronic dance music.

Got my order in the mail all the way out here on the west coast in just over a week. Awesome thanks!
