About Joe's Record Paradise

Joe's Record Paradise is a highly recommended record store, known for its vast selection of records, particularly for jazz lovers. The store is filled to the brim with a wide variety of music genres, including R&B, hip hop, and house. It also offers a decent number of cassette tapes, although the artists may not be very interesting. The shop has had to move several times but is now tucked away in the basement of an office building, making it a hidden gem. The space is very spacious and organized, which helps create a more enjoyable browsing experience despite the chaotic vibe of the place. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist customers in finding records they like. Prices are fair, with discounts often available for larger purchases and for rare gems. The store's unique location can be accessed via the main lobby's stairs or elevator. Although masks are required, exploring the extensive music collection makes visiting well worth it.

    An insane quantity of records plus a decent number of cassette tapes (not very interesting artists, though). Definitely a place to spend some time digging, if you don’t mind the chaotic vibe of the whole place. I’d say it’s worth your time if you plan to visit, even though I didn’t but anything.

    The shop has had to move many times. I'm glad I found it again tucked away in the basement of an office building.
    Huge selection of Jazz, my fave genre, and many other realms. Very fair prices. Lots of rare gems. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Great record store! So many places these days call themselves a record store if they have a crate or two of records — not this place. This place is bursting at the seams with records (in the best way possible). Prices are quite fair and if you buy quite a few you’ll get a discount at the counter.It’s in a bit of a funny location. Just enter the main lobby and use the stairs or elevator to head downstairs. This place is a gem and well worth a visit.
