first time in here, and i was texting friends the address within a few minutes as i was pulling find after find. the owner and I talked about Kate Bush for a while and I spent too much money on some incredible stuff. but the big thing I noticed is how patiently and thoroughly the owner was in guiding a young couple thru the basics of buying their first turntable and vinyl, explaining what makes it special with not an ounce of burnout or gatekeeping or arrogance, just wanting to share the thing he clearly loved. really everything you could want in a record store.
I love this place. I was there today for Record Store Day and had a blast picking up some new vinyl and chatting with a lot of awesome people. Besides The Record Collector having a great selection of so many genres of music, the staff is so knowledgeable and welcoming. The only thing that I wish they still did at the store would be the live shows.
It’s was our first Record Store Day and we really enjoyed your store! Very friendly staff and knowledgeable, I overheard many people asking questions and it seemed the staff had all the answers. Thank you for also letting my little dude play the piano!
