Reviews
I was freaking out when I saw this vinyl by Tierra Whack! Loved the selection at this location- it’s pretty big! I wish I had more time to comb through the store. Definitely wanted to take this home with me to Alberta, but I just picked up an online order. Ordering online and picking it up in store was a breeze! (Purchased Beach Bunny and Princess Nokia from their DEEP DISCOUNTS). I count myself very lucky and very appreciative that the prices here have such a large scale. Thank you to the wonderful staff for helping me in the right direction.
Friendly staff, good layout, respectable prices on used records, great punk section. This record shop still feels like a record shop, there are many in the city that don't... You know what I mean.
