Very cool record store in Downtown Worcester. Came for record store Day and was very organized and clean. Definitely worth checking out!

The best record store in the East coast. I’ve been collecting records for a long time now and have never had a better experience than I’ve had at Joe’s albums. The range of records that you can find here is unmatched. The walls feature a collection of various music merchandise and signed memorabilia which is always fun to look at. They offer the widest variety of records and I always leave with multiple records that I have been looking for. The store is organized perfectly and the staff will always help you find whatever you need. There’s no reason to go to another record store when you have Joe’s.

I visited Joe's Albums for the first time last week and was impressed. The store is clean and well organized. The pricing is reasonable, and the selection was excellent—a nice mix of popular and obscure titles across various genres. I'd say that the store mainly skews rock and rock sub-genres, which is primarily what I collect. The inventory is about 50/50 new and used. All of the used albums I purchased were in excellent condition. I'll definitely be back.

Do you buy used CD's ?

Joe's has a section of used CDs, but the majority of the space is dedicated to vinyl. You probably want to call to see what his CD purchasing criteria are.

I have maybe 20 cartons of 1960-1990 albums--blues (some signed covers), classical, Christmas (Firestone and other tire company records) and pop/rock including Harry Chapin and Eric Clapton. Would you be interested in buying these?

Hello Harry, Unfortunately I don't think we would be able to help. We haven't found a lot of demand for Spanish music from this time period. Sorry

Do you make house calls? I have 3 boxes of records ( 50 or more) - all in excellent or very good condition?

Theodore Hoffman | Aug 20, 2019
Joe's Albums | Aug 20, 2019

Hello Theodore, We typically do not unless there is a very large quantity (500-1,000 or more). Quantities in the range of your collection are usually brought to the store. I'd love to say I'd come take a look. It would be a well intentioned response but the reality is that it would take a very long time before I could fit it in. Joe
