This is a perfect place for serious collectors and crate-diggers alike. They have four turntable/headphone setups, so you can take your time working through a stack of used records. (I lost track of time, and they even stayed open late for me!) I found a ton of gems, and once I got back to my hotel room and looked things up on discogs, I was pleasantly surprised to see they had all recently sold for more than I paid. This shop clearly aims to invest in a relationship with their customers. And, their new stuff is really well-curated. A gem in San Diego, and I will return on subsequent visits.

There are just not enough great things you can say about Folk Arts Rare Records in San Diego! The staff is amazing, knowlegable, friendly and service oriented. They are truly the best record store staff I have experienced in a long time. I have bought from them several times, both from the store and online at Discogs! This is a must stop record store in San Diego! A big shou out to Stef and Brendan for always making it a great experience while selling great records. They have an amazing inventory of high quality records in every genre! Keep up the great work!!!

Love this place since it was called Jupiter Tapes and Records. Always a choice selection of moderately priced vinyl on good condition. Listening stations for used records, even a set of 2 decks and a mixer for impromptu sets and organized mini showcases in store. Thanks for all y'all do. Rebuilding my whole library from scratch after theft isn't going to be easy, but I appreciate you guys making this journey a little easier. Thanks a million. Micah (DJ AriseOne)

Diamond in the rough. Didn’t know this was here. Has a large selection of used original presses and not ripoff priced like a lot of the nostalgia record stores trying to cash in on a fad. Even had 8 tracks (check them some are broken)
