I've been going to this place for over 40 years. Great selection and very helpful. A gem of a store that are fewer and far between. I always support small biz and this one is an absolute blast to shop at.

Great record store in CT! I remember going to their Wallingford location when it was open. Vinyl-wise, They have large Pop/Rock and Jazz sections and a pretty decent Soul/Funk/R&B (wish it was a bigger). I don’t remember seeing Hip Hop but I might’ve just missed it. Also a pretty large selection of 45’s, collectors sets, CDs and some cassettes. They also have a huge selection of used record equipment (speakers, receivers, turntables). The owner, Mike, is very knowledgeable as he’s been doing this for quite some now.

Customer service was decent, however they were incredibly expensive 2 records for more than $80 Is beyond ridiculous. Not to mention there were furries making animal noises when we got there and they were picked over and had little to choose from. The overall experience wasn’t great, definitely won’t go back, sorry. 🤷‍♀️
