Green Light Go

They have a really good selection and now if you're trying to sell albums he is being more selective on what he purchases because he has such a great selection as it is so I advise you to get down there and look for the albums you want and if they don't have them make sure to tell him to start buying but yeah... Great location great place run some vinyl under a needle and you'll see

I live in South Central Kentucky and was a HiFi salesman and record collector in the seventies and early 80s. I drive all over the country and love to stop in the local record stores to check the places out, talk to owners, buy store branded merchandise and things like that. Sometimes I even buy records. Well, I was driving back home from St cloud Minnesota today and stop by the store. I was blown away by it being the most - Goldilocks - store I've ever been in. It's not the biggest, and it's not the smallest, but it's... Just right. It had a few store-branded things that were interesting and some useful add-ons to any HiFi system. But the three things that also put the icing on the cake was just how friendly the owner and the other person there were while I was shopping. And not just to me but I watch the way they treated other people it was really something. Second, the selection. My tastes are eclectic, and so is the selection. And last, is the pricing. I didn't expect to buy any records there but I did because the prices were absolutely shocking to me. I actually bought pristine used copies of records I already have because they were literally like brand new even though they were used. Even the record jacket. And yet both of them were under $10. If I could have spent more time I know I would have walked out with a lot more. I've been to a lot of stores around the country that I really like. Probably my second favorite is high voltage in tacoma. But this one became my new favorite. It's not the biggest. It's not the smallest. It's just right.

Excellent! Masks required, and they have gloves at the front for customers to wear while browsing

Am I able to browse the collection inside the store during Covid times?

K. Tsoutsoulis | Mar 10, 2021

Yes. A mask and gloves are required inside the building, but both are provided at the door, but I don't think anyone would mind if people came in already wearing masks. There's probably a limit to how many people are allowed in at a time, but except for events like RSD, there shouldn't be a problem in that regard.

Are classical vinyl from the 60s or so of interest these days??
