Harvest Records

Pretty good shop! My girlfriend and I both scored some gems and the prices were good. Hip hop selection was pretty paltry. Soundtrack section was on point. They had a small krautrock section, but would’ve liked to see a psych/​garage section. The 45s section was laid out great. Definitely stopping back!

Great Record Store! Harvest has a fantastic selection of all genres of music both new and used vinyl. I found some gems while digging through some of their crates. They also sell some decent vintage receivers and record players. A definite stop if you are in Asheville.

This is a cool spot. I purchased both of my records for under $ 20 a piece, which is pretty rare for most record stores today. I came across multiple records in their catalog that most of the shops back home in FL never carry, including a Scarface record that I was able to pick up. Their punk section could be a little bigger tho.
My only gripe, and it’s petty, but when I walked in the guy at the counter looked at me and then didn’t say a word. I wasn’t expecting a handy or anything, just maybe a what’s up or something. W/​e tho, shop is still cool.

Love this cute west Asheville place. They have a great selection of folk and rock. The workers are pretty nonchalant; they are not in your face but also not super helpful. The prices are okay– more expensive than online but it is nicer to be able to see a selection.

This place is great! Really good selection of various genre of vinyls, old and new. Great deals as well. I really like the surrounding area and businesses too!

This was a pretty decent shop, second best of the three I visited in Greenville on a short stay there. It seemed to be strong in new records and reissues but not as good with good condition used records that I was interested in. I looked all the way through the jazz, blues, and folk sections and in parts of the rock section.

«What do you expect for nothing Rrrrrubber Bisket BOW BOW BOW» The Blues Brothers! Vinyl Records also had Comedy and Music Combined! Van Halen, before SammyHaggarSlacks ruined it (ask Eddie) then David Lee Roth did not do that well on his own either!
This Record Shop is rounding my Vinyl Shop Unilocal Portfolio nicely! What is it about walking into a Record Store (reminds you of the 80’s even if you were Born in the 90’s or 2000’s) Don’t ask me how!
A Fun place to take your MaleFriend or a Cheap Date like in «Scott Pilgram vs the World! You could take Wallace or Knives, but NOT Ramona! I wear Glasses!

Hey hey sup guys!!! Me and the missus rolled up looking to get sorted out with some good used music and I bought a CD and bae thought about getting a ET record but she didn’t. I wish she had though because it had a cool poster of ET hanging out with Michael Jackson and I wanted to hang it up in our apartment but she said no and to be honest she can be so hurtful sometimes and for really no good reason. Anyway I liked this store but I didn’t like the CD I got too much but it was cheap. Ok

There’s plenty of space in this shop, regardless of the very large collection of used/​new vinyl. This helps keep a relaxed aura, and prevents the library from being overwhelming, as their vinyl is organized very well. Every time I’ve come into town, I’ve stopped by, and the staff is always friendly. I would recommend this shop to any vinyl collector.

Is your local record store lacking in natural sunlight?
Do you ever feel judged by your browsing habits?
Have you ever been afraid to inquire as to the availability of an album by an artist you love, because it may be seen as uncool?
Well at Harvest Records you can put all these worries to rest.
Harvest is a gorgeous store with massive windows that let in a fantastic amount of light. I don’t know why, but I find that I bring up light in a lot of my reviews, it matters a lot to me. This record store doesn’t feel like a cave. Even their basement, which is awesome and you must check out, especially during the basement sales, feels more like a hidden area of a museum than a prison.
In an age where most people are purchasing their music in ethereal formats, Harvest takes pride in providing knowledgable service, a helping hand, and a keen interest in curating some of the best CD’s, LP’s, and DVD’s from the past and present. It’s this devotion that makes this place special, and keeps it buzzing with activity.
Harvest is also a fantastic bulletin board for upcoming shows in the area, you can find out about who’s coming through town weeks before hand, and here’s the best part… Harvest sells tickets to shows from a wide variety of venues around town.
Parking in this area on Haywood can be challenging. It’s right by The Walk and Image 420 and a couple of other shops, and finding somewhere on the street to leave your car can take a few minutes. Be calm. It will be worth it.

Good selection of used CDs, two stars for lazy and indifferent service. I purchased a used Son House CD but, when I later opened it, a Neville Brothers record was contained therein. That I cannot abide. Would have returned it but we were visiting from out of town.

An outstanding record store; loads of variety (including a particularly great African section) and a good staff. If you’re a music nerd visiting Asheville this is worth the drive (and the parking hassles in the West end).

This place is the best find in Asheville. They have an amazing selection for anyone with a broad, and specific, music taste. Predominantly metal, indie, punk, experimental, and some electronica. Harvest Records had records that are hard to find, even for avid collectors. Fantastic store. I would have picked up so much more but I had to remember my wallet was not bottomless.

This place has everything for the novice and advanced collectors. I’d heard a lot of great things about this place and my expectations were all met. Super staff and a vinyl collection full of new stuff, classics and the hard to find. In addition, every used piece of vinyl was in excellent condition (no beat up copies were found on my dig).
Spoke briefly with Mark and he was really cool. Spent a couple of hours in Harvest, which could easily have been the entire day.
Can’t wait to visit Asheville again to dig through the great collection.

I live in a good record store town already, but this place was a real gem. Excellent selection, particularly of experimental stuff nice metal and indie rock stuff. Excellent prices too. Well worth stopping by.

Harvest records is great. I work at a large record store and see hundreds of records a day and found stuff here that I’ve never seen before. There wasn’t much of a crowd and the people working were very down to earth and kind. Good prices too!

Harvest Records sells a great selection of new and used records, CDs, DVDs, and even cassettes, plus some music magazines and zines, books, buttons, and seasonal artwork.
Dollar sign money price bracket ranges from $ 2-​to-​5 dollar bargain finds to blow-​your-​credit-​card wad binge spending sprees (and receive a bonus Harvest Records t-​shirt if spend over a hundred dollars during one visit; hey, it happens).
For those in cars like Gary Numan, there’s some parking in front of the store, some parking in back, and if it’s after 5pm then the nearby parking lot to the right seems OK to park at most of the time, but don’t push it.
Walk into Harvest with no expectations and you’ll most always be surprised with what bargains and gems you can find in this well-​lit, astutely curated/​ordered, reasonably priced cornucopia of magic music. On very rare special occasions, the store even hosts live music performances.
If every town had a Harvest Records, the world would be a better place.

Stopped by and really loved the variety of records available. I found great soul and funk records and even a Titi Puente record I’ve been looking for. There’s definitely a lot of rock options as well! Can’t wait to visit again and check out what new records they have available.

Harvest is a place I must go every time I come Asheville to see my friends. They always have records that I’d have to search on ebay for right at your finger tips. Great for new records that are not on major labels (indie, punk, metal, world etc.). Always save a little before I come as I know I will be dropping some coin on good vinyl. Great West Asheville shopping!

I feel extremely lucky to have a record store this great where I live.
Harvest has been setting the bar pretty high these past few years, with a constantly rotating display of reasonably-​priced, quality used records from every genre, a really beautiful and welcoming store atmosphere with vibrant local art on the wall, and most importantly, a staff that goes out of their way to assist you regardless of what your taste in music is.
There are two headphone listening stations where you can spin any used record, which really helps narrow your selections. Sometimes I’ll go in there and grab a handful of records I’ve never heard of out of the New Used section, put on the headphones and look up info about various artists on Allmusic’s website while I listen. Probably my favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and I always leave with some new discoveries.
Matt and Mark have created an institution with Harvest, booking shows all over town in partnership with various venues, bringing acts from all over the world that sometimes you can’t believe are playing in our beloved little mountain city. Truly, they have helped put Asheville on the musical map in a way that is second only to the Orange Peel.
They also stock a nice selection of CDs and DVDs, but I go only for the vinyl.
The only problem with this place is I have to drag myself out of there before I end up dropping too much money!
