I love this place for the records and «pipe saloon» always get my dollar records here and this Jawn called hempwick always my go to spot super professional super nice!
I recommend this spot to anyone who wants a good record nicely priced or a tobacco pipe/​products go here

For my record collection, I’m focused on buying records of newer albums that I enjoy. I listen mostly to the «pop-​punk» genre and Creep is a great place to fill my record needs. This is very close to where I live so I pop in every time and again just to see what’s new. Prices on records are not too outlandish so I don’t feel bad picking something up. The check in deal doesn’t really make a dent unless you are purchasing something big.
I don’t smoke but they have an interesting pipe shop in the back. On their instagram they have a lot of cool looking pipes but I can’t really comment anything more than that.
They frequently have shows in the shop so it’s cool to pop in and see what’s happening. It’s a great shop to have in Northern Liberties and I’ll probably keep coming back as long as I live close by.

Local record store has a good selection of used and new vinyl. The owner has been putting out great cds and lps on his own label Creep Records for over 20 years. They have gigs sometimes with lots of good musical talent that are always free. Friendly and informative and specialize in alternative, indie, emo, punk, hardcore and metal. In the back room they have lots of glass for you Rasta and hippie types or just the casual water pipe smoke… not my thing, but it’s there if you are into it.

I just found out this place is selling the David Bowie Blackstar vinyl for $ 50. They doubled the price just because he died.
Dick move. Star lost.

I ordered from their online store and let me tell ya, it was a great experience. The shipping was super fast! And in the comments section of the online order form, I asked if they would draw me a picture. Lo and behold, they exceeded my expectations. Made my day. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would order from again
The record was cool too!

Let me get to the point, there was a Beatles album, magical mystery tour, ok condition in the used bin. I had no intentions of buying it but was curious about the $ 100.00 sticker it carried. I unknowingly asked shaggy from scooby doo who I didn’t even know was a real person but he actually works here and questioned him about this price. When he pulled out the album and discovered it carried the book with it he went right into character almost making a mess in the front of his pants. I had four people there with me to verify this unbelievable occurrence, I was shocked as I looked around to hope my pals were watching this cartoon character continue his «sales pitch» he was ohhhhhing and ahhhhhing and jeeezzzzN and wowwwewing and he ended his shenanigans by informing us that his mind was officially blown. I told him, «so was mine.» And he said its definitely $ 100.00!!! I told him sardonically to hold onto it for me that id be back later, his response was «cool beans» that officially lost any credibility as a term at that precise moment. We left this ridiculous establishment where new albums sell for 20 – 99 and used albums go for $ 100. Please don’t start you adventures in collecting here it will dissuade you from continuing the adventure in record collecting, this place gets two thumbs down as a record store, the head shop where Shaggy was looked pretty «cool beans»

So stoked we stumbled on this store! I heard live music and turns out they were having a show in the record store. We listened to a few bands while perusing an incredible selection of vinyl. Then we wandered in back and bought a few cool items from the back. Will was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I probably will never be back in Philly, but the one night I spent there was dope.

This is a review of the part of the shop that contains records. The head shop side I have never been in as I no longer have any interest in that sort of thing.
As far as the vinyl goes, its primarily new stock, not a heck of a lot of used vinyl (not «vinyls») worth a damn. Oh right, and as other reviewers have stated, the pricing is juuuust a wee bit high. I’ve picked up a few things here and there over the years but generally I just thumb through and say «wtf» looking at the price tags and split.
They should really consider just scaling the vinyl section way, way down, cutting their inventory in half and stick to selling strictly new vinyl only. Just stick to the whole RSD thing, or whatever. As far as record stores go, this place is WEAK. 90% of their business seems to be the head shop side.
Whenever I’m in there looking at records, the staff rarely speaks to me (which i’m cool with), and I’ve almost never seen other people looking through records with me. In the meantime, the head shop is BUMPIN’. So Creep, take «records» out of the name of the shop, stick to head shop. quit with the record label, start making custom bongs. err water pipes. whatever you’re supposed to call ‘em legally.
One final note: their stickers that they put on the records — nothing bugs me more than record shops that use price stickers that you can’t fuckin’ peel off. huge pet peeve for me. princeton record exchange has a similar technique, the bastards. i suppose it’s used as a detriment for shop lifters? i’ve never understood that. i always tend to forget about those goddamned price stickers until i get home and then i get to feel that special frustration mixed w/​buyers remorse while i try to peel that super-​sticky sumbitch off (unsuccessfully).

Guy at the counter was helpful and answered my questions as much as he legally could and the prices are good so it’s a win win. Pipe prices are good and seem a lot more reasonable than wonderland

Very cool record store, just a bit expensive for the new vinyl. Solid selection of old and new vinyl and it’s laid out pretty well. The store clerk was surprisingly friendly as well.
It’s definitely worth a good browse, but if you’re looking for some new vinyl and it’s not something hard to find, you’re probably better buying directly from the artist online.

I’ve never seen such a solid collection of records! Creep has the new collector in mind rather than having crates of old, scratched, and damaged vinyl, they’ve filled their shelves with modern releases at a pretty fair price. The staff has always been nothing but stellar with me and even treat me like a local when I pop in from time to time. They’ve custom ordered some records for me, some I knew would be out of print or sell out quickly! The shows they put on in the front of the store always promote a great cause since they’re always free and any donations go right to the bands! Jill, Molly and Will are the friendliest of people and will forever have my business! Thanks guys!

The best shop of its kind in Philadelphia. The staff is so nice and the owner is first rate. Great selection and great pricing.

I am reviewing the back portion headshop. My boyfriend and I frequent this place. Jen (I think that’s her name, pink hair super cool) usually helps us out. They have a really nice selection of pieces. They are on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. There is a sick selection of illadeph glass as well as medicali. They also pick up some sick pieces from independent artists which are fun to look at. Make sure you grab some candles too, $ 10 bucks and they work for 70+ hours while getting rid of smoke odor. When you shop there you can join a point program which hooks you up with nice discounts and promotions. I follow the Instagram as well which keeps me posted on the latest sales.

Friendly people, great selection of vinyl!

Love this place! I needed help finding the right vape, and the staff at Creep was so knowledgable and nice. Very friendly atmosphere, highly recommend stopping in and checking the place out!

This is strictly in regard to the head shop section of the store.
The staff was welcoming and pleasant. Gave us a decent time to browse before offering their expertise, which they did without being pushy for a sale. The were pretty knowledgeable of the products they carry, and others that they dont. In which case they almost every time had something comparable. Prices are a little on the high side, but that to be expected since the complete annihilation of the true Northern Liberties. That being said, they do have items in multiple price ranges, for almost anyone. They didnt have exactly what I was looking for, but found a great gift for someone else. They carry Extreme Q’s and Volcanos as a testament to their ability to compromise on prices. They also have pieces in the thousands for those type of people. I recommend them and look forward to returning.

I took a really long time picking out my pipe, I even started to kind of annoy myself, but they were very patient and helpful. Plus, with the Unilocal deal, I got $ 70 worth of stuff for $ 50.

Great products and friendly/​knowledgeable staff. What more can you ask for? Arik and his crew really know their stuff and are always happy to help. Stop by here if you’re looking for great records or awesome glass. Also they have bands play every once in a while which is pretty cool as well… Definitely check this place out when you’re in Philly.

They have a decent selection here when it comes to new records; the issue is that they are a tad overpriced. The used records are cheap, but nothing really worth buying. Also, if you want to feel unwelcomed and feel the self important judgement then go here for your hipster apathy!
