Basement Records

Wonderful record shop! The owner, Matt, is very friendly and knows his stuff! The entire place is organized by catagories and they have a decent selection of used movies and games, too.

Very organized clean environment with tons of vinyl. Another treasure in South Knoxville.

A great little shop in South Knoxville. Very organized and great prices. They also have an awesome selection of vinyl. Highly recommended!

Great place to find vintage vinyl. Pleasant customer service. Clean and tidy store. It’s nice to know that a Mom and Pop store can still survive in South Knoxville. I highly recommend Basement Records.

I like what this place is now. For years, you might’ve known it as a shifty comic slash record store. Some new dude has bought it, and apparantly kept the name. There are still comics (i’m no the one to ask about that. no clue… i bought Barbie comics as a kid). He has a good, solid collection of records. No «rare» finds as in import, first edition, fan club version etc. But if you’re like me and eliminating your CD collection in favor of digital and vinyl only, you WILL find some copies of classic sh*t you’re looking for on vinyl. I’ve looked for a replacement copy of The Boss’s Tunnel of Love for a year, and found an original copy here for $ 8. I also found a weird piano interpretation of Kahlil Gibran’s «The Prophet». There’s plenty of a solid rock, metal, and a good quirky selection of jazz. If you want to get your Alice Cooper on or buy a vintage Motorhead pin, stop in and check it out.
