Downtown Records & Tapes

Great vintage style store. I used to buy all of my CD’s and Vinyl here. This store was where I purchased my first cd. Just a tiny little shop that just never went away. If you’re a fan of music in the Pottstown area, you should check it out at least once.

These places just don’t exist anymore.
Vinyl, CD’s, minimal organization, guitars, amps, t-​shirts. Just a tiny music store from a bygone era. The excitement of paging through shelves of albums, finding things I’ve never heard of. It’s an experience that’s tough to find nowadays. Sure, you might be able to find music easier and cheaper on Itunes if there is something specific you’re looking for, but you’ll never get that feeling of stumbling onto something completely unexpected.
The owner was nice and easy to talk to.
I was working nearby and decided to stop by during a break, so I couldn’t stay long. If I could have, I probably would have spent more time and money than I did, but time was short. So I grabbed a few packs of guitar strings and went on my way.
If I’m in the area again and have some time I will definitely be back. This is a rare gem of a music shop.
