Penny Lane Records

I came in looking for a present for a friend of mine. I knew several bands that my friend was interested in, but I am very new to the whole vinyl game, so I didn’t know anything about rarity, about vintage vs. new, or anything like that. The owner was extremely helpful in explaining all these aspects to me. It’s clear that he is a music lover and a vinyl lover who just likes talking about music. Eventually he helped me decide on a vintage German pressing of the Beatles’ Revolver album. The actual shop is a little small and a little hard to find the first time, but the EXCELLENT customer service makes both of those things not matter. And the selection they do have is pretty expansive for such a small shop. I will absolutely be going back there next time I’m in the area and picking up some vinyl for my own collection. Thanks Penny Lane!

Wow!
To hell with this place!
I just got accused of shoplifting by the owner because I didn’t say bye as I walked out! You were busy and I didn’t want to be rude! He stops me outside and says I have a pocket full of CDs! I then pulled my pockets inside out to show the asshole that I in fact had nothing in them!
To hell with you and this store!

Was surprised. All used. Found stuff at decent prices.
However, I didn’t find any bargains, as suspected rare titles are checked on eBay and priced on checkout. (Those items that don’t have tags are priced as you check out.)
You have to deliberately search this place out as it’s located in an industrial park – not a retail area. Worth a visit.

A good bargin record store. Vinyl, cds, tapes, dvds, and comic books. It’s small, but can’t beat the prices. You got to look through everything to see what you can find. Its a hit or miss, but they always have new stuff come through.

Very cool place. Steve and Kelly are knowlegable, warm and helpful. Great place for trading. Highy recommend.

Just got back from here, what a nice place. Small, but packed with lots of goodies, from cd’s to cassettes to 45s and 33s as well. The owner is very honest and straight up about prices and such. I will def be back.

This shop just had the enviable advantage of a front page article (albeit at the bottom) in the local newspapers the days leading up to Record Store Day (the day I went). The phone rang a dozen times while I was there (about an hour). Look the place up in your copious free time, the article (and the owner’s story) is pretty interesting. Here’s a guy that is obviously comfortable in his own skin, and has been doing this a while. He has 7,000 listings on Amazon (among other places), so the fact his place is hard to find is a non-​issue as he generally spends his time pricing items, listing them, selling them, and packaging/​shipping.
Finding the place isn’t hard with GPS, but it’s in an industrial complex with dozens of other offices in alike buildings, he’s just off 13^th, north a bit of the street (back of first row of offices), and on east side of his row (the most west of the groups, I believe). Suite 107.
Albums are all over the place, and he has a ton of cheap DVD’s and CD’s. There was also a special at the time; buy 8, get 2 free, or buy 12, get 4 free (of equal or lesser value, you know the drill).
Prices were a bit on the high side, but everything was clean, and with the discounts things are more palatable.
Lots of classic rock (many gems on the floor scattered amongst who knows what else). Stuff on the floor isn’t priced, and give yourself some time as if you show up with a big stack like I did, it could take some time while he decides what to price it at. This decision comes from a medley of Amazon and Discogs price-​checking he does on the spot (as do many shops now).
The sign out front says he buys stuff, but he indicated he’s only interested if it is something special and has collectible value, so no filler.
You will enjoy your time here, especially if you take a minute to talk. I left with about 15 records, 6 CD’s, and a DVD set of Millenium Season 1 for $ 100.

Loved it! It’s not the biggest place, but it’s items are great and some pretty rare. You can be looking for one thing and you find another item way better, it’s quite amazing. Saw some sick vinyls, DVDs, and CDs. The man at the cash register was very nice and cool :) Would recommend ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

Great selection! Friendly staff! Great prices!!! You couldn’t ask for anything more in a record store.

You never know what you’re going to find at this place. Every time I take in some old DVDs I end up leaving with nearly as many discs as I brought in. Good for hard to find items.
Customer service is outstanding. Owner always takes time to answer questions and makes me think I am a valuable customer.

I’m very happy i found this place because I was tired of going to rhino records. It’s about time I found a great record spot close to home. This place has a great selection and with fair prices. Plus tons of 45s. the guy who works here is super cool too so that’s a huge plus. I’m for sure going back again, and again.

I absolutely love this place. Great vinyl selection and nice prices. I will definitely be back.

On the back right side of first building in an Industrial center. Great dealer and great pricing. Went in to buy stickers. Didn’t find any but they did have Buttons, Rare imports, Graphic Novels, Movies, Blurays and Vinyl Records. Great pricing. Very fair. Also they have specials if you buy 8 CDs.

This shop is awesome. It’s small but it packs a punch. This shop carries Rare Vinyls, Cassettes, Cd’s, Dvd’s, Comic Books etc etc. The owner is really laid back also and definitely knows music, so don’t be afraid to ask him questions. As for the whole «put the record back where you found it», well isn’t that common sense with just about everywhere? You wouldn’t like people coming into your house and moving everything around where it doesn’t belong. I’ll definitely be back!

Good prices! Vinyl is starting to get popular again, So prices have been going up quite a bit at places i used to shop, but this place has a great selection and very competitive prices. I found my new record store!
