Originally only 600 square feet, situated in a quintessential historic brick and mortar storefront, the business has since expanded to more comfortable quarters in the same building – the Governor Building. Our stock consists of new and used records, cds and cassettes representing many genres, including rock (classic and current), punk, metal, rap, 60s, 50s, soul & funk, jazz, blues, reggae, ska,

surf, rockabilly and more. We endeavor to carry the best titles available to us and strive to constantly improve our stock. In addition, we have a HUGE selection of music-related T-Shirts, including many classic rock, metal, punk, reggae and rap shirts. New shipments arrive frequently, providing a good selection of new shirts and restocks of old favorites.

- LPS, CDs, 45s, Cassettes and 78s!
- New Releases, Back Catalog and Used
- Awesome selection of Music T-Shirts
