My favorite record shop in AZ! There is always great energy in the store, an outstanding selection with some rare gems, and awesome merch. I can always count on finding something great every time I stop by!

Very cute record and gift shop in downtown Tucson! Had some very fun and charming gifts for very affordable prices! Got some very cute chopstick pencils and some stickers. Definitely worth checking out while in Tuscon!

This is my favorite record store, period. It’s always an adventure when I go and I never leave empty handed - in fact, I’m lucky if I narrow down my choices to just one. My partner and I have found some of our favorite albums here, and the owners will never lead you wrong with their recommendations.
