Oh the gems I've found in here! Well curated shop with friendly and knowledgeable owner/employees. Always a fun experience with reasonable pricing. If you appreciate finding rarities in the wild rather than online as I do then this is the place for you!

Wow!! The most amazing collection of punk and dark/gothic records ever!!!! To see Siouxsie and the Banshees vinyl in the wild, just unbelievable. A very well curated seleccion. Most Japanese imports but who cares! I didn't even get to the jazz area as I was in a rush.
