Came up for a family visit. Decided while here to check out some local places to see what Cleveland had to offer for records.Separate Reality is far from reality. Good selection but most everything is in fair condition and everything is at the highest possible Discogs price point! Even where I live in near Washington DC is cheaper than here. No idea how in Cleveland area reality is gonna stay in business.

Great place for some rare finds. Definitely a place to go when you visit the Rock Hall.

This is one of those record stores that is worth traveling for. We were in Cleveland to visit the Rock Hall, and looked up a "Best Records in the US" list on Mental Floss. The records are fairly priced, especially for their condition, and their collection smacks of good taste, with an especially interesting soul section. This is a record store that someone who own 2K records will still find something they haven't seen before.

I wanted to sample an album or two to check for scratches before purchasing since I came such along way. The owner told me he'd rather not. I was blown away. I'm the CUSTOMER and I can't hear a record???? HE WAS PLAYING RECORDS ALREADY. After making my selections, I approach him respectfully and asked why he wouldn't play the record for me...he replied "unh cause its my store". Then he switched and said he thought I wanted to play it myself; why would I run the risk of damage the store equipment when he could just play it for me. I didnt buy that excuse because if he thought that he could've said "I will play it for you", correct? Oh well, I won't be back. By the way, after my purchase he replies "Oh I will play anything you wanna hear"....shouldn't he have said that when he THOUGHT I wanted to play it myself. Anyways, good customer service is a lost art. I will "separate" myself from this establishment.

Great record store. Lots of selections at good prices. Super cool art on the walls. Nice owner. Definitely worth a visit.

Called multiple times during store hours and was sent to voicemail. Finally got on the phone to see if they were open and was hung up on immediately after I was told that they're not open. Clearly not the first review with this problem. Disrespectful and disappointing.

One of the best collections of vinyl I’ve ever seen. I saw some LPs here I never expected to find in person. The prices are fair — if you like to loot bins and find a steal, you won’t get that here. Great staff that will let you peruse.

A great selection but horribly overpriced. I rarely walk out of a record store without buying something. Sorry.

So on vacation here in Cleveland and being a vinyl junkie I had to find some shops! A Separate Reality was the first spot I hit and was blown away at the selection!! I hit a few others but none compared! The owner was SUPER cool and had excellent taste in music! Not to mention I scored a 1st press of Slayer's South Of Heaven!! A record ive been looking for for a year now!! Id give this place 100 stars if I could!!! If your ever in the Cleveland area Id definitely recomend A Separate Reality!! You wont regret it!!

I'm visiting Cleveland from out of state and wanted to hit up record stores while in the area. Attempted to shop here two days in a row, both times were during posted business hours, and both times lights out, doors locked. Multiple reviews mention this. Maybe don't even both having a store if you don't want people to buy your records. What a waste of time.
