Yelp.com Review - by Michael B.

5.0 of 5 stars. The Mecca, maybe the best record store on the east coast. The place oozes coolness but everyone working there is ultra friendly. You will lost 2 hours of your life in this place. Amazing!

5.0 of 5 stars. I just love to come in here and browse. You can find pretty much anything you want here for decent prices. Just stop by, browse, listen to some music, it's overall a great experience.

Yelp.com Review - by Josh F.

5.0 of 5 stars. The best in Baltimore. Far superior to anything Washington, D.C. has to offer either. Good sized used section, stock recycles well, carries obscure titles, and wins hands down on staff snarkiness.
