2.0 of 5 stars. When I was younger this place was like the holy grail, but as I've gotten older music downloading has gotten easier and I've gotten into records over CDs, so this review is just about their record...

5.0 of 5 stars. Shake It has so much more than a great vinyl collection, and I always find myself sidetracked browsing through art and comic books when what I really came for is a record. If there is something you're...

3.0 of 5 stars. Too many hipsters. Everybody's Records is way better. That being said, I love my "Reading is Sexy" corn plastic mug I bought there.

5.0 of 5 stars. this is probably the best record store in the midwest. as a bonus, any touring band should definitely stop in, they'll buy your bands' cds off of you. money can be exchanged for goods and services.

Yelp.com Review - by Michael G.

5.0 of 5 stars. My first yelp review has to be for Shake It! Records because it is the best pound-for-pound record store in the country. Proprietors Jim and Darren Blase really know how to pack a lot of goodness into...

Yelp.com Review - by Dan J.

5.0 of 5 stars. Shake It Records is an independent record store right on Hamilton Ave. in Northside. Their main draw is the plethora of hard-to-find cd's and the stacks and stacks of vinyl in their stock. A music...

Very Cool Place by Adam H. at InsiderPages

They have any type of music you could ever want. It looks like an old run down place but the music selection is great. The owners of this business sponsored a little league baseball team and are very geneous.
