Yelp.com Review - by Jacob J.

3.0 of 5 stars. A day trippin to find Doris Day cd's also brought me in this direction but by the time I was near enough to visit, they were closed. A conversation by phone revealed that if I'd had more time to wait...

Yelp.com Review - by David G.

4.0 of 5 stars. Sadly, I rarely buy actual CDs anymore... but when I do, I go to Val's. The new location on Harrison doesn't have *quite* the same charm as her old place, but you know, it's not the location: it's the...

Yelp.com Review - by Bette M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm so bad.I finally dropped by the new location a couple of weeks ago, only to blow $55. I obtained some very difficult to find records, including an early pressing of John and Yoko's Some Time in...

5.0 of 5 stars. Love it - she is over on Harrison street now in the Art's District if you are tyring to find her. Great selection and very knowledgeable - spend your money here instead of Best Buy!

Yelp.com Review - by Ellen M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I was raised in a used bookstore, in an area where such a place can no longer possibly remain in business, so my love stems partly from that nostalgia.I nearly never find what I desperately want, but...

Yelp.com Review - by Lee C.

4.0 of 5 stars. Val's is unique. Their CD selection is not that great, and it's a little annoying to look at her selection through the locked case with arm holes. I've never found anything good in the used CD...

Yelp.com Review - by Emily M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've only been to the old location. I tried to go to the new location but she doesn't open up until 11 AM and I'm usually winding down at the time. I'm sure we'll make it, though.Let's face it,...

Yelp.com Review - by A.S. V.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is a classic old-school record shop that's been around for over 30 years. The CD selection is spotty at best, but its strength lies in the buried treasures (or perhaps staring down at you from...
