    Are you looking for vinyl, tees & turntables in a old school record store with a music lover's vibe? If so, you must go! They offer a diverse selection of new & used records, CDs, cassettes and more.

    Best selection of CDs, vinyl, culture magazines, comics, vinyl collectable toys, and unique books. The staff is always really helpful and friendly. I buy my Slingshot planner/organizer every year.

    Such a rad comic store and record shop. They have some wonderful discounts not trade paper backs which was nice to see. Also in a really cool neighborhood.

    The record store - a dying breed - particularly in Atlanta. These guys know, appreciate and support music, especially local. And so should you!

    Look through Brian Poust and Kurt Wood bins. They have great 45s for you to find. And you're supporting really nice people too.

    The one and only store in Atlanta that has a "Metal" selection. You can find new metal CD's at this store, as well as rare vinyls, toys, and occasionally bands play right in the store.

    Floppy-haired bassists, bookish local scribes, and comic enthusiasts come together at this rockin’ record shop, where listening parties, author readings, and graphic novel debuts are de rigeur.

    The 50% discount check-in special is totally false. Went to check out with valid purchases and was told they wouldn't honor it during weekends. Only thing criminal here are the prices.
