Big Dig Records

Cool place, solid selection. Unpretentious and unassuming, chill vibes, with great music playing while you shop. Prices were affordable and fair and I had some great pulls from the punk bin. I appreciated the dedicated Rockabilly bin. Staff were nice, attentive without being overbearing: sometimes just a nod or eye contact as someone walks in is enough to say “I see you, I work here, let me know if you need help. Like this place a lot and will come back next time I’m around Cambridge.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can You Dig It? I Can Dig It. Big Dig Records is a Cambridge gem. The owners are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about music and community. Most days, you’ll even find free records, tapes, or cool vintage odds and ends out front. It’s a vibe, a treasure hunt, and a conversation all in one place. Dig deep — it’s worth it.

The best record store in the Boston area by FAR. The selection is amazing, the prices are better than anywhere else, and the atmosphere is the best I’ve ever experienced in a record store. The owners are super chill and friendly and really make the place special. For Vinyl, CDs, Cassettes, and even 8 track tapes, there is no better place. If you haven’t been to Big Dig you need to go!!

Love Big Dig Records. Huge selection of a variety of styles and genres. Prices are fair. And they also have a very large bargain selection beneath the main selection of used and new records. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. One of my favorite record stores in the Boston area.

A "small" record shop that actually feels much bigger. The name is appropriate-- there is much to dig through here. Prices are very reasonable and condition is general very good to excellent. Have only been here a couple of times but have had some great finds and will most definitely be back to look for more.

Awesome shop, and probably the most organized record store I've been too. Hit records have their own labels and everything else is very well alphabetized. And they have a t-shirt bin with authentically retro tees.

A great place with a wide array of media! Was able to find a large selection of cassettes and vinyls to choose from, and was even able to get a decent in-store credit for some vinyl collections I didn’t need anymore. They were honest, helpful, laid back, and professional during my visit, and I’ll definitely be back in the future!

Great store! I enjoyed digging around the bins, reliving my college years, and found a few vinyl gems, not to mention a great SACD and a couple of vintage blank cassettes (real CrO2!). Their stuff is in good shape, very clean, well organized and curated, and fairly priced (seemed to be at the low end of Discogs or even below). The guys there were super nice, too. Check them out.

Great new-ish shop in North Cambridge. Nice vibe, good selection, great staff. Most certainly worth a visit.
