Graveface Records & Curiosities

Stopped by on my walk home from dinner because i heard the music from the street and could feel the aura while walking up to it. Friendly surface and great variety of records. I picked up a Tyler The Creator vinyl and also a really cool sticker. The inside was a bit dusty and old but, like i said it added the ambiance of the store. Cool place to check out if you into record shops.

I go here frequently and always find something new. Great selection, they support local artists, have locations at the Oglethorpe mall and a museum by the river. The shop next door with the arcade is also theirs, very cool as well. Love the taxidermy. Always a really cool person behind the counter.

Absolutely LOVED this place! My family and I just went on a vacation to Savannah, GA and happened to look up "Record Stores Near Me" and came across this lovely place! I went in expecting just to flip through some records while my wife and son stood bored next to me. Not the case! I DID do a lot of hunting through the treasure trove of vinyl but my family loved being there! They looked at all the cool stuff on the walls and played pinball in the back while I searched. I ended up walking out with 2 records that were recommended to me by the gentlemen working that day. I didn't catch their names but they were fantastic! They answered my questions about the record that was playing when I walked in, put on another one that I might like (I ended up purchasing Nothing "Guilty Of Everything") and suggested another one that I could possibly enjoy since I liked the last one so much (Full Of Hell & Nothing "When No Birds Sang"). I ended up walking out with that record as well without even listening to it. It was a phenomenal experience and I will shout this stores praises from the rooftops. 5 Stars hands down!

Great guys and suuuper friendly. I just really wish everything wasn't a sealed repress and they had a better used selection. Not much for reggae or jazz, but worth stopping by

Awesome record selection! We were recommended to this store from a guy at a bookstore, he was telling us they had a true crime book selection there. There were a few books but not what we were looking for. The records here though are amazing. So much to look at, very organized, and the guy working was super nice. They had a few games and movies. Parking was good, not so busy when we went. Overall great store, I highly recommend everyone go here at least once.

I was in town and hoping to find great used records, and while the customer service was fantastic, I was disappointed by the limited inventory on quality used records and the odd atmosphere. The staff member was friendly and helpful, but the selection didn't meet my expectations. The taxidermy and overall vibe of the shop didn't resonate with me either. I suggest the store expands their inventory and improves the ambiance to better cater to music enthusiasts.

So this review is for the overall "graveface" company... you guys are amazing, keep doing what you do. Just found out you have a location in the forsaken mall and now the mall has you and a candy store😂😂, finally! My daughter loves her shirt, tote, pin we got at the mall! Amazing! And the female that helped us out!, she's a doll and a keeper. Amazing lady!

Didn’t really have any of the records I was looking for, but they had a super unique and interesting collection of smaller artists and indie music. Some really cool independent pressings and tapes as well. Bought a couple T-shirts and a Parquet Courts record I’d never heard before. Really great prices too.

This is one kooky store. Creepy store with a great selection and the guy that worked there was AMAZING so informative. Will definitely return again.

John is the man! So pleasant, informed, and professional! Thank you! First time in the store. Reputation precedes itself. Quite a visual experience. Vinyl galore! Can't wait to return. Thank you again!

Excellent sores for classic records of any genre. Lots of cool novelties. Definitely worth a stop by when you're walking around the starland District

I just sold my entire collection of Jazz, Heavy metal, Hard rock, blues , and bootlegs on ebay...and this place sorta made me wish I hadn't....sigh. Graveface records is an awesome record store with a good selection of new and used vinyl. I found plenty of 80s hair metal and heavy metal ala Metallica etc. But there is something for everyone. Great help. Cool pinball machines in the back.

Traveled to Savannah for work and knew I had to stop at Graveface! Greta was a huge help and I grabbed a few LPs just before closing! I hope to be back to really take it all in! What a selection!

This place RULES! I picked up an Atrocious Madness LP I've been hunting for. Miguel is super nice, and has good suggestions. Totally going to rock this joint again next time I'm in Savannah. They have a nice collection of guitar pedals, shirts, and an extensive collection of great used wax. I totally follow the store/label's Bandcamp. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great choose of rock, metal and punk both new and used. Check out the new arrives bin and the cheap bins for treasures. Good prices and cool staff!

Love the vibe! Love the taxidermy! Stoked to find a local record shop during my visit to Savannah. Really friendly service and stoked to take home my new vinyl and stickers!!

Visiting from Orlando, came to see some art exhibits at the Jepsen, but they were closed all week due to A/C issues; oddly enough still got my art fix from the Gacy collection. Pretty cool spot and meticulously curated, there is a lot of content here if you take time time to immerse yourself and read all the captions.

As I was searching for fun things to do in Savannah, this place popped up as a must visit. As an avid vinyl collector, I added it to the list. Graveface Records is located near the Starland District of Savannah. They have a wide variety of vinyl records, new and used. They have bargain bins outside that were only $1 for a record. Inside the many shelves hold everything from metal, rock, rap, country, jazz and everything in-between. We scoped things our for a little bit. I had a few titles in my head that I wanted to check for but didn't find them. I did end up finding a Burzum record that I was pretty happy to snag. The store is decorated with all kinds of cool and funky items. They even have a museum down in the Water Street district. Go buy some records!

This place is awesome and refreshing. Grabbed a couple of records while there and found out about a new artist they were playing.

Great store worth a visit if you like well curated vinyl and unique curio scenery! Picked up a few titles that I've rarely seen before, very happy!

go here it's scary and has vinyl + lots of gore and murder and super cooil acid bath juice pouch thing

Always throwing great festivals and markets in Savannah. Found a few original records here and I never have enough money to buy everything I want!! The clerks are super friendly and knowledgeable!

This place is dangerous in a good way! Great selection of music and lighter in the pocket for it. Also went to museum by the river and it was amazing. Will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Really creepy not good for kids. Smells like cigarettes, guy working was friendly that's the only good that I have to say about this place.

When it comes to record stores, it's hard to find one that fits your personality. Graveface is my kinda place. Not only do they cover all there, rock, metal, grunge and punk but toss in a little jazz. These are just my preferences. They may not be everyone's cup of tea. It warms my heart to see bands like "F*cked Up", "Minutemen" and "Louis Armstrong" in the same stop. The big bonus about this place is that it also serves as a kitsch and creep mecca. There are cool creepy mask about the shop. Also there's a pretty rad arcade in the back with games like "Mortal Kombat" and "Victory Road". And plenty of taxidermy which adds to the spooky factor. They have a super cool jukebox that you can ask for quarters at the counter to play something. This jukebox is surrounded by clown kitsch. And on top of all this you can still take some nostalgia home with you. I couldn't help myself but snag a "Garbage Pail Kids" button. And at the front by the register there was some eerie and unique pins from "Cellar Dweller". She also made the clown and witch mouse taxidermy. I'm pretty sure the clown is Gacey inspired too. I had to snag a witch mask enamel pin. This place really rulez. I didn't get any coffee that was mentioned in the previous review. But I did see the guy from the shop at "Back in the Day Bakery" snagging coffee the next day. So maybe get coffee there and get records and knick knacks at Graveface. Wish I could have taken that mouse coven home with me and the Ella and Louis record.

This place is INSANE!! It is described as a collection of morbid curiosities, bizarre objects, and retro pinball machines. It is so much more. If you are into true crime or horror this is a must see museum. There are exhibitions ranging from shrunken heads taken from old circus "freak" shows, a room with UFO materials, and rooms relating to true crime. One of the creepiest sections is the one dedicated to Charles Manson, and has letters, drawings and other artifacts from him. There is also a whole room dedicated to paintings by Pogo the murdering clown. The old pinball machines were awesome to play, and free with a ticket to the museum.

The novelty of record stores lie in their homage to the past. Walking into Graveface is like dipping your toes in a classic, thrash horror film. Obviously, you won't be kicking and screaming, but they've cultivated their brand from what they love. This was my second time visiting this gem. I searched for close to an hour, although it could've easily been two. I walked out with Alice in Chains Unplugged, a super important record in my musical life. I'm fascinated by their stock of live albums, from Neil Young to Bob Dylan to Iggy Pop, you'll find live albums you simply cannot find elsewhere. Other things to know: free coffee for all shoppers, a $20 for $30 Yelp deal (which you need to take advantage of), tons of classic arcade games in the back of the store, and huge selection of new/used, classic rock, indie/alternative, hip hop/rap, metal, punk and soundtrack. Ask for Ian, he's informative as all hell. I absolutely love this shop. Especially since one of my go-to shops in my hometown just closed down, I'm more appreciative for locally owned record stores every day. Until next time!

This was one of my favorite places when we visited Savannah! So many record to peruse as well as other interesting items. We bought a few records while we were there! I'll be visiting again when we take another trip to Savannah.

Awesome record store with really cool and funky finds. Staff is really nice, cool, and helpful. Second time visiting in recent years, and would definitely come by anytime I'm in town again.

Nice store. I like old records mostly, but I like oddities and vintage pieces, too. Looks like they buy record collections frequently, can't wait to see what Gems will be for sale in the near future.

Great shop! Graveface has done a great job a curating an interesting assortment of records that is quite different from most others. Located a little off the beat and path in Savannah there is a lot of close Bu parking on and near the quite street. Inside the shop is of fairly good size with new arrivals right up front for the regulars to sift through. They stocked both new releases and used titles with pricing right in line to slightly under the norm which is a great thing for their customers. For me, the selection of titles is what sets graveface apart from the competition. They have their own record label and carry titles in stock. As a fan of shoegaze, it was a unique experience to find everything from Ride to My Bloody Valentine to Slowdive. My challenge as a shopper was understanding the cataloguing of the records as I found the same band in a couple of different places. It's all good if you're able to dig through the entire store, but I only had a short amount of time so I feel like I may have missed some titles. I asked about a couple of artists to the clerk to which I was told they had nothing only to find a few 7" hidden. I know it's a bit nit picky but organization and knowing your stock is tantamount to building a business. Either way, I would definitely recommend stopping in and having a look. There are other oddities as well so if that's your thing than you may be pleased as well...

This. Place. Is. Awesome. Love the one at river street. So glad we went to this one further away from crowds. Great record selection. Dude working was pretty cool. Decent prices. Def will go back again and again- great place for records.

We stumbled on this gem by chance, as it didn't have much signage, but we are so happy we found it. The "yes we are open" sign is actually what we saw and then figured out it was an oddities museum. The museum had serval pieces from famous serial killers and cults (Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Peoples Temple/Jonestown, Aileen Wuornos, Heavens Gate, etc). Also oddities and creepy things like shrunken heads, clown memorabilia, alien encounter info. I didn't spend any time in the pinball room, but it was available had I chose to. The worker and owner both wore masks and were knowledgeable and very willing to answer questions.

Cruise was helping me and my boyfriend and provided us with some great recommendations for music spots, dive bars, and local knowledge. Super groovy merch and patches as well. Vinyl sections were great and left more than satisfied with my purchases. A must go!

I really loved the store's look and feel and it had some of the most unique and cool items I've ever seen. However, I have to take it down a point for one frankly bizarre interaction I had. I found something I wanted to purchase and it didn't have a "Not For Sale" sign or anything on it. I went to the register and asked how much this particular item was and the shopkeep answered, "Hmmm, I'm not sure. I really like it. I think I wanna keep it for a while." Undeterred, I explained that I was really interested in this piece of merchandise. He said, "You'll be back." Now, here is where I said I was visiting from Minnesota. He said, "You'll still be back. Everyone comes back here." Now, he's not exactly wrong. I would love to come back here if I am ever in Savannah again. But in that time, I *guarantee* someone else will already have purchased this cool thing I really liked. And that disappointed me a lot. And that's the story of why a store I really like and continue to root for wound up with only 3 stars for my review.

I've been patronizing this establishment now for awhile. I'll show up weekly and there's always some quality "new" selections that have shown up the week before. I like the owner..Hes super engaging and will take your email down and locate anything you might be looking for. Every genre you can think of..my OCD thanks him for the Clear Separation of different types of music..or even movies on Laser disks.. tons of stuff for a real music nerd to spend hours crawling through.. They're practically GIVING AWAY albums outside... hundreds of $5 (might be less!! just ask) records that didn't meet the quality for sale inside the store.. Not necessarily somewhere if you're looking for "valuable Vinyl Collectables" to be showcased on display in the store. However, he has these, too. Just ask. But for the rest of us looking for High Grade vinyl to LISTEN to... ...this place fits the bill! Nothing against the (small selection of) competitors in town but this joint is my favorite. Just saying.

Very different and unusual items. Great hidden gem and loved the pinball games. $20 ticket price is a bit pricey.

Awesome selection. Really cool free play arcade. I still remember Scorpions fatality.

So fucking great! Best collection I've seen in a long time - and I go to stores all over the country. Also, great service. They employees helped me find some records I've been looking for and suggested some artists based on my choices. Their newer albums range from $22-$35 and used albums are as low as $2! I spent way too much money but I'm pleased with my purchases. Definitely recommend!

I have a teenage metal head who was scoping for Metallica albums which he was able to score but we also ventured into the oddity shop next door and it's like a train wreck that you can't look away from. Animal skulls, taxidermy, animal bodies in jars, a most excellent horror movie collection. Bonus- my inner true crime geek went a little nuts over the John Wayne Gacy and Charles Manson drawings.

This shop is entirely unique. It is the perfect balance of goofy, spooky treasure hunting. The layout is easy to navigate and the decor is like hanging out in the coolest creepy basement the 1990's have ever seen. All too often, record stores seem to be plagued by a stuffy atmosphere and pretentious employees. Graveface is NOT that place. Laid back, fascinating merch and decor, and genuinely friendly guy working the counter. We enjoyed this place so much that we came back the next day to buy more goodies! This place is ideal for anyone looking for a great record, a Freddy Krueger action figure, or a book about UFOs.

If you're going to or even passing through Savannah, stop at Graveface Records! You will not be disappointed. We made it a point to stop, even after a long road trip. There is literally something there that everyone could enjoy. They have books, clothing, arcade games, curiosities (of course) and records. An especially amazing collection of vinyl. There were so many interesting pieces I wanted to take home, but I ended up leaving with Iron Maiden, The White Stripes and Brian Posehn. I'll definitely be back to add to my collection next time I'm in Savannah!

I had planned to stop at a number of record stores as I made my way south on the Atlantic route to Florida on I-95 this season, but as it turned out, Graveface was the only one I actually did make. I learned a little about Savannah itself as part of making my way to this shop as it is well outside the established tourist route. Once inside, I engaged the young record seller who was on duty, and made my way to the used bins on the floor by the counter. I quickly found a number of $2-$3 soul and reggae records once owned by "Sonny" (he'd made sure no one was going to walk off with his LPs by marking his name on them). Nonetheless, Sonny's records weren't in bad shape despite being a bit dusty, so I overlooked the personalized labeling and wondered where Sonny is today...if he is with us on this Earth still. Part of the charm of old LPs to some extent. Eventually, I made my way into more expensive fare (but not too expensive because this is one of the most reasonably priced shops I've entered in 2014). Graveface has very decent electronica, reggae, hip hop, jazz, and soul sections and I found a little bit in each to add to my stack. Finally, I made my way to a section called "Psych/Pop" and hit a goldmine of reasonably priced new records that are actually hard to find if you expect not to order them online (which I try not to do). For example, I found several rarer Guerssen Records (a Spanish/German reissue label) reissues of American psych bands of the late 60s/70s. These are well made European records and always a pleasure to own. By the end of my digging, the owner had arrived behind his counter, and I had tallied quite a stack that ultimately resulted in a purchase of nearly $300. I was surprised (and maybe a bit put off) by the owner's failure to offer me a discount on the basis of such a large haul but I feel that his prices were already evident of the small business' need for cold hard cash and I respected that right off. Still, Graveface is the first record seller in the entire USA who hasn't offered at least a 10% discount to sweeten the deal for a serious purchase of this sort. I believe this was due to having been marked as a tourist. Maybe? I was offered a tote bag or t-shirt and I wound up with two totes so the proprietor tacitly acknowledged the significance of my patronage. I laughed all this off once I realized that my Yelp checkin at the start had resulted in a 10% discount offer and I had just failed to notice it! I won't make that mistake again. Certainly, I would encourage any big time buyer to make a stop at Graveface and to press their advantage by asking for a discount up front for large purchases, but in any case you will be getting a very fair deal from a shop that clearly knows what vinyl record collecting is all about. All said, this is one of the most well-curated vinyl record shops I've found in my recent travels. Highly recommended!

Great vibes! Workers are super chill. Tons of records from a variety of genres and artists at pretty fair prices. Dangerous place for your wallet if you're into vinyl.

Very cool shop. Much more than just records. The staff was very friendly. Pretty good selection too

Super unique storefront and vibe, tons of vinyls/CDs/Cassettes, and has some dope stickers/pins/patches/toys. The three star rating is because it was pretty, and i mean extraaa, cluttered and hard to distinguish what was and was not for sale, and even just the general pricing of things. Some items that i was super interested in, didnt have any tag at all, but was placed with multiples of the item which would make me think its for sale. Even some of the vinyls and cds didnt have prices. It was also a bit awkward as the two/possibly even 3?? workers there lingered around and kept starring. The music was dope, but overwhelmingly loud, which made it somewhat difficult to focus and really take in what i was reading and looking at. This store is definitely more for music lovers, than if youre looking for oddities/curiosities. We didnt have time to check out the museum, but that seems to overall have more of the oddities and curiosities we were interested in. I will say, the mystery cd bundle is absolutely worth the buy. We will definitely have to come back to see the museum sometime

If you're into weird and local-this is your spot. The shop is full of crates of music from various genres of music. Including a table of local music and music put out by the Graveface label themselves. The shop is full of oddities from taxidermy to paintings by John Wayne Gacy. The owner and other employees are always very helpful and we never leave empty handed. It's on our 'must stop' list every time we visit SAV!

Cool, unusual place away from the more touristy places further downtown. Packed with character and creepy things at extremely reasonable prices- again, especially compared to other stores downtown. Would def recommend.

Really cool atmosphere! Many interesting items and curiosities to look at! Also if you're into vinyl music, this store has a HUGE selection of records to choose from! I could spend hours flipping through records here and just taking in the vibe of this place! If you're in Savannah visiting, or if you're local I definitely recommend you check this cool little place out!

Loved the selection of oddball horror movie stuff and weird records. Friendly staff and they were playing a record of oboe music which I really enjoy. Easy to find and very organized. My only regret - I bought a used surf music record and there was a different record in the sleeve! It was bluegrass! I can't stand bluegrass. But, it was my fault. I should have checked when I was paying for it!

Not only do I always find great musical gems and interesting novelties (mostly mummified cat, anyone?), but I truly appreciate the effort and commitment of the owner of this joint to make a positive contribution to the Savannah community. They have a select collection of records whose sales benefit non-profits in the Savannah area. Savannah has so much potential to be a fantastic place for artists and other creative-types, and Graveface is helping create a sense of community by actively trying to make Savannah a better place to work and live, in addition to having some really cool stuff! Only complaint is I bought a record from the actual Graveface label (Whirr, whatup) and the MP3 download didn't work and they never answered my email about it. :(

Graveface is a really cool record shop. Every time I'm in a new town, I always try and hit at least one record store so I can get exposure to some new inventory. The first thing that struck me is how much other cool stuff there was in the place besides records. There are all kinds of items from tee shirts to arcade games to novelty items. As far as records go, they have a great selection of new and used vinyl, and the prices were very reasonable. I walked out with four records and a smile on my face. The next time I'm in Savannah, I'll definitely be returning.

I search out record stores in every town I visit. This one has a good layout and many interesting curiosities but not a whole lot in the way of used vinyl. There are racks and racks of vinyl however, and there is a decent selection but most of it is new shrink wrapped $ 22-35 records. I don't usually look for new vinyl I can order cheaper when I crate dig but if they don't have a lot of trade ins they can't easily change that.

This place is charming and has a huge selection. I took my parents and they enjoyed searching through the treasures as well. Staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent customer service. Thank you!

Location: 0/5, you will be harassed just outside of this establishment by the homeless, the angry, and the plain scary. Once inside, you're safe, but prepare to park VERY CLOSE as you do not want to walk even a block around here. Cleanliness: 3/5, it is as clean as antique and voyage can get, but most of the animal bones and skulls still have flesh on them and reek. Once after buying a skull and taking it home, I found a rusty razor blade at the bottom of the bag Products: 5/5, always changing inventory. Keeps things interesting. If you can't stomach Taxidermy, do not come here. Records and skulls. Pretty much all you'll see here and it is wonderful. Staff: 3/5, sometimes you'll get someone incredibly friendly and chipper, otherwise it's a silent man. Expect only one person running the store at a time, so if he is chatting with a customer and you have a question, you'll be waiting for a bit. Cost: 3/5, some things are heap as dirt, others are inflated. Example: clean, gorgeous blesbok skull: $70. Great price. Then you get a chipmunk skull for just under $20. Doesn't make much sense, but oh well.

Great spot with an ever changing selection. Be sure to check out the lapel pins when you check out!

Awesome place. Lots of different records,tapes. Rarities that are not a usual find. Thank you for the free cassette.

One of those stores that resist categorization. However, it is record store with 2D art and outrageous wall art ranging from taxidermy to bizarre masks over mannequins (Look for the tele tubby). Something for everyone here ranging from candy, playing cards, books, and aromatics. What won me over was the acoustic set with Train Wreck. A gem and truly unique experience. In the day time you can stop by the cute bakery on the corner.
