This is a small but very well-curated record store in Beacon Hill. I found some really unusual things and some I had searched for years. Easiest parking is over by the capitol building. I will visit again when in Boston.

Great selection considering how compact the store is. Found a great mix of well known classics for reasonable prices and rare finds. The only place I’ve seen in a long time have Abbey Road and other Beatles records for under $25. It’s nice to have a place that’s curated well with prices you can walk away feeling satisfied with!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Insanely good record store, it has an amazing little international section where I found some great rare titles. I am going to make it required that I stop here anytime I’m in Boston. Prices are amazing and mostly below Discogs. I don’t understand how you can have such a great collection of records for sale and at great prices. It’s outstanding.

A pleasant surprise on a recent trip to Boston. Well curated collection with some serious grails in the mix. Worth a visit.

Great selection of music on a great aesthetic proposal inside a great neighborhood, this place can’t go wrong. Awesome selection of rares, jazz and hip hop, quite unexpected and hard to find. Good service and pricing can vary on the rarity of the items!

The more mainstream rock/pop section of this store is always exceptionally stocked with nothing but straight fire, and yet always walk out with the most niche albums I've never heard of. The vastness of their music collection set up is ELITE.

Part of a trifecta of awesomely interesting and excessively curated but unfussy record stores I love in Boston (+Good Taste in the North End for electronic, Soundtracks in Beverly for soundtracks). Great friendly service, too — had 3 records from Central Asia, how cool is that?

Simply, one of the best record stores I've ever been to. The whole selection is beautifully curated, with tons of intriguing obscurities. Even the most knowledgeable music veteran will find records here that will stump them. Not only that, but everything is extremely fairly priced. This is a record store for big music fans of most all genres. By the end of my search through the stacks, I had about sixty records I needed to winnow down from. The people who work here are super great as well. If you're in Boston and you only have time to visit one record store, go here if you like being surprised.
