Want List Records

Great communication! Dave got in touch with me soon after I emailed. And Brian arrived on time to check out our record collection. We felt good about selling to him because he is very knowledgeable and truly appreciated our music. They also sell used music at reasonable prices . We liked their business ethics. You will too! 👍👍

Went today. Was greeted by the owner as I walked in. Great selection. Love getting the stool for the 5.00 vinyl Got a few unauthorized released I have never seen before. He asked my name when I left. Seems like no a big deal. But the owner actually cares about his clients. I’ll be back next month

I woke up in Belmont on my East Coast bicycle trip and decided to check if there are any record stores in the area. Little did I know this would end up being one of the highlights of my trip. The offer of great secondhand records was excellent. I look for punk and hardcore and found several 7"s here. What struck me is that several records had a note about their previous owner, which is a nice extra touch I have seldom encountered before. It immediately gives you the impression that people here care about records on another level. So not only I ended up leaving the store with hands full of 45s, but I also got a nice discount to boot. Long live Want List Records because I definitely want to go back to check their stacks.

Want List Records is an awesome addition to Belmont!💖 The owners purchase and sell a wide variety of albums & CDs, and they have turn tables so you can listen to them in the store too. Record shopping again was so much fun, & it feels warm & welcoming inside with the artist gallery too. Go visit!🎶💽🎶

Despite its smaller size and seemingly limited inventory there is tons of gems hidden throughout this place. Shockingly moderate pricing for consistently high condition inventory. Very friendly associate at the counter. Highly recommend

Brian has come to my home on several occasions to purchase records. He's always punctual, polite and knows his stuff. I recommend him highly!!

The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and the store has a great selection, especially of British and American 1960s-70s rock and punk at reasonable prices.

Great store, great owners, great new location (free street parking within 10 miles of Boston!?!?!). Brian and Dave are really friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all music genres. They have a well curated selection of quality used vinyl at very reasonable prices, and they're always restocking the bins and wall. I visit often and rarely do I leave without finding a couple of interesting LPs. Highly recommend checking them out!!

Amazing store. I am so glad Want List Records came to Belmont. I have been starting my vinyl collection, as well as buying CDs that I can rip to my collection. Great place to explore music if you are a music lover. Great addition to Belmont. They have a great selection of soul, reggae, Hip-Hop, Rock, and Jazz. And Brian and Dave are great!

Cool store for used (1970s & 1980s) records from the genres rock, jazz, rap, reggae, international. They have a record player for customers that want to listen before they buy. Careful selling records if you want a good deal. I personally lost money selling some of mine, but if you want to sell some records quick or trade them, it's a good place to do so. Prices are usually 15-25 dollars a pop, but some are cheaper than $10. Lots of 45s, too. Take what you want from this, but I think this is a good record store in general if you prefer smaller businesses.

Brian and Dave at "Want List Records" are both great guys. They have a deep affection for quality vinyl and it shows in how they run their business. This is not a place to go for "dollar bin" records but rather for a cleaned and curated quality selection. It's a small shop and they have limited hours but worth the effort to visit.

I love this record store - great selection, good conversation about music you love and music you didn't know about. Find a mint version of your old favorite and something great that just arrived. Nice vibe in a cool part of Belmont with a cafe a few steps away.

This is the record store I've been looking for in greater Boston. It's all used vinyl (as far as I could tell) and very well curated. The owners are kind and helpful, and they clearly have high standards for grading and selection. I really appreciated the bin of heavily used records by the entrance, where I found several excellent jazz albums at affordable prices. Plus, they have a turntable with headphones where you can audition albums before you buy -- something I haven't seen since Encore Records in Ann Arbor.
