Want List Records

I’m very happy that I finally made it to this wonderful record store - excellent selection, organized well, and all around great vibes! Can’t wait to visit again!

Want List Records is a true gem in the local vinyl community! Brian and Dave are incredibly welcoming, and the shop genuinely reflects their passion for music. Highly recommend stopping by to explore their thoughtfully curated selection, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to!

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!🎶💽🎶

Times like this, I wish there were a 6th star. Although I've only been to this establishment twice, my experience each time has been outstanding. All thanks to Brian, one of the two owners. He's helped me both times. Since childhood one of my many unaccomplished life goals has been to own a used record store. As music, especially live or 2nd best, listened to on vinyl has always been one of my great interests/passions. All that to say, if I ever was to own a used record store, I would model it after Want List Records . Then I would run that shop much like Brian & Dave run theirs. As the old adage goes, "Good things come in small packages." For all you vinyl-heads, this place is a REAL gem.

I’m very happy with my order from Want List Records. They were very helpful with some questions I had. They packed my shipment very well and it arrived safe and sound. Thank you guys!

My favorite type of used record store: well-curated, multiple genres, careful to note condition of their stock, and friendly owners. Every visit here, I find great stuff to take home. They get my highest recommendation.

These guys are great! When business owners are passionate about what they do, their enthusiasm is infectious and it makes transactions much more pleasurable. If you love vinyl, check out this store!

One of the best record shops! So many great finds for jazz and beyond. Highly curated selection and records are in great condition. This place is a gem

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.
