tripadvisorI was on a mission to find a few vinyl classics that a family member wanted but the store didn't have them. There's a great selection but it's hit or miss -- a lot of the more sought-after records go quick! Nice customer service, very colorful atmosphere. I'd go back when I have more time to browse.
MoreJam-packed with vinyl, old videotapes, and cassette tapes, an eclectic array ranging from music and film to Jungian psychology lectures. An enticing rabbit hole in downtown Portland.
MoreI can't even call the business.I s it openIt's saying it's disconnected.No forward number. Search several ways to get in touch with this business to no avail.
MoreI was visiting town from Berlin and I noticed all the record stores and second hand stores on the main street, and they all kinda look the same. Then I saw this place and in two words, packed all the magic needed. This is the town where Stephen King was born, I gotta get me some Strange Maine! These people are not playing a part they are genuine music lovers, with an extensive knowledge of any genre, a big heart and offer you an extensive collection of records you won't find anywhere else. Before the internet was a thing there were places like this and sure you could probably find a lot of these things on Ebay but what you won't find is the guidance to understand which things are going to show you the rainbow of oddities that is American pop culture. Let your guard down and let these people be your guides.
