Finally got a chance to stop by this place in person after ordering something online. It gets a 5/5 from me. I liked the selection and the prices. Even beyond that, I appreciated how really well organized it is. I'm an aging Gen X'r with bad knees and a lot of stores will put stock on the floor, which makes it harder for me to see. But there was a well organized set of bins all the way around the perimeter of the store plus displays on the wall and behind the bins....really easy to see. So it made looking for stuff easy. Note: I'm a collector looking more for new vinyl and represses these days so not a big used vinyl customer. This place has some used but definitely has more new stuff, if that matters to you. Also, parking is pretty limited. Will be back for sure!

From really popular Bands/Artists to really underground ones. They have a really great selection whether you're into country or classical to heavy metal and grindcore. I always have a great experience when I'm there. I'm a younger costumer and they don't treat me any less than they do their older ones. Very respectful people :)

Really cool variations of music and mediums in this place. A must to visit if you are nearby. Cruise through to be nostalgic or pick up anything from yesterdays to todays hits.

Quite the iconic record shop. They always have the most obscure CD's and records, everything that I'm looking for. Sick accessories too. The crew running the shop knows like every band and song ever produced lmao its wild.

Lou's is great... always a great selection. If they don't have they'll do their best to get it for you. New or used, this is the place!

Been visiting this shop a long, long time. Not as great of a used, original vinyl selection as they once had but can find the modern vinyl from just about any artist. Plenty of used cd's which are still a fun item. If you're into music they are worth the visit. I never leave empty handed.
