I have not been here yet, but I plan to soon. From what I have seen, following the owner on FB and paying attention to the New Arrivals and quality of obscure vinyl, I'm sure this is a 5 Star establishment.
My favorite record store in the city, hands down. Truly the perfect hole-in-the-wall vinyl shop. Giant bin of great 50¢ records out on the sidewalk? Check. Two listening stations in the front window where you can listen to whatever you want (even if they're 50¢)? Check. Awesome music playing? Check. A crate of $3-ish classic rock treasures? A rack of 50¢ tapes? A box of obscure local stuff? Wall of awesome refurbished speakers & stereos? Owned by good folks? Checkity check check.
Came in looking for stereo equipment and left happily with a receiver and pair of speakers. Aaron was patient and helpful answering my questions and offering advice. Music playing in house was great. Nice shop
I easily spent over an hour and a half in this store, and I found it difficult to leave. Probably the coolest thing here was that the owner had specifically set aside a bin called "Choice Cheaps," where he had combed through the discount records himself and compiled a collection of great releases under $5 a piece. I've never seen anything like this in any store and it really demonstrates Clinton Street's commitment to quality.
I'm actually glad this place doesn't exist back home because I would probably be living in a storage unit with a hoard of records, as I would spend every last cent of my paycheck on this place.
Enjoy yourself, but use caution, this place is addicting!
Visited this place last weekend specifically looking for House and Techno music and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. I will say that many of the releases here can get a bit pricy, but if you check out their listings on Discogs, I'm sure you'll find that this store is very in line with market demand, and often cheaper (e.g. I was able to grab a copy of Benedek's Coolin' for only $18!).
Small obscure records. Don't go if your looking for lastest performers. A little hipster for my liking. Store worker was great really knowledgeable and has an awesome dog.
