Vintage Vinyl
While Echoes From the Past may be known for their extensive specialty collections, they also have a lot of, to put it simply, other stuff. Perhaps the most notable (or...
Just there from Virginia. More 45s than the store in Virginia where I shop. The owner says upfront: 5 dollars for 45s and 8 dollars for LPs, unless obviously should be priced higher. Has not changed the price since opening the store in 1991. Was amazed at the number of some artists he has. I have tons of Pat …
Ok, so the place is very cluttered and overstocked, and the location isn't the greatest if you are driving (parking meters) and sure, the owner tends to talk a bit much if he likes you, but overall the good outweighs the annoying. As the last fellow said, lots of genres covered; you just never know what you will uncover...be sure and bring a lunch with you, for you'll definetly be hunting a good while. The amount of treasures i've already exhumed keep me coming back again and again, and the owner does indeed get new stock all the time, plus he's reasonable regarding prices and...
Highly recommended. A true vinyl conisseurs choice.
I visited this place not sure what to expect (partly based on the other reviews).
The reality is an absolute gold mine. There is a massive amount of stock and the owner has good knowledge of all the genres covered. I would say people looking for 1950s to 1980s music would be best served here. If you are into collecting vinyl from this time (country, blues, folk, jazz, classic rock, psychedelia etc) then you absolutely have to visit.
Yeah, the rows are abit cluttered but it's because he's always getting new stock - infact it...
I travel for a living and I enjoy collecting vinyl so I get to browse a lot of ""record shops"" in a lot of different cities.
The Good:
If you are looking for a particular, hard-to-find copy of an album to add to your collection, this place probably has it ...and there's a good chance there's more than one copy of it. The albums I looked at seemed to be in very good to excellent condition ...not just the vinyl itself but the cover as well. The guy who owns the shop is music-savvy and quite knowledgeable about his extensive stock ...which is good because there are two things...
I was excited when I first looked into the room and saw all the vinyl records. What a great find! \r

The place is TOO crowded. I like to browse but it's near impossible...the aisles are too narrow, the boxes…
