So, um, based on my first and last visit to this store, the owner is a bit of a weirdo psycho control freak.

He seemed nervous and jittery, maybe over-caffeinated, or maybe under the influence of something stronger....? I don't know, and I really don't care.

What I do care about, though, is the fact that the guy made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable virtually the whole time I was in the store.

Rather than let me browse through the records in peace, he kept getting up in my face about one thing after the other, as if I was some mangy bum who'd walked into the place to stink...

Disappointed, but richer than I would've been!

I recently brought a box full of several dozen used CDs to Full Moon. The guy there (perhaps the owner?) looked through them and didn't really find much of value. He initially offered me $20 for the entire box, but later reneged and offered me $2 for just one of the CDs. Within the two weeks following my disappointing experience at Full Moon, I ended up selling about 95% of my collection at AbundaTrade (which paid for shipping) and eBay for over $100 - wow! One rare CD brought over $50 on eBay! Although in a way I'm sorry Full Moon wasn't interested, I definitely came out way ahead. My...

A Discovery

I was amazed to discover an old school record store like this in the town where I live. I haven't lived here all that long. Many of the records are $4 to $6, unheard of in the modern age. I immediately found a selection of Donovan records priced $4-$6 each, which I purchased. You just don't find record stores like this anymore. They have completely disappeared from L.A., where I'm from. The place is obviously tailored more toward the casual vinyl fan than the collector, as there are price stickers directly on the covers. I'm not really a collector and can live with that. Atlanta has quite a...

Best Little Record Store in Town!

If you are looking for good quality vinyl at a very fair price, especially within the rock genre(s), Full Moon is worth a visit. I've picked up many titles for $4 that would easily be $7 or $8 at other local stops. Also, if you can manage to beat me to it, the $1 bins often contain some real gems, though you will have to wade through the Dan Fogelberg and Linda Ronstadt titles to find 'em.

Ted (the owner) is very knowledgeable about music and, in my opinion, does a great job of running the store. There's a reason he's been in business there for over 17 years and it's not so that the people...

Ha! The brouhaha below is hilarious (especially the part about leaving a message for Ted's ""boss"")! The people at Full Moon are great. But, more importantly, the records are even better. Best prices in town. You can find some great records at a real deal at Full Moon.

Pros

+ good records, cheap records, records, etc.

With the walls decorated with rare albums and nostalgic concert posters, Full Moon proves it's not your typical music store. In fact, this unique establishment could conjure memories of your grandfather's basement, down to the wooden handmade shelves to the selection of represented artists to the price of the records. That's right: records. While they sell CDs, this store specializes in...
