Customer testimonials:

I am a record collecting novice, but I know that I prefer quality over quantity. Vintage Vinyl was one of the first record stores I checked out when I started collecting, and I absolutely love the shop and the owner. Vintage Vinyl has helped me build my collection of 80s new wave music, as well as other titles I grew up listening to. The quality of their albums is fantastic. I have been in some record stores where the employees treat you like you are invisible or mock you for your selections - neither has ever happened at Vintage Vinyl. Friendly, kind and informative staff, no judgment, and a cool vibe overall in the shop. I will be a customer forever! -Diana H (August 2024)

Hi Steve- hope you're doing well. I'm glad Vintage Vinyl is open again to public. Steve... you will never know how much music you turned me on to- or how much I always loved being in the shop. I viewed it as a cathedral of awesomeness my friend. It was not just the bands you guided me to (numerous)- it was the aperture expansion baby- I sought out literally dozens (hundreds?) of different things because of you. Entire genres man. I treasure all of it. We live in parlous times- VV should be viewed as an oasis of good vibe sanity. I hope things continue to become more reasonable & happy for us all. I always enjoy talking! Thanks! -Jim W. (July 2022)

That's it! Again, yours in the best record store in the country...also, reading your record descriptions is like reading the best history of rock music. -Rob F. (June 2022)

“When my friends and I wanted something like the June Brides, or, say, the Icicle Works' Love Is a Wonderful Colour picture disc, we had to ride our bicycles 22 miles, to Evanston, the closest college town, where stood Vintage Vinyl, then and now one of the great record stores of the world. The place wasn't big, but they had a great import section, and they kept their records in thick plastic sleeves, which appealed to us, because we were geek-serious about all this. So serious that we brought backpacks lined in sturdy cardboard, so we could ride the purchases safely back home, without dents or bendings to the records' corners. So serious that we kept our records wrapped doubly in plastic sleeves, and we cleaned the grooves, with the softest chamois, after each play.” Dave Eggers in the UK’s Guardian Unlimited
