Started with one crate at a swap meet

The shop started as a folding table at a Sunday swap meet, one milk crate of records bought from an estate sale that nobody else wanted to sort through. It moved into the storefront on Groove Street six years later, and the sorting has never really stopped.

We still buy whole collections rather than cherry-picking, which means most weeks we are sorting boxes in the back that have not been sorted since the seventies. Thursday is when that work reaches the wall.

Three people work the counter. All three will tell you honestly if a record you are holding is not as good as the one next to it.
