🎵 What's Spinning Here?
The Selection:
I was amazed by the sheer volume of American pop vinyls on offer, even more than I've seen in cities like Tokyo. The collection was neatly categorized and easy to browse, with sections spanning 80s U.S. pop, metal, rock, and jazz. I could have spent hours digging through the carefully curated selection.
💎 Any Rare Finds?

To my delight, I stumbled upon a rare 1950s live concert recording and some incredible soundtracks that I'd been searching for. The organization by artist made it super efficient to hunt for these hidden gems, and I walked out with six records for under $33 — an absolute steal!
