Stepping into Round Trip Records was like taking a trip back in time. The cozy, well-worn vibe of the place instantly put me at ease, and the friendly banter between the owners, Paul and Dave, had me feeling right at home.
🎵 What's Spinning Here?
The Selection:
As I started browsing the tightly packed boxes, I was blown away by the sheer depth and breadth of their selection. From the classic jazz and rock LPs to the funk and hip-hop gems, it was clear these guys had a true passion for vinyl. I found myself getting lost in their impressive crates, uncovering hidden treasures at every turn.
💎 Any Rare Finds?
Rare & Collectible Vinyl:
While sifting through their stock, I stumbled upon a few real rarities that made my heart skip a beat. An original pressing of Brian Eno's latest album, priced a bit higher than I'd seen at Reckless Records, but still a steal considering its collector's value. And the used section held some true gems, like that hard-to-find jazz title I'd been chasing for ages.

What's it Gonna Cost Ya?:
I'll admit, the prices at Round Trip Records were a bit higher than what I'm used to paying at some of the other shops I frequent. But considering the rare and collectible nature of their inventory, it's understandable. And when I went to sell off a few of my own records, the owners gave me a fair deal, even if it wasn't quite as much as I'd hoped. All in all, it's the kind of place where you know you're paying a premium for the expertise and dedication of the staff.
