I walked in and was immediately struck by the cool, laid-back vibe of this place. It's got a real vintage feel, like stepping back in time to a 60s record shop. The walls are lined with shelves of vinyl, and there's a great selection of old MOJO magazines to thumb through while you browse.
🎵 What's Spinning Here?
The Selection:
The selection here is really impressive, especially when it comes to that retro sound I love. I found a killer inventory of synth-wave 80s sci-fi magazines, plus a great mix of new and used vinyl across all genres. Sure, it may not have the sheer size of some other stores, but the curation is top-notch.
💎 Any Rare Finds?
Rare & Collectible Vinyl:
This place is a goldmine for rare and collectible vinyl. I've stumbled across so many hidden gems here over the years - stuff you just can't find anywhere else in town. The prices are outright bargains too, which is a major plus for a vinyl lover like myself.
🏘️ The Neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood:
Parasol Records is located in the heart of Urbana, and it really captures the spirit of this cool, artsy college town. Stopping by feels like a true local experience, like I'm part of this tight-knit community of music lovers. The shop is a fixture, and I'd heard about it long before I finally made it in.
💰 What's it Gonna Cost Ya?
What's it Gonna Cost Ya?:
I've always found the prices here to be incredibly reasonable, especially compared to some of the larger chain stores. Sure, it may not have the sheer selection of, say, Exile on Main Street, but the records are in great shape and the bargains are unbeatable. I always leave feeling like I got my money's worth - and then some.
