Stepping into Irving Place Records, I immediately felt at home. The cozy, welcoming vibe was palpable, with the friendly owners greeting me like an old friend. The store had a cool, laid-back 60s feel that had me bobbing my head to the tunes playing overhead.
🎵 What's Spinning Here?
The Selection:
The selection here is truly impressive. From local Milwaukee artists to legendary jazz and rock throwbacks, the racks were bursting with an expertly curated collection. I found myself getting lost for hours, flipping through crates of vinyl in genres from country to soul and everything in between.
💎 Any Rare Finds?
Rare & Collectible Vinyl:
Rummaging through the bins, I stumbled upon a few real gems - a mint condition copy of Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' and a rare pressing of The Kinks' 'Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)'. The owners clearly have an eye for the special and obscure, making this a treasure trove for any serious vinyl collector.
🏘️ The Neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood:
Irving Place Records is nestled in the heart of Milwaukee's vibrant East Side, a neighborhood teeming with independent shops, cafes, and art galleries. Stopping by felt like stepping into a little slice of urban cool, with the hum of the city providing a lively backdrop to my vinyl browsing.
💰 What's it Gonna Cost Ya?
What's it Gonna Cost Ya?:
The prices here are more than fair - I picked up a turntable and a few jazz LPs for a very reasonable total. The owners seem to understand that the joy of vinyl is in the hunt, not the price tag, so you won't find any exorbitant markups. It's the kind of place where you can indulge your record collecting habit without breaking the bank.
