Record Collector is Iowa City's longest running true record store, in business since 1982. Of course we sell CDs as well, but from day one vinyl has been our priority. People ask us if vinyl's coming back -- we say it never left. Besides our wide range of selections, we also sell local artist's releases and a few music accessories. Stop down and see if you can't find something to pique your fancy.
This music shop holds its own as far as Midwest music stores go. A collector since 1969 and spoiled by the stellar West Coast shops of San Francisco, Portland, and Seatlle, I nevertheless found Record Collector an oasis for new and old browsers alike. Half Japanese was playing when I walked in (from the rain) and I walked out with a quality remaster of Egg's "A Polite Force" on CD. This after having had a bit of a chat about Soft Machine's terrific second album and seeing that they stock Current 93. HJ, SM, C93 and Egg. Kudos and thanks!
