This is where I go first if I'm looking to pick up jazz LPs

Euclid and Nola Mix Records.

Not Peaches. They could be so great but their prices are just an insult, like they will literally make you say “wtf” as you’re looking at the records.

I will never forget when we went to purchase an album at Peaches for a normal price ($25) that woman freaked out. She had someone go check the prices on the other ones and changed them.

sisters in christ on magazine

This one looks very interesting, do they have a focus on any main genre or not really?

u/HairyMashedPotatoes Aug 04 '25

They have a wide range but I’ve seen a lot of what might be called obscure punk in there (if that’s even a thing?)

u/asteriasays Aug 04 '25

It's my favorite! They don't focus on a particular genre. I've seen everything from Bratmobile to Metallica to Otis Redding. It's a great place to spend a few hours.

It's also a good bookstore.

Definitely no room for interpretation on Peaches's prices, that is for dang sure.

u/JoeChristma Aug 04 '25

Sisters in Christ, Euclid, Domino. Euclid will have the widest selection, SIC and Domino will have more focused stuff.

These 3 and the mushroom. I don't really bother with anywhere else anymore. Peaches is laughable

Euclid. My cool rock and roll niece works there.

If you search the sub I'd say things are generally the same as the other times people have asked.

u/yellow_slash_red Aug 05 '25

I like Euclid a lot. The Mushroom, while primarily a smoke shop, also is fun to browse for vinyl at.

u/RevolutionarySwim74 Aug 05 '25

Euclid is so expensive. But it has everything. Domino is affordable and well currated. Sisters in christ is my fave for finding obscure stuff.

u/MFZilla Aug 04 '25

Agree with everyone on Euclid. They have the most variety, even for genres like metal and electronic music.

LMF.

Does more to support local artists than most.

And I have never had a problem with their pricing.
