Vinyl Rescue Project

Nice selection. Friendly staff. Wide range of new and used (not as much used as I had hoped though).

I have to update my review for VRP. It quickly has become one of my favorite record stores. The selection is well organized. The space is perfect for browsing. They always have music playing. They have plenty of wall decorations. The prices are fair and on our recent trip the owner gave us a sticker for the store as well.

Tucked away in the small strip mall across from the entrance to the Jiffy Lube and Crew Car Wash is a nice place to check for your vinyl needs! After pulling into the shared lot, I entered the shop with the checkout counter on the right as you enter. The rest of the shop was filled with rows of albums (and some 45's) arranged by genre. As I browsed through the rock section, I noticed that all albums seemed to be wrapped in a plastic sleeve with the actual vinyl in the inner paper sleeve removed from the cardboard cover to show that the record was complete. Many of the covers had "new" labels on them, so I assume that meant they would be scratch free.The plastic sleeve was folded over and sealed with a bar code label that had the price for each album. The range for albums I checked out ran from around $5 to into the $20+ range depending upon the demand. (Some are even higher, but that's to be expected for hard to find or collectible editions.)There were also other genres and I was pleased to see so many artists, including independent ones, represented. No, they don't have every album, but that is probably limited by size of the store as much as anything. Still, you are free to browse and when asked, the owner was helpful. If you are building (or rebuilding) your vinyl collection, add this shop to your places to explore.Review #3525

I travel a lot and when I have time, I like to visit used vinyl or book stores. I was in the Greenwood area and I saw this place in Yelp. I thought I would give it a try. The establishment is a bit on the small side. It was located in a strip mall adjacent to a busy intersection. Also I am the kind of guy who likes to find used treasures. I would say that 75% of the records at this place is new. Even the used records are a bit pricey. Plus the inventory is as large as you might see in some places.I walked off with four LP's that I thought were pretty decent and a CD that was put out by a local band. Total tab, $65. If I was in the area again, I think I would try a different store.

I need more time here. I stopped in on my way to a friend's house and only had about 15 minutes. For serious I wish I had more time. The store had some great gems that I haven't been able to find on the north side of town which will keep me coming back. They have everything from new releases to classic and alternative used records and jazz.

This is one of my favorite records stores for sure. I'm always surprised by what I find in there, especially when it comes to heavy music. I highly recommend this place and the owner is super nice and helpful.

I visited this store to buy some vinyl records for my husband because I had bought him a record player for Christmas. They had a large selection of records and the shop owner was patient with me while I asked for recommendations and thoughts on albums from artists I was unfamiliar with.Unfortunately, the record player didn't work out as my husband's main gift, therefore the records had to be returned. The receipt stated 7 day return policy and it was day 8. My husband went back to see if the shop owner would consider accepting our return and it was accepted graciously and quickly.If we ever need to purchase vinyl records in the future, I would absolutely return to this shop.

Danny was so kind! I'm not from here, and I was in a car filled with girls so I didn't have much time to browse for records, so I called and asked if I can email my list of artist to him to see if they had any of the records, and he was so open to have me do that! He immediately emailed me back with a list of artist they had from my list! In person he again, was friendly, and sweet! Great customer service! Thanks Danny!San Diego girl,Janet!

I love music. And I love, adore and worship records. Yeah, vinyl. I always have and always will. Scratches, crackles & pops while listening to my albums? Doesn't bother me one iota.I can't even begin to explain my giddy excitement when I was driving down 135 South one day recently and saw the "Vinyl" sign. I nearly wrecked.This store is absolutely awesome. If you collect vinyl, just started buying vinyl, or are interested in purchasing a turntable (also sold here) so that you can begin buying & listening to records then THIS IS YOUR PLACE! I've been here a few times now, taken my time perusing the vinyl, and made new & used record album purchases at what I feel are very reasonable prices. Plus, I keep forgetting to ask the owner, but I believe he uses some special machinery on each & every used record to restore it into practically new condition. All of the used vinyl I've purchased sounds great. Not to mention, the album covers being in excellent condition and the album cover being enclosed in a protective sleeve. The owner (an extremely nice and humble guy) has a FB page for his shop which I highly recommend following because he has daily posts listing the new inventory that he's taken in and he posts some really cool songs/videos. If any of this interests you (I hope so) then check this place out!

Discovering a great, new, local music shop in Greenwood seems like the most unlikely of places. But, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the Vinyl Rescue Project last week. The store is definitely new, but has some great potential. Trays of records, both new and old, line the walls and consume the center of the store. There's a great selection of jazz, rock, soundtracks, classical, pop, with everything from 1950s to the present day. All the vintage records appeared to be in great shape and at reasonable prices. I picked up an original Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" LP for $4! Can't beat the prices and the quality. The store offers new record players for sale and the store owner was more than willing to provide us with a demonstration of their quality. He took the time to explain to us the different features of each and let us know what we would be getting with each product. Needless to say, I foresee a new record player in our future.I am looking forward to coming back for a return visit to see what new records have been added to the store's inventory. I hope others will check out the Vinyl Rescue Project - it gives hope that more local businesses will open in Greenwood.
