Agharta Records

i had never been to Agharta Record until last Sunday. Wow!What a great store! They seem to cater to my tastes in particular (Frank Zappa, Prince, horror movie soundtracks, odd bits of retro records with suggestive covers...), and their prices are good. It's organized very well; even their one-buck LPs have been alphabetized. It's a pleasure to go in and browse and hang out there. It would be nice if they had a seating area for us folks getting up there in years, so we could take a breather now and then, but that would take up space for more vinyl wonderment.I can't wait to visit again...and I WILL visit again.

Maybe this will be an unpopular opinion, but I honestly thought this place blew Electric Fetus out of the water. It's has ~everything~ I love in a record store. Y'know, like, records.They have a large selection of newer records which is fantastic, especially for appealing to a larger age demographic, but there are also SO many vintage, collectible, off-beat, etc. options as well. Such a cool place too - the walls are completely covered with posters and there isn't an inch of square footage that isn't jam-packed with records. The owner seems like a really friendly guy, and he was complimenting everyone's music choices as they checked out. Overall, VERY worth the visit. One of the coolest spots in the area in my opinion :)

Agharta Records is a really fun stop! They are ever so slightly pricier than other shops I visited in the area, but they had some rare finds. The shining star of my visit had to be the ~Dig Room~. At first, I was pretty overwhelmed and felt defeated before I even began, but then I realized the walls were actually organized alphabetically (for the most part). I am SO glad I took the time to look through the whole collection, because I found some seriously awesome records, all for under $4.

Tons of records just crammed in here. If you are looking for something chances are they have it or know about how to obtain it. The staff was very friendly and helped answer questions and to locate a few artist we have been searching for. They would have gotten five stars but I really was distracted by the musical choice playing the day I was there....Just a little too harsh and angry sounding for my liking but I can appreciate that others like it and hey if I could play what I wanted while working I am not sure everyone would love my choices either....so you do you boo boo!

My girlfriend introduced me to this place because I needed to sell a bunch of records and she said they were fair. Not only did the person working give me a fair amount for the two boxes of records I brought in, but the whole process was fast and painless. No leaving records overnight, no waiting hours and hours, no hassle over payment. I just turned over the records, shopped around, and after a few minutes, got paid. Literally the best experience selling records in my life. To make it even better, the shop is packed full of records in all genres. There's a great selection of punk and metal, with lots of obscure and rare stuff. Lots of horror movie soundtracks. And it's so well organized! I was digging through the discount stuff and I almost passed out when I realized it was alphabetized. And there's a whole room of discount stuff. I ended up being surprised by a record that I didn't even know existed by a legendary local band I love, so I had to buy that, as well as a new record by a Sub Pop band I've been meaning to listen to.I was just so impressed by the whole situation, and the person working was so kind and cool to my girlfriend and I. I'm excited to buy more records here.

I've lived a few blocks from this for 2 years and just stopped in to check it out. I promptly returned the following day when I had more time to look around. Prices on newer releases are a few bucks higher (if at all) than other sources online, but its EASILY made up for by the bargain section. I found a few $1 gems that sound like they have never been played. The staff (owners?) are polite and helpful, and there is a tremendous variety. Can't recommend this place enough. I'll be back!

Must stop in a city with many great record stores. This shop just feels the best to be in. Love shopping here. Great selection and friendly owners and employees!!

If you swung by years ago and thought this was too small to matter, then try again because this shop expanded! Very well organized with a current and solid back catalog of many enjoyable genres (indie, local, jazz, psyche, local), this shopIs all about vinyl. With a great selection of new releases, alphabetized pre-80s classics, culled-out collectables, and friendly staff, you should have no trouble finding something worth the while.

BEWARE: the employees at this store appear to hold infinite knowledge in the realm of music. i have witnessed them using dark magic to summon the album of one's deepest lust.

Simply the best. They always have a great and vast selection of vinyl, and a large new arrivals section. Dylan and the rest of the crew are so kind and helpful. Do try this place!
