Too Many Records-Congrats on RSD and your upcoming 2 year anniversary!

[@DJSwitchPDX]

Fluance tables are legit! I almost bought one for my office. I might still upgrade to an RT-85 when I get more space.

[@robertburns8306]

Congratulations on your upcoming two-year anniversary! Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am in NC and my favorite record store is my local Record Krate in NC. I could really use that Fluance turntable and would pay shipping. Looking forward to RSD.

[@aronpolasek4506]

My favorite record store is Waterloo Records in Austin, TX. Ever since I moved to Austin, Waterloo has been the heart of the city for me. They may not have the cheapest prices, but they have great selection, and I've always found the staff to be really helpful and friendly.

[@TooManyRecords]

Looking forward to visiting it again next month, first time in 12 years!

[@aronpolasek4506]

@@TooManyRecords Well, since you own a record store and know the industry, you won't be surprised to hear that vinyl now takes up probably about 2/3 of the floorspace, and has spread into the left side of the store. A total flip flop of what the store looked like back when I first entered it in the 90s.

[@rkilbrai]

Congrats on the two years, and Fluance is an awesome turntable, a great bang for the buck. I'm here in Winnipeg, and Sunrise records is the one I usually visit here (as far as brick and mortar). Argy's is pretty cool but a bit far. Some of my artists I enjoy I have to order directly from them (not even on the big online sellers).

[@SziontificMystic]

LOONEY TUNES II in Wakefield, rhode Island. A go to for me plus it's owned and run by a cool family!

[@therapfaction]

That's awesome man. I love your philosophy that Record Store Day should be about celebrating the whole store. Always appreciated stores that did additional promos beyond the RSD titles!

[@DesertBurst92]

My favorite record store will always be Amoeba Hollywood! It’s such a vibe. Hope to dig through yours one day!

[@TooManyRecords]

Me too man

[@elmersonreyes6052]

Another nice video review. This is one of the better collection of vinyls for RSD in awhile. My favorite record store is Spin Me Round in Easton, PA. They are the best family oriented record store family. They are very entertaining in their KZbin channel and definitely in person. Just a great group of people. They are so helpful and friendly and have a great variety of vinyls, cd’s, and everything related to music . Love this store. I love watching their KZbin channel and this channel as well.

[@kc_douglas]

Subscribed and notification 🔔 on! Hope you like the new PJ, Matt! Loved hearing it at the listening party this past Sunday at my favorite record store, Fingerprints Music in Long Beach! Been looking at options to upgrade my table recently. Thanks to you and Fluance for the chance!

[@Fonso13]

I was waiting for this video! Lots to choose from this year. You’re absolutely right about RSD Day and releasing hard to get and expensive records. Standards record store 🤘🏽

[@jaduval11]

Congratulations on two years open!!

[@LukePlaysUke]

Short story: My son was in Scotland (late March) performing in an orchestral concert of international school students and he lost his passport between London and Scotland. Because of this, I had to go rescue him, take the train to London (closest embassy with a passport office that was open), and go through the process of getting an emergency passport. By sheer coincidence, my family was planning on a UK vacation the following week but this left my son and me with nothing to do for a week because I didn’t want to do touristy things without my partner and oldest. So my son (who collects CDs) asked to go to record shops near the hotel because he was looking for a record to help complete a collection of his focusing on The Smile. We found it at Fopp Records and they were having a deal where, if you bought up to two more records, the prices of the individual records went down. Because I’m a nice dad, I bought my first two records (The Living End’s 25th anniversary of their self-titled and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge) to reduce the amount he would put out on this album. And, because I wanted to make it more special, I got to the register first and bought his first record (a Radiohead album). We went back to the hotel and just… stared at the records. We made Discogs accounts, built want lists, started doing research (we’re both on the spectrum and big researchers). We had a blast. So we started walking to every record shop we could find and MY favorite shop of all times is All Ages Records in London (Camden, specifically). It’s a punk/hardcore shop and the owner is just the coolest guy out there. Anyway, the rest of the family came, we vacationed, yadda yadda yadda. When we came home, I ordered my turntable and my son’s been hanging out in my office listening to the records we picked up in shops, but also checking out the records I picked up on the trip. It’s been a huge bonding experience and, honestly, might be the best decision I’ve made as a dad when it comes to my son. He’s usually really quiet and withdrawn but vinyl - music in general - has given him a space to open up and feel comfortable revealing more and more of himself. It’s super cool. So yeah. His favorite is Fopp and my favorite is All Ages.

[@VertigoeIsReal]

My favorite store, (as well as the one I'll be camping out at for RSD lol) Is Piranha Records in Round Rock TX, a great store with a great staff! Currently trying to convince them to hire me... 😅

[@jimboneutron007]

My favorite record store currently is the Exchange. While not just a record store they have a decent selection of new and used records. I just started record collecting so I haven’t been to many stores yet. Although I am going to try a few new ones on record store day.

[@Portland117]

Favorite record store: TOO MANY RECORDS in Portland, OR! Shoutout to the new jazz employee whos chill as hell! Also you made my jaw drop opening with that Nujabes!! Still happy you put me on to Marcus D's 'Don't Hold Ya Breath'! 🤙

[@TooManyRecords]

Melancholy Hopeful the GOAT!!

[@JeffreyBassin]

The former location of Rough Trade was a perfect record store. Loved how it combined a music venue with the record store and provided intimate concerts for album releases. But considering it's gone now, let's go with Amoeba Hollywood! A+ selection, and always find used gems for a fair price.

[@TooManyRecords]

I miss the old Rough Trade :(

[@Theundisputedlegacy]

My favorite record store is Electric Fetus in Minneapolis, Mn! ⚡️

[@cnu929]

Orange Records and Vinyl Giant are the big ones here in Fargo, ND. Love going in to both every few weeks and checking out what new they got in!

[@donsatman2273]

Sunrise Records here in Regina. Offering 20% off if you spend $100 or more on RSD 👍

[@chichestertownlibrary1076]

Great video! I love Landlocked Records in Bloomington, Indiana and Twist and Shout in Denver. However, I now live in New England and one of my favorite record stores is Bull Moose in Maine and New Hampshire. Record stores rock!

[@dalepafford5732]

Congratulations on 2 years, I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. I remember watching your videos stating that you were opening a store. WOW! Time flies. Currently, my favorite local record store is either a local CD Warehouse location, lots of Metal & Hard Rock, or Joe’s Records STL. They’re both great indie record stores, & I’m still only just over a month into being here in the area.

[@gaphono]

Glad I met you. Great Escape store in Murfreesboro TN

[@jimmyhenry3823]

OMG! That Dido and Vengaboys! I need and will be there first thing Saturday at opening. Favorite record store: TOO MANY RECORDS in Portland, OR, Duh!

[@TooManyRecords]

SEE YOU SOON

[@BobTomanek]

The Exchange in Elyria Ohio is my go to since it’s close to my home, but will be checking out a few different places on Record Store Day.

[@willfromw00tsup29]

My favorite record store is of course, Too Many Records. I always find something to add to my collection and I like just hanging out. Very excited about those emo and pop punk titles!

[@philbloom3582]

Favorite is definitely Amoeba. Have been a video and CD customer for 20 years, Have always loved the concerts they have in-store, and am FINALLY happy to start building a Vinyl collection (starting with my All-in-one Angels Horn).

[@Chris-th5xv]

Dr. Disc in Hamilton Ontario. Unrivalled customer service.

[@dansharkey5218]

Always great content & educating the listeners. Thanks My favorite record store has to be Toad Hall in Rockford, Illinois.

[@Bluejay104]

Favorite record store is Rough Trade in NYC. Maybe the magic is there in the way the old location use to be, but I’m nostalgic for the old and still love all the events

[@gregbobb9615]

My favorite record store is Ragged Records in Davenport, IA. Love your channel. The shop looks good in your videos.

[@SliderLe]

My favourite record store is Winnipeg Records & Tapes in Winnipeg, Canada; especially for the selection of vintage sealed albums, and a great funk/soul/disco section (owner’s first love).

[@cynusmusic]

Obligatory Amoeba comment, but being born in Southern California it was my experience with getting vinyl. The original store was a landmark and it just was so cool going there each time and finding cool albums. However, I feel if I lived in Portland, then it would probably be your store ngl

[@TooManyRecords]

[@NickRudow]

My favorite record store is Crazy Rhythms in San Antonio, Texas. Had so many amazing digs there back in the day. Looking forward to lining up early on Saturday at my local shop here in Boise.

[@blahoholic]

I moved away from Austin a couple of years ago and still miss my favorite record store End of An Ear!

[@robertburns8306]

Congratulations on your upcoming two-year anniversary! Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am in NC and my favorite record store is my local Record Krate. I could really use that Fluance turntable and would pay shipping. Looking forward to RSD.

[@KingDefMusic]

Twist and Shout in Denver is my favorite record shop.

[@Lamont2g]

Nice!

[@davidellis5141]

Nocturne by Siouxsie & The Banshees , Hips & Makers by Kristin Hersch & the Lost In Translation soundtrack are my 3 picks for RSD. Lost Padre in Santa Fe is my favorite store & where I will be Saturday morning 🌄.

[@TooManyRecords]

I was just there a few weeks ago! Found some good stuff. Go check out Guy In The Groove too!

[@TarBabyJim]

Hi, I don't really have a favorite record store but would love visiting your store, it looks real nice. I'm 69 years old and love old rock music. Melanie Safka is my favorite artist. She is selling her past catalog mostly on vinyl so I've decided to save up to get a new stereo to play my new records on. That turntable is one I've been thinking about buying, it gets great reviews. I just ordered the new clear vinyl Dark side of the moon record. I'm excited to listen to Pink Floyd again soon. Records are so cool and the colored vinyl has caused me to want new records. Thanks and nice to meet you.😊

[@videosky_H.264]

I can't believe it's going to be two years already. That's wild. I think the best record shops in Southern California are Port of Sound and Amoeba Hollywood, but I'm going to go with Sonido del Valle as my favorite record shop. They always got a ton of holy grail records displayed on their wall that I want to get and the staff is a great crowd. Might have to swing by this week that now that I have them in mind.

[@joshbrady5351]

My fav record store is Rock and Soul here in NYC. But I'm hoping to get back up to the pacific northwest soon, and something tells me Too Many Records could take that top spot!

[@TheSofiaa]

Cactus Music is my favorite record store! I love the vibes there and friendly staff!!

[@mywarjohnny5808]

I haven't been to "Too Many Records", but travel for work and always visit local stores. My favorite "local" store is Park Ave but was just in Austin and fell in love with Waterloo Records. I wish my local stores were celebrating RSD like you guys do! Live music etc... Hope to see the store in person in Q3 this year. Cheers!!! And why isn't anyone talking about the Thin Lizzy record.. that's my #1 this year!!!

[@Fiddlernationaltour]

My favorite record shop is Waterloo records in Austin Texas! Happy Record Store day!

[@aefysmith81]

- I almost finish in collecting all of the Nujabes vinyl albums and I just grabbed that alternative version of Beyonce Renaissance album as well as her new album. I became a fan of Franz Ferdinand due to Just Dance ( before the heavy micro transactions😅). - My record store is Dusty Groove here in Chicago. Not only is the crowd there always easy going and cool (even when Taylor Swift was an ambassador) the owner and workers are awesome. I remember RSD Black Friday being super cold (Chicago) & before we started to leave and comeback when the store opened the owner arrived let us in to get warm as well as served hot coffee and cocoa which was a HUGE LIFESAVER. Also they get albums that I find hard to acquire especially Anime type soundtracks (ex: they restock the Samurai Champloo soundtracks 3x at retail price, Fat Jon solo projects)

[@TooManyRecords]

[@cassidyhaas162]

Underdog Recordstore in Cologne, Germany. Amazing selection, friendly staff, and also incredible promoters!

[@twippie5313]

Are you from Germany? If yes do you think that they’ll have new stuff like Young Thugs - Jeffery?

[@Ardynaika]

@@twippie5313 I live in Germany. I think most stores will get copies of the Young Thug album, but it might sell out before they put the leftover stock online, since it's one that people have been wanting for a long time.

[@rgil1981]

[@roserojsn]
