chubbler108 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm going to be in downtown Cleveland tomorrow and wanted to know if there are any good record stores. I'm going to be at the rock and roll hall of fame. Are there any good vinyl stores near that area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 There's none that I know of downtown, but if you want to make a 10-15 minute drive either way: WEST SIDE: My Mind's Eye http://www.mymindseyerecords.com/ EAST SIDE: Music Saves http://www.musicsaves.com/ Both stores have pretty solid vinyl selections, although Music Saves is more on the indie rock tip (and a bit more expensive, too). if you had to pick one, I'd say My Mind's Eye, definitely.

jacobe Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Scott, is Ultrasound still around in Mentor? That was a great shop for years, haven't been up that way in ages though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akross Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Scott, is Ultrasound still around in Mentor? That was a great shop for years, haven't been up that way in ages though. Nope, it has been gone for a few years (that's my hometown) Record Den is still kicking though, and they have a pretty decent new vinyl selection.

I don't really feel like Ultrasound is worth the drive out there anymore, to be honest. Last time I was there, I had a really bad experience with the girl working. Kirby and I got the last laugh, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excessiveviolins Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 i like to make the extra drive out to square records in Akron. but in cleveland, i'd for sure pick My Minds Eye. just watch how you handle the records, cause the owner doesn't like people to take them out of the sleeve. he'll do it for you if you ask him though. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, I am heading up to my parent's house to fix a computer and pick up a turntable, so I may have to find their address on Vine and check out their stuff...

You just have to take a handful out so you can browse, then stick them back in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffernutter Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The one thing I do when I get sent away for work is search out Record Stores. Ultrasound was listed in Revolver as one of the Top 10 Metal record stores in the US. I checked it out and came away with a cool pair of sneakers. For the life of me, I could not find one thing I wanted to get. I was looking for Municipal Waste and nothing. Nice selction of stuff though. I kept saying to myself, I have that and that, etc. My Minds Eye was by far my favorite out of any stores I checked out. Just the part of town I drove through to get there. Eeesh. Square Records in Akron I found to be a bit Indie and not much punk, hardcore or metal. Came away with the Menomena - Friend or Foe CD. I was hoping the LP of that would have had as good of packaging as the CD but no dice. Still, love owning that on 180 Gram. Bizarre band. Also checked out 2 shops in Columbus within/on the of Ohio State campus. Again, pretty decent but found nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre band. that triple gatefold LP packaging is as good as the CD if not better. They pressed 1000 of them, its sounds excellent, did you buy a bootleg copy of the LP or something? Theres a pic of it in the gatefold gallery thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffernutter Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I found an actual copy of it at Rainbow Records & Books in Newark, DE. Not a bad spot. Doesn't appear to be a boot. Just all the different things you could do with the Friend or Foe CD I was hoping for with the Triple gatefold. Just how anyway you would place the CD and spin it through the cut outs on either panel it would match up. That Craig Thompson is really good with his cartooning. The LP is still awesome though. Don't get me wrong. The only other Triple gatefold I have is my one Mudhoney album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
