Review from Liz B.
1/10/2012
My husband drags me to used CD stores all the time. Most of the time I am waiting for him to finish looking for rock CDs because my tastes are narrower than his. I prefer jazz, R&B, and world music. I was surprised to see some great finds in this store. The used CDs tend to run about $8. I found quite a few CDs in here, and I was looking around as long as my husband, which tells you that the selection here is pretty diverse for CDs. As others have said, the place is pretty small, so when people come in, you have to squeeze by in order to pass. There is another store that has just as good a selection of jazz and world music, but the prices are much more, so this place has an advantage over them. I rate it 5 stars.

Review from janseswithwolfes x.

I started going to the Turntable a few years back. They have an amazing supply of 60s and 70s mint records, there are many other categories but my personal interests are quite narrow.
Ernie who works there has encyclopedic knowledge of out of print, classic rock or early kraut rock, (my new favourite). You name it and he knows it and probably has a copy in the store.
The store is in the middle of Fan Tan Alley and is small you almost have to leave the store to turn the record over - just kidding but after 4 people in the store and it feels very crowded.
There is always something interesting playing on the store's turntable or CD player and the staff will play anything you find and want to preview.
For anyone with an interest in older vinyl or newer used CDs the Turntable is a must.
I will probably see you there Sunday afternoon, looking for that elusive first printing of an obscure musical treasure & I won't tell you which one I want.
