Best Record Store
Did we find a still-sealed copy of The Archie’s Everything’s Archie for only $20? We did. A mono pressing of The Beatles’ Second Album with the shrink wrap was not only affordable, but also in dead-mint condition. The only thing better than the bonus dollar-record bins tucked under the counter at this east-side shop is the quality of the products it peddles to novice and longtime collectors alike. The ‘In’ Groove’s stock is not only neatly organized, but each disk (including that nice, clean copy of The Love Generation’s rare third album we scored on our last visit) is slipped into a high-end plastic sleeve so potential buyers can see what great shape the vinyl is in. The knowledgeable staff always takes time to talk with us about our purchases, and when we say, “We’ll be back!” they know we mean it.
