Some of tomorrow’s new releases (and their placement in the shop tomorrow morning) We will open at 10am tomorrow. Thank you
Hi. we are open today until 5. closed tomorrow. we will be open on Friday from 10-6. there will be a limited number of Record Store Day items for sale on Friday. As has been the norm recently, we will only allow 8 people in the shop at a time. if we are ready and able to open a bit earlier and there is a line outside we may open the doors to reduce the amount of people waiting in line. please wear a mask, distance and be safe and we will get through the line as quickly as possible. This won't be like other Record Store Day events where we put out a lot of older rare records, have give-aways, entertainment etc. Hopefully we will get back to that next year. thanks

"When the record skips, the show must go on! Manipulating vinyl in a live atmosphere creates a unique set of challenges. As seen with Champions of the past, recovery is key for a true turntablist. To master the art, you must be able to find yourself in the music.
This year's DMC/Technics World DJ battle Championship is being hosted completely online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In an effort to replicate reality, we were fortunate enough to film at Square Records in Akron, OH, a cultural staple for collectors and listeners from all walks of life."
