It’s quite easy to get lost in music. The harmonies and melodies can be great remedies for stressful days and unwinding. Conversely, they also perfectly complement exercise and a relaxing day at home. If you’re a music junkie and looking to add to your vinyl collection, consider visiting The Record Man in Redwood City, CA.

 

In business since 1988, The Record Man carries over a million records in multiple formats, including LPs, 45s, 78s, singles, and more. After shopping at the store, the clicks, pops, and white noise will go on for hours as they have records of all genres: rock, soul, jazz, blues, country, folk, soundtracks, along with many others. Not simply a record store, The Record Man also sells books, jewelry, and collectibles.  

 

For music buffs looking for a particular record or artist, The Record Man asks that you simply call or leave them a message online and they’ll let you know if they have it in the store. Organized by large bookshelves over three stories, it’s literally a floor-to-ceiling record store. Each fall, The Record Man hosts its annual parking lot sale. Hailed as a garage sale in the parking lot, the staff pulls out all its saved up, extra stock out into the parking lot where a large crowd of anxious music lovers await the 8am start of the sale.

 

Typically, prices for records at The Record Man range from $10-$25, but they do have a budget-oriented $5 section in the back of the store for much of the overstock items.

Always looking to bolster their in-store collection, The Record Man encourages customers to bring in their records, CDs, DVDs, and vintage albums in to sell for cash or store credit.

Classic records and vintage albums also make great gifts for the music lovers in your life. If you happen to find a “can’t miss” item for a friend or loved one, don’t pass it up. Simply bring it to the PostalAnnex+ in the Redwood Shores shopping center and allow them to expertly pack and ship your items to their destination. PostalAnnex+ employees are professionally trained to safely pack fragile, large, awkward, and valuable items for secure transportation and delivery. Even if you’re just visiting and don’t want to carry around your new records, just call PostalAnnex+ and they’ll ship them home for you.
