Crystal Ball Records — Local services in Bellingham

I learned about this Record music store, completely by accident, but I'm glad I did. I happen to be on Google one day, and learned about the opening of this store. First and foremost, I'm a vinyl junkie, always have been, always will be. I'm always looking for good vinyl spots, and this one hit it on target. The owner, an attractive, younger fully tattooed women, is very friendly, and knows her stuff when it comes to music. I was just a bit disappointed that she didn't carry a lot of Jazz lp's, but that's just my preference, otherwise, the vinyl selection she does carry would definitely satisfy the young, middle aged, and older population. If you're into vinyl, this is a great place to visit. She also carries cd's, and other products. Give it a shot, I think you'll enjoy it as...

This is a great record store that opened in the fall of 2024 in Bellingham, and its owner established herself as a local record store manager at a longtime store prior to opening her own store.

This is a great modern day local record shop that also has CDs and cassettes along with candles, incense, and other swag. You can get your records cleaned here with an ultrasonic cleaner with a per-record charge, and the Store operates on Discogs for the wider record collecting audience.

Great selection, all the stuff you'd expect and then some. Selection for a wide age and taste range. Prices in-line with the industry standard these days.

Easy...

What an awesome gem to the Bellingham Area! I am a professor of Vinylcology. No that's not a real thing. But, this is a record shop that you need to check out. No matter what genre you are looking for, you will find it at Crystal Ball. Aside from some other really cool items...even cassette, cds and vintage Ts. As well as tons of other sweet stuff. Vannie is the proprietor and is a pleasure. Whether chatting about shows or some of the cool stuff that adorn the walls or asking about some of the wicked awesome albums "on the wall", she always makes the experience fun and informative. Crystal Ball Records is 100%...
