St. Pete Records is now my favorite record shop, anywhere.
Met Chris when we entered who was quick with a hello and a smile. He immediately asked us if he could help us find anything and was very knowledgeable about all things music. Also a great "Rodney" impressionist!
Found the shop through an article in Spin magazine, and so lucky I did. A great amount of "gems" in this store. Prices are fair, especially for some of the more hard to find LPs. Albums aren't jammed together like a lot of shops do, so easy to flip through when you're looking through them.
Met Keith the owner too, a great guy, who is also extremely knowledgeable about the history of Rock and just an all around great guy.
A really cool unique aspect of this store is it's connected to a furniture store, you'll have to go there to see it. SPIN did a piece about that in thier article.
If your into records St. Pete's is a must stop shop when your in Chattanooga TN. Prices and selection are great.
El Gato recommendation:
Great shop run and staffed by great people, Highly...

We were in Florida on a vacation and happened by this store on a fluke, and I am so happy we did. They had a very nice collection of records, but I'm not really one to judge that. Records are my husband's thing. He was so excited at their selection and prices. He was happy, so I was happy.
What really made this place an absolute gem, was the staff. They were so friendly and engaging. They made me feel right at home and really valued. It's so rare to come across not only a place but people like this who genuinely care about what they do and who they meet.
I cannot recommend St. Pete records enough. We will make this one of our firsts stops whenever we are in town in the future. It was a highlight of our trip, and I really can't...
Read moreNew to the area and started checking out the local record shops and I was lucky enough to find this place. Let me start by saying, EVERYTHING HERE IS PRICED!! It is amazing! The store is clean and very well organized. The staff gets an A++ for friendliness even stopping to ask if I needed help finding anything.
There is a price point here for everyone. If your looking for something special, its probably here. If your looking for bargain records, they are here. If your looking for mutiple playing formats, it is here. This is a great place amd I look forward to getting back up to graze the vinyl selections again.
Do yourself a favor... if your a vinyl junkie, stop in here and stay a while. You...
