Candi Warhol’s — Local services in Covington

Excellent location, doesn't have that grimy record store vibe that makes your hands feel dirty just thinking about it that i love so much, but it's got a cool little yuppie-like vibe that won't scare anyone off. The selection consisted of primarily new releases, and they're about 8 to 10% more expensive than you'd find at other shops, but i know the mark-up on new records doesn't leave much meat on the bone for the proprietors so I don't get bothered by it especially when they're a kind of new shop. Either they haven't had many folks try to sell records to them, they don't buy from individuals often, or their prices they pay out are very low, but the used stuff left a lot to be desired. They had the copious amounts of the usual suspects like Hall and Oates, Ronstadt, and the Eagles, for example. Nothing rare or very valuable. I'm not knocking on the place. They all have to start somewhere, and I think this store would be better served by trying to gobble up some cool collections by making serious efforts in looking for sellers and not purchasing Elton John or Foreigner or any other mid to late 70s through 1986 million plus selling lps. Customers like unique record stores that separate themselves from the rest. I think if a store started selling UK bands from the mid 80s to present like Tears for Fears, Blur, Robbie Williams, Suede, Pulp, Placebo, A-ha, Pet Shop Boys, James, etc., they'd be shocked by the response. There certainly wouldn't be another like it around Atlanta, for sure. I don't mean dedicate the entire inventory to it, but carry their new efforts along with some hard to find in the U.S. older records by the European bands. I did notice the Duran Duran "Pop Trash" record they had and almost bought it but stumbled upon Tesla's "Real to Reel" from this past Record Store Day for 60 bucks. I already own a copy, but seeing that this album sells for twice their asking price, I would have been foolish to not get it. And the DD album was around 7 to 10 dollars too high anyway. I've gotten way off topic, but I hope this place sticks around because it's convenient for me, and I'd like to see it succeed and separate itself from the Decatur shops and other larger ones. Be unique. This city is large enough to have a customer base to support any direction you decide to go with your...

I visited this shop last weekend. It's cute. Alot smaller than I expected. Their vinyl selection leaves a lot to be desired. I thought this was also supposed to be a skate shop and I honestly don't think I noticed any skate boards, though that wasn't the reason I stopped in. The graphic tee selection seemed more like wall decor, as the selection was just eh. I'm disappointed there were no CDs for purchase, as that's the primary media that I buy used. I give the shop three stars because the atmosphere was comfortable (I felt welcomed) and it's nice to see a record shop...

Consider the idea that your record could come with scratches, as there is no return policy. If it's your first record, I recommend buying a cleaning kit. Otherwise, you would find much consistent quality elsewhere (Referring to packaged records, besides used copies, which is an obvious given to scratches and other quality inspections needed to be checked prior to purchasing. I would still highly recommend Fresh Produce in Macon if you're willing to make the drive or just purchase your...
