Tune Town — Local services in Mankato

This is a good store with an excellent staff and nice owner (Carl). I go to this store every other weekend and it is like going back in a time machine. Carl and his team are gracious and nice. The minor drawbacks are that the store would benefit from more reissues that are remastered or expanded. The carrying cost would of course be more yet I think it would endear the die-hards (like me) that spend literally between 150 and up every two weeks. Also missing some great classics for example Duke Ellington at Newport is a must carry; Eric Clapton's Slowhand is a must carry; Frank Sinatra on blue vinyl (Ultimate Sinatra) and of course Charlie Parker all are must carries.

The only negative thing is I always find too many things I want & end up spending more than I intended lol. But I don't care because I always get a great deal & walk...

awesome shop. i live in texas working in mankato and decided to give this shop a try and instantly grew a soft spot for it. underestimated their selection in music, they have a wide variety of genres. the store itself is quite large, they have a basement of more music and dvds. the vast majority of their items are very reasonably priced. for RSD the employees were incredibly kind, they had refreshments and cookies for the customers and when it started pouring rain, they let us inside even before their opening hours to avoid getting rained on and even let us shop around while we waited for the rain to go away (except for rsd items). definitely looking forward to stop by more often on my days off to...
