Deep Thoughts Record Shop — Local services in Northampton

What a fantastic addition to the local scene! I have been here a couple of times now and I'm blown away by their selection of vinyl. The decor is super fun, bonus for all the cool local music (rad selection of local releases on cassette no less), a nice collection of used books to browse, CDs for those of us who still have a CD player in the car, and very nice people working both times I was in the shop.
