I hope that you can use the records and somebody will enjoy them

Support this shop yall! Its an open, quiet space thats easy to navigate and loaded with charm. Reminds me of some landmark record shops Ive visited in NYC and Chicago, where the stacks are packed with both recognizable and underground picks and are hallmarks of authentic record appreciation. I had no trouble finding what I wanted and the owner, a super knowledgeable and friendly guy, even offered to play records I was interested in while I browsed. This will be a regular haunt for me.

Awesome staff, awesome selection. some real gems here

The only record store in America Crass Lips Records finds worthy and weird enough for our entire bootleg collection of Americas strangest!! Owner has collected seriously the coolest records made in the last 30 years.

This is hands down the best record store in the country. They have a huge selection of genres, including the most diverse selection of experimental and independent music Ive ever seen. They carry a lot of releases by great Baltimore bands too. Jason and Dave are also friendly people and talented musicians. Theyve got records, cassettes, CDs/CDrs, anything you could imagine. I come here every time Im in Baltimore and have consigned some of my own tapes here.

They have all you need to groove!

Nicest owner! Found a bunch of awesome records at amazing prices- will definitely be back soon.

What an amazing experience. I was enthralled by the shop on my visit to Baltimore, and Ive made a few puchases by mail since then. Owner is so knowledgeable and passionate, it seems like hes actually listened to every record in his shop, and hes got interesting back stories behind many of them. He stands by what he sells with passion. Its like a farmers market for music.

The owner is a Yuppie, Go Back to Elliott City. What’s next a Starbucks inside the store?

The truest of vines, cannot think of a truer vine.

Great record shop.

Baltimores best record store. Great selection and fair prices.

This guy has a lot of great records. The hours can be hit or miss but its a really small operation. Ive always managed to buy 3 albums every time Ive been there. And always want to buy more

The only record store in 25 miles that had the Cat Stevens record I was looking for. Really friendly and helpful people. Really appreciate yall!

Went in there once to dig through the crates and two staff members were smoking cigarettes in the shop. Even worst, they tried to hide it. So easy to smell. Totally unacceptable, especially considering the price they ask for records way less than VG.Also: Nice attitude, dude. You really don’t care about any customer service, do you? Smoking in your shop is disgusting, who cares about your grading experience when your staff is smoking in the record shop? Loser.

The customer service was on point the store owner was able and ready to answer all questions they have a large selection of old school R&B at good prices...its a nice spot to take your time to dig in the crates.. also has a few crates of hip-hop...worth a stop in its a nice little vibe

Thanks for co producing Ornette: Made In America at the Parkway Theater. Loved it!!

Excellent collection.

I will generally say that this store was my favorite place in Hampden if not all of Baltimore. Bring the fam, bring the kids, they should have an evocative early childhood introduction to music that they will likely never hear anywhere else.The world presents us with opportunities to learn from places and people we happen to stumble across, and the True Vine is open to anyone who is willing to listen.

This place rulez! Ive picked a ton of Obscure Experimental/Noise LPS there since they opened at their new location a few months ago. Taking advantage of consigned personal collections by the likes of Heresee and other Baltimore heads. Most of the the titles Ive picked up are from the 2000-2010 American Noise scene, and are an average of $5-$7 a pop.

Records like you cant imagineBeatlesChicagoFunk, Rock, classic, etc......Affordable vinyl recordsTalk about memories!A must visit in Baltimore

The true vine is my favorite record shop in baltimore & one of my favorites ever. Almost every time i walk through the door something amazing that ive never heard before is playing on their stereo. They stock a lot of familiar titles but the level of discovering something unfamiliar there is giant. Ive spent many hours there & i still feel like i just scratched the surface. Everyone who works there is a musician & passionate about music. the last time i was there i sat near the desk listening to the music & the owner made me a coffee! awesome shop.

This place is the bomb! Jason is a deep soul with a heart of gold and a vast knowledge of so much but the music is eclectic and the vibes are contagious

The extensive and constantly changing selection, fair prices, and just generally excellent vibes make this the best (mostly used) record store in Baltimore.

Ever-changing collection of gems. Be mindful of erratic hours (call ahead). Worth the trouble!

Just the best. Period.

Unique records in great condition

A local treasure, I always find something interesting!

A damn decent record store.

My favorite Baltimore vinyl shop. Prices are good and always some interesting records every time I visit

Best selection of quality vinyl Ive seen in the area.

Just Ok. Went there on RSD, Didnt have any RSD releases? The shop and neighborhood is straight out of Portlandia. Hipster dads with pork pie hats and street kids. Good selection for such a small shop but prices were just to high for me to come back in the future. Bought a used record VG grade to G for $27, looked it up on discogs and ebay later and Mint and NM condition ones are going for $16 to $20.

This is an excellent record store, specializing in vinyl, though there is a good CD section as well. It is a place for the record loving community...with an emphasis (though not an exclusiveness) on unusual music, whether that means statistically unusual for an American record store (there are African, Malaysian, Sudanese, French, Indonesian records here, not reissues, the genuine article), or musically un-usual (there is noise, musique concrete, 20th century experimental composition, etc) as well as more normal things... Led Zeppelin, Bobby Brown, Little Feat, Baltimore Club, Hardcore, Zydeco, Early Music, Baroque music, horrible 80s 12s, etc.So, for Matthew, my fellow reviewer, does anyone in the 21st Century actually say things like, high on marijuana cigarettes?! Its a RECORD STORE, you putz! Its not a Christian Science Reading Room!The people who work there are, in my experience, super sweet, knowledgeable, friendly folks. I *have* noticed that people bring a lot of trips with them to record stores, afraid that they are being judged by the staff on their taste...I would like to assure those people that if it is stocked in a store, the staff WANTS YOU TO BUY IT.Take it easy, folks...jeez.

They dont get too mad if u dance in the store as long as youre a good dancer and its a good song and theyll pick you good records based on your favorites its like netflix but better and for records

Great selection of used vinyl.

Vast record selection and great service

Cant complain

Great place to visit

10/10 experience every time. I started shopping here when I was little and I’ll keep coming here whenever I get the chance.

Friendly owner who takes time with each customer.

Specializes in the more unusual records

This place sucks. The girl at the counter gave me attitude. She was wearing sunglasses inside (probably high on marijuana cigarettes) and was rude.

Perfect
