The most amazing record shop I have ever visited. The owner is an awesome person and I am so glad that I met him today. I went to get some vinyl for my friend back home in Dhaka, Bangladesh and am truly grateful to my brother who took me to Round Again Records. This place is teeming with gems of yesteryears and I believe you will definitely find what you are looking for and more! I hope I can come back again to Providence and visit the shop just to spend time and chat with the wonderful owner and listen to some music on the jukebox 😁

I like this store because the male clerk up front plays good music to sing along to when you are there and he is frequently singing himself.

Great selection of music from all genres, big jazz selection, owner on site, friendly, made a turntable recommendation

Great shop and very knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t know why there’s a bunch of reviews saying the owner is rude, I’ve only had great experience where he is very helpful and knowledgeable. All I can say is be respectful and you will receive respect back and understand it’s an old school shop (primarily jazz, blues, and classic rock)

Just going to throw this out there--as far as Im concerned, if you are the proprietor of a bookstore or a record store, it is your not only your right, but your RESPONSIBILITY to be grump, a curmudgeon, a belligerent old bridge-troll. If you want bubbly customer service, go buy your records at Urban Outfitters.

Shop has a good selection of records and some are priced fairly. However the owner is just miserable. Maybe if you’re over the age of 50 he might be polite?

Went in looking for cassette tapes which they didnt have. But poked around a bit and found some gems

Went in here with my boyfriend and felt VERY unwelcomed as soon as we stepped foot. the owner sighed at us as if we were unwanted and would get up and fix the position of the vinyls anytime we sifted through them, even though we were very gentle and careful. my boyfriend had accidentally dropped a collection of 45’s in a box, helping pick them up and the owner groaned at him took the 45’s from him and started fixing it himself muttering words under his breath that i knew were fired at my VERY apologetic boyfriend. he had asked the owner a question politely to which he gave a loud no, multiple times, then mocked the way my boyfriend wanted to know if apple pay was welcome. gave a very disrespectful send off too, just an “ok. BYE.” very petty. will not be going here again, the only good thing was finding a brand new version of a day at the races on vinyl for cheap.

Very cool record store!

Very rude owner after my husband and my kids and neighbors daughter went there today... told my husband to hurry up and purchase what he wanted so my Husband left cause he felt very unwanted there .... maybe he shouldn’t own a store if he can’t be polite to his customers

Owner is a curmudgeon. Sometimes has some decent records at a decent price.

Fun, community focused shop with the weekend hang in full display. Excellent jazz section, lots to view and love. Recommended.

Great spot. Have been shopping here for years! Steve is terrific!

Been shopping here for 20 yrs.Best selection and pricing on lps.No junk lps to sift through looking for gems.All categorized,easy to find records that are all near mint or sealed.

If you dont like this store or feel the owners rude, its probably because you dont belong in there. The owner knows his music & is actually a very polite & good hearted man. Most importantly he has an ear & eye for good music. There a great selection of Rock music along with an even better selection of well priced obscure jazz LPs. Ive found gems in this store, stuff that people would fight over in bigger cities. Definitely one of the select stores I like to go digging for good records.

Great prices, great selection of records I havent seen anywhere else. The owner didnt bother me at all. Way better prices than a certain shop on College Hill.

Best for music. Always has been a great store for the past 30+years. Well worth checking out either on line or store visit.

Small quiet place. Had a good collection of vinyl.

The owner of this store takes supreme pride in every aspect of the business, his humor is dry and some people just dont get it so they resort to unfair descriptions of his personality. His business is his life and he wants everyone to appreciate how important music is in any format! He is as important to the preservation of rare music in Providence as the Independent Man is to the Rhode Island State House. Steve Capaldi

Steve is a great guy with one of the longest running stores in the area for 25+ years, you will see that he lets go of good music for a good price. A lot of locals and visitors might not understand his dry character and witty responses to some customers who usually ask stupid questions or act just stupid, in the stupid world we live in now.. Its all about the learning experience and true passion to listen to music...if you are looking for a treatment instead of record shopping, go to Newbury Comics and enjoy your day. Round Again Records always caters to the real listener.

Called to sell a rock record collection and had me come down . Drove 15 miles to have him thumb through and say not interested without really looking at them. No offer and these were Beatles, Floyd, type albums . Some sell on eBay 200 plus. Anyway he waisted my time

The person working there is extremely rude and unwelcoming. Definitely never going back

Used buy stereo equipment from Round Again in the 90s. My Philips turntable lasted 25+ years (used)! Lets not forget record store owners are trying just as hard,to locate the vinyl you want....Learn from your elders dont blast them. Round Again is Small but big on quality.

Great selection and prices. A great place for music lovers.

Went in once and was appalled at the open rudeness of the owner. I have no interest in spending money at a place where the owner is that obnoxious. It’s a wonder he’s still in business.

Rude owner who didn’t like the way I flipped through the LPs (!)Walked out. Plenty of other places to find records.

Great little shop with an eclectic collection.

Best record store EVER

Ok, let me say that the owner has always been cordial to me. He does have a dry sense of humor and may come off as being curt to those who get their feelings hurt easily. The man is there, and has been there for 38 years, to sell records in great condition, at fair prices. There are a few touchy feely puppies and rainbows record stores close by, and in the greater Providence area. You can stick to those if thats your cup of tea, or may be a bit thin skinned. Its ok you wont be judged :) They have records too, many of the same and the price is sometimes DOUBLE that of Round Again. Also, some of the conditions of those wouldnt even be allowed in his store. Every time I walk in, hes hard at work CLEANING his used records on a record cleaning machine. When I buy from there, all I have to do is a quick dry dusting with an anti static brush and cue it up. Just about every other place I get my used wax from, I have to do a thorough wet cleaning on my own machine before I even consider playing it. Very often, I find used records in stores, and from dealers, that just got visually looked at and plopped out for sale. Some of these Vinyl Vipers get records for next to nothing and sometimes free, and just rush them out to sell. I feel 100% CONFIDENT with EVERY used record I buy from Round Again. These negative reviews that say hes overpriced are just plain BS. Thats unless they are buying junk for a buck or two at thrift stores, or the flea. My guess is they got mad the red carpet wasnt rolled out for them when they walked in the door. This guy knows the business and if something is priced high its for a darn good reason. Be brave, visit, and see for yourself, or not... More for me :)

Good prices,great guy..very happy with the business

All kinds of music on disks, vinyl and a bunch of other stuff. 👍

Round Again is, for me, the best record store in Rhode Island. Plenty of genres available and Steve is very picky about the condition of what he will sell. The great majority of records there are priced within anybodys budget. There are also interesting collectables coming and going. If you go here and leave unsatisfied, you just arent into records. As to the negative reviews, if you want touchy feely, go get therapy.

The owner is extremely rude and belligerent. I have never had anyone talk to me disrespectfully the way he did.

Owner was extremely arrogant and rude. I would suggest that everyone take their business elsewhere.

Great records priced right

The owner gave a lot of attitude when i was checking to make sure the records where in good condition

Often rude. Probably good selection.

The owner is extremely rude and unfriendly. The records are overpriced for the selection

The owner is a jerk and the records are overpriced and not impressive.

Wow, I was shocked at how awful the staff or owner behaved while I was in this store. Besides that, selection has zero to brag about. Do not spend a minute of your time going here.

Lots of choices

Owner is a dick
