Fantastic vinyl shop! Great prices used vinyls that are only $5 or $10. Solid selection of new vinyls and rare finds! The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. I was very lucky to find a band I was looking for and the record only had 500 printings! Cant wait to go back!

I love shopping for records here - its small but filled with treasures!! Friendly staff too!

Found an old box of records that were so-so, they took it off my hands and gave me some money. Little cramped, but you wont find some of these titles anywhere else. big up for having noise / industrial records ✌️

A deftly curated selection of new and used vinyl. Also sells rare VHS tapes, band t-shirts, and local Rochester releases. Fans of metal, punk, and indie will find a trove of cool stuff.

What an incredible record store! Terrific selection spanning multiple genres (punk, hip hop, jazz, indie, classic rock), and none of the junk that sits on shelves forever at bigger stores. Russ is always bringing in the best new music and stocking up with great, clean used records. A record store this good would stand out in a city like NY, Toronto, Chicago, etc. and to have it here in Rochester is a real gift.

You like metal? You found the place!

Nice cozy little record store. Staff very helpful. Exactly what a neighborhood record store should be. Ill be back

Great place for its size and has an excellent selection for a smaller place. Nice to not have to feel overwhelmed and to be able to talk to someone who knew what they were talking about. You wont find everything, but what you do find is good stuff. I liked this place a lot.

Bet.This place is great- good selection of new LPs and underground stuff, awesome place to pick up local music. Russ the owner has helped me pick out records for gifts a bunch of times, and it has always been the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Great little shop in the South Wedge neighborhood specializing in hard-to-find punk, alternative, metal. Also has a great selection of new releases. If youre looking for obscure used stuff, this is your spot.

Good selection at reasonable prices.

Wonderful selection of records and more. Russ goes above and beyond to help you find exactly what youre looking for.

Authentic small shop run by a personable staff. Great for a look through to find some new music or some great classics.👌

Dig the selection. Dig the used CD bins. Owners cool and always happy to support the business.

They had exactly what we were looking for and at reasonable prices. Fun record shop!

Fantastic selection of less common LPs. Staff is eager to help and very knowledgeable.

Came in on RSD, found what I was looking for with some wu tang playing, the dude at the counter was super nice and helpful. Good time.

Love Needledrop Records. Nestled in the Southwedge they have an extensive vinyl selection ( new and used). The staff are super friendly and always willing to answer any questions. I always feel welcome here.

Stopped in quick to look at used records. The service is great. I found an old 7 single by a local band. I asked if I could hear it before buying and while the guy was putting it on the turntable I remembered I dont have an adapter. I asked if they have any for sale, the guy gave me a used one he has lying around for free. I will definitely be going back. Great store.

One of the best record stores in Rochester! Grabbed some amazing records there! Great for fans of Metal and Punk but also other genres!

Cool little record shop. Found some good stuff. Would definitely return.

Awesome selection across the board. Highly recommended to those those looking for punk, indie, and hardcore records you wouldnt expect to find in stores. Also, the people there are very knowledgable and friendly, and usually willing to chat about records. A+

Great shop, great owner with an extensive knowledge on music. Able to do special orders and has a lot of new and obscure inventory in stock.
