I am so glad I found this record store. I went in looking for a box to safely ship my sons valuable LP collection across country. I came out with a renewed sense of community. This is a tiny record store with a huge warehouse and online presence, to go with their huge hearts.When inquiring about the best way to pack LPs, employee Elvis took me in the warehouse and showed me exactly how they carefully wrap and pack stacks of records for shipment all over the world. He then offered to wrap and pack my sons collection for a nominal fee so that I could ship them myself without buying all the supplies. They didnt have to do that for me, it was purely a community service and has renewed my faith in the value added by patronizing a small business over a chain store (which would NEVER have even offered).Smartly decorated and well organized, this little store is tucked away just south of Redfield Road in the Scottsdale Airpark. A hidden gem indeed. They have been buying and selling vinyl online for over 20 years. Only in the last 2 years have they opened a physical store, and Im thrilled they are doing well. I will be back!
Super cool place to visit. The store front was not huge square footage wise but it is amazing how large of a selection of records fit in that amount of space! You can actually spend quite a while just browsing. We bought several albums while there, both new and used. Apparently they have a very large online selection as well. It is definitely worth a trip to check outif youre in the north Scottsdale area.
Great little shop. Huge supply of record collection, though most of them are online. Good selection in shop. They sell record players and equipment as well. Guys they were chill. Will stop again when the chance arises.
What a find. Elvis and Nick have a hidden gem here. Great guys and their store is incredible. I wont going anywhere else now.
Totally fair and respectful staff, embarrassed myself when was quoted the price for my collection definitely recommend this spot for music and great costumer service...
The store front is awesome. Well worth the drive. They ultrasonically clean everything and accurately grade. Really impressed by the selection. All the staff Ive encountered is super friendly as well. I went in because I was in the area and needed a record cleaned, which they did for 2 bucks, and walked out with 4 vintage Jazz records and an OG beach boys 45 that Id been looking for forever. This will def be my go to when I need records cleaned and wanna dig a bit.
It was very interesting. I learned a lot of music triviaThe person was very nice. I would definitely recommend them
Had a amazing selection of vinyl! My son and I were there from 2 to 3 on 4/18 . We picked up 4 new albums. The guy working was very friendly and went out of his way to help. Great store.
I think they were pretty fair in giving me a decent price on my vinyl. Or so I think. Ha. It was a pleasant experience.
Travelling through the southwest we stopped in Scottsdale for a few days, and I needed you find a record store. Found the Vinyl Record Dude and drove up to his shop.Its not in a typical strip mall, so dont be surprised when you show up in an office park. Its legit.The store front is small with a very good selection of pretty much every genre. If you dont find it in the front, he has thousands of records in the back as he primarily sells online.On to the important stuff... Price and quality. Ive shopped at record stores all around the country, and this store has some of the most reasonable prices for used vinyl. Records are graded fairly, and the owner will play it for you if you want a listen. I found an as is (like it looked bad) Rolling Stones album and he put it on his turntable and it sounded great. He even gave it an ultrasonic cleaning.I bought four albums (3 used 1 new) for about $54.If youre in Scottsdale, stop in to the Vinyl Dude. Browse, talk vinyl, buy and enjoy.
Great service and selection!! Wish I would have hit 1st!!!! Definitely goe here 1st.
Just ordered a Buddy Holly Box set from them through Amazon. Very impressed by the care and quality the item was packed and shipped to me. Shows that they are ture professionals who care about the music formats they sell to us consumers. Thanks vinyl record dude! You guys rock!
Love love love this place! The owner was incredible and super helpful. I will be back again. MUST GO!
Great shop in a tight spot. Even with its limited inventory, I still found cool stuff.
Very well kept, used vinyl. Good quality.
Very knowledgeable and passionate staff.
A little out of the way but a huge supply of Records. Elvis has about 40 years of working knowledge of every band, label and piece of music. They also buy records as long as theyre in good shape. They sell records to people all over the world!
A Hidden Gem tucked behind the Scottsdale Airport, with great selection and better disposition to help you locate those obscure albums only you crave.
Extremely well organized! Great selection of records that are good quality at a great price. Definitely one of the best record stores in AZ!
Great shop and great selection. Friendly owner. Recommend!
They are ok. But picky. I mean panicky.
Very helpful and friendly.Very helpful to look in their inventory to help find what you’re looking for.
Helped me out with turntable issues. Highly Recommended!
Great selection, great prices, and awesome staff!
Great place to buy or sell records
Great place to find vinyl.
Very unprofessional how you speak to your customers online when there is a concern regarding an item that was purchased here. Will never use them again .
Careful here. Spend too much time browsing and youll spend all your money lol. Great selection of new and value items. Art on the wall and sounds out the speakers are stellar making this a go to spot for vinyl in Scottsdale.
Fine store and helpful and willing staff.
Enjoyed browsing, buying, and just hanging out
The people that work here are extremely friendly and the records are priced fair. I will be back soon!
The new store looks awesome and the staff is helpful. Highly recommended.
Perhaps the best selection in the state! Staff is extremely knowledgeable, too.
Great little shop! Elvis is the man!
Initially went to their location in North Scottsdale only to find it was not a retail store. The man gave me an address in the north end of Phoenix for a store that carried all kinds of used stuff and they had quite a few records in the back all squeezed together. Apparently thats where the rwcord guy sells his stuff. It was difficult to flip through the way they were packed together but I got some good deals!!
Great selections
Dude gives you a great price if your selling
For those interested, this is not a store. This is the physical location from which Vinyl Record Dudes online operation is ran.
Great! Elvis and Shaun are great!
Great place to sell records or purchase online. The owners know thier stuff.

The best place locally, and around the world, to buy vinyl!
Great service!
Helpful and knowledgeable
Come sell your records to Vinyl Record Dude
