Shake It is a good store. Phil's in NKY was good too. Is it still there?
I am fortunate here to live near (one of if not) the biggest record store in the country, Bananas. I have heard it is the biggest.

I am not a vinyl guy, but I have shopped there and at two other record stores within two miles of that store. Again, I am lucky to live here. The OP may want to make a pilgrimage just to check out the record stores here. Oh, and the sun and the beaches, too.

We used to have a store called Recordsmith that was killer. We still have a Hasting's though, and I go there quite regularly.

I get most of my records from the flea market by the Warren County Prison.... In Dayton there isn't much to speak of anymore I guess. Omega Records in the Oregon Dist. is ok... 2nd and Charles...
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I buy very little music anymore. When I do it is usually something obscure that would be hard to find at a record store. So I just find it online.
When I was much younger and bought a lot of music I spent a lot of time at used record (CD) stores just browsing around to see what i could find.

When we moved into the house we live in now, the previous owner had left behind a big stack of LP's in the garage. They were in great shape, and some were classic albums. (Beatles, Led Zepplin, Elvis...) But we have no record shop around here, so I sold them to a friend of a friend for $50.00. I've always wondered what they would have been worth because the guy had this look on his face like he was stealing.

Shake It Records in Northside has been by go-to spot since my mom started letting me take the metro out of the suburbs and toward the city. I've given that company thousands of dollars....easily. They also sell kidrobot, so that's a pretty decent bonus.

We used to have a place here called Town & Campus. They sold vinyl and also CDs and they always carried the more indie/underground stuff and the local flavors as well. If you were a punk rock kid this was especially your place to go, but Deadheads and other hippy variants loved it, and so did the rap aficionados. It was a great store that had a little of everything and a great atmosphere. It is now a convenience store,w hich is cool and all, but I miss the old record store from my youth.
