Shake It Records

This is an AWESOME record shop!!! It has one of the most diverse and expansive inventories in the tri-state area. Everything is cataloged and in alpha-numeric order which makes it easy to find what your looking for and removes the ""rumage sale"" aspect of record collecting. The only complaint that I have is that they apply the price label DIRECTLY TO THE ALBUM COVER!!! As a collector of vintage vinyl nothing is more irritating than geting home and ruining a ""home-run"" of a find by peeling back the price label and taking a bit of the cover with it. ARGH!!! They do make price lables without the aggressive adhesive as I have found even lesser record stores use. (Oh, and for the record heat guns, and hair driers don't help because glue residue stays behind.) Overall, FANTASTIC!!! I have been to hundreds of used record stores over the last 20+ years and this one ranks in the ten and would have gotten a 5 star from this user if not for the price lable issue; fix that and they're in the top three. Pros: Expansive Inventory Cons: Used records price label directly on album covers more

Shake It! Records has the most intelligent selection of music in Cincinnati. Their listening stations always have interesting and fun albums to sample, and their used CD collection is unbelievable. If you're addicted to vinyl, you'll find their downstairs section to have more than enough records to feed the beast. They have a great selection of new vinyl as well as the classic older stuff, including a really good jazz section. I go to Shake It! whenever I need to find something, or am just looking for something new. Pros: Great vinyl selection, cool staff, interesting sample stations, huge used CD section more

I rarely walk into a record store in this city and am able to find some of the most interesting and obscure items that I have found at The Best Little Record Store In Cincinnati, Shake It Records!
