Great little find! We happened to be in the area and we can't pass up a record store. Good selection and we found some must haves for our collection. The owner was very nice and the most adorable sales associate helping (his beautiful cat). We felt the prices were very reasonable. We WILL be back!!!

I noticed the positive reviews online for Elizabeth's Records, so I stopped in as I was looking for a few records for Christmas. There was a full section of Christmas records for $1 each. Most were used, some new!
I've been to a few other record stores in Columbus, and this one is a little smaller (but still has quite the variety) and it's also fairly priced. The non-Christmas records I purchased were $16-20. There was a nice cat near the window, and the owners were very kind. Highly recommend!
As a note, this is on a small strip of fun Clintonville shops, a movie theater, etc. So, you can make a fun trip of it.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Joseph V.Philadelphia, PA091Aug 2, 2022
I wasn't expecting much when I first visited this little shop. But after going through their bins, I was very impressed with their selection! I found a lot of titles that I don't normally see in the surrounding shops (and there are many nearby) and the prices are very reasonable. I like 45's as well, and they had a bunch of those too.
Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I make sure to drop by this small but mighty shop!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 16, 2021
I love this little record store. I've been there a few times now, and both times I've found a stack of records. They have a lot of "classic rock" and 80's pop along with many hidden gems. That's why I flip through almost everything from A-Z. This last visit I found Walker Brothers and Ween! They also have a nice country selection filled with old school greats. And they have a friendly shop cat! Oh, and masks are still required. They do provide masks, if you need one.

Found this store by chance with my best friend and we were like, "Hey, your name is Elizabeth, we should stop in!"
We did and the owner was super kind and chatted with us about his shop. We didn't purchase anything that day but left with it in mind to visit again in the future.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Freedom C.Columbus, OH11122139Dec 28, 2019
Just left this record store. The place is AWESOME in so many ways. I found some good albums and the prices were fair. The artwork and memorabilia were also great.
Bought some Motown, Bluegrass, Old Willie, Old Johnny Cash and some Rock & Roll. I could've easily spent hundreds in here, in a very short time.
The main reason that I didn't give five stars is because this place smells SO STRONGLY of cat pee. I can't believe more people didn't mention that in their reviews I love cats. I loved meeting the cat in the shop. I have three of my own cats...just so everyone doesn't think I'm Cat Shaming or Hating. But when they pee inappropriately, it's overpowering and unpleasant. It definitely caused me to leave sooner than I wanted to.
Another reason is that despite the other reviews saying the people here were friendly, we were barely spoken to while we were here.
But every single one of my records had been checked and play beautifully.
I have such mixed feelings about this place.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I know this is an old review and I'm sorry that you had a bad experience.
Jonesy (the cat) had some health issues around that time, and it admittedly was unpleasant-smelling for a couple of weeks, as temporarily rehoming him wasn't something we could do. Fortunately, once the medical issue was resolved, that went away.
Again, sorry for your experience, but I did want to address that issue! - Beth F.Columbus, OH0191Jun 4, 2022
Love this little gem of a record store on Indianola strip! Great selection (I like jazz and classic), and always different stock!

Very cool little shop. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, there are album covers all over the walls. Mostly vinyl here, in great shape and decently priced. A few CDs. Lots of jazz, lots of rock, plenty of more unusual stuff. I'll be back, bringing Sweetie, and maybe we can rebuild our collections.

Great selection of appropriately-priced used LPs run by a guy that knows more about music and records than anybody really needs to.
And be sure to check the $2 wall. There are lots of great finds there, and only $5 for three! Plus, 10% off if you follow them on the face books.
It's a crate digger's delight!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
