what a pop-up looks like

1,000+ records in the bins: house, garage, disco, freestyle, electro and more, from the 70s to now.
Most under $10. Priced to end up on your turntable, not on a wall.
Every record is play-tested and cleaned before it hits the crates.
A proper soundsystem so you can hear what you're buying.
Walk-ups always welcome. Bring your want list.
