Blue Arrow Records

Exactly the kind of vintage record store we want. Fantastic vibes, great selection, and friendly cats to help you make the right selection, or just accept scritches. Check hours to make sure they are open. A real treasure in the Waterloo district.

Tremendous selection of LP's....always a wonderful experience visiting this beautiful shop...

I stayed and shopped for about an hour.. I couldn't find anything at first until I looked in his just arrived used record section and saw several NM gems.. Found a NM original Fleetwood Mac - Rumours LP for a good price along with an original copy of Dire Strait's 5th album.. They even had Steve Miller Band's 1969 - Brand New World album.. I bought maybe 4 records.. The highlight of my experience was the excellent pricing of 1970s & 1980s albums.. I dont think I saw anything ridiculously overpriced.. Only low point was the small HipHop/Rap section which only featured 12inch singles and maybe only 1 full length used hip hop record..

You got to love a place that has a dedicated ECM jazz section. Quality soundtrack section as well. Good digging for essentials with some rare stuff mixed in. Most records I pulled were VG+ or better and VPI cleaned (always check your vinyl before buying).

One of the best record shops in Ohio! The selection is awesome and very fairly priced. My son and I always make it a point to shop here when we are in Cleveland. Oh, the cats are adorable too. 😊
