Co-Op Records Pekin

Very friendly and decently organized. I get its clearance, but I wish the clearance CDs were sorted by the music genre. I asked where 3 different types of CDs were, and although they didn't have one of them, he instantly found the others I was looking for. Definitely affordable, and you can usually find a nice little gem in the clearance, again tho they're put up there randomly, so its tedious to go through, but it may be worth it. Overall, nice place, I stop in there every once in a while. Not many CD places are open anymore so its nice. :)

Honestly, I don't know how this store stays open. It's gotta be pipes and that kratom stuff. It definitely isn't the music. The cd selection is pitiful. I haven't found a cd there in years. Every time I go it's the same stuff still sitting there thats been there for years, that no one wants. The hip-hop section is laughably bad. They haven't done a good restock or bought some good used collections in years. The vinyl gets a tad more attention, but it's just stocked with the same ol stuff most music collectors bought in the mid to late 90s or before. Nirvana, Alice in chains, Slipknot, Pink Floyd Motley Crue, Iron Maiden. That kind of stuff. Super basic. So don't expect to find any gems. Everything has been THOROUGHLY combed through. If you're into basic rock/metal that was popular before the year 2000, you might find something. If you're into anything eclectic like say punk or hardcore, hip-hop, indie singer/songwriter, goth/darkwave, industrial/electronic, any type of extreme metal, soundtracks, etc etc. You know, stuff real music collectors are looking for nowadays. Don't go here. Your best bet is to make the trip to Waiting Room Records or Shandi's. I used to really love this store, even worked there in my younger years. But it's a shell of what it used to be, and it's a major bummer.

This place is fantastic, they have a wild range of nick nacks, as well as an incredible selection of music in all forms. They even have a little something extra in the back for adults.

Was in town from Florida (raised in this area)...so made some time to hit this place. Old school music store with bunch of cool music collectibles (posters/shirts/etc) and reasonably priced. If you're into that kinda vibe, certainly worth the trip.

Awesome music store! Has a great selection of hand curated albums. The owner is a great guy who knows his stuff. Great selection of metal and other various music, plus some movies.
