Record Collector

Are you kidding me this place was awful. Typical record store employees worse than comic book or toy shop employees. Play some obscure bullshit that only they would like that. That’s why they’re not DJs. Not one anything you’re looking for in particular not even a if you need anything, please let me know. Customer service is nonexistent. As someone who DJ for over 20 years in major hotspots, I decided to give it a gander. I don’t even know why people were in there. There was absolutely nothing that was retro other than reprinted, posters, and records that you can buy online if anything maybe two dozen old records. But you know what it’s Iowa thank God I don’t live here and I was only there for maybe 1015 minutes because there was nothing else that helped me to stay any longer.

I’ve purchased here a couple times and I keep finding interesting albums that I am falling in love with. Prices are very reasonable. The setting is of course a college record store. I found the help to be kind and respectful as well.

Record Collector is a truly classic record store. I can't think of many other shops that have as high of a standard as they do for both selection and condition. Their thoroughness is evident and the owners are top notch people. RC is easily one of the best record shops in the midwest, even compared to those in much larger cities. Don't sleep on it!

This shop is a great stop if you love music! The owners and employees are helpful in finding records and with questions about record equipment. They have a wide selection in a variety of genres. We are lucky to have such a gem of a store in our community.

Definitely worth the stop. I came in because they were listed as a Daptone dealer on the record labels website. Unfortunately I didn't find an abnormal amount of Daptone, or any of the Daptone 7" records they're famous for. I was also hoping to find Daptone accessories and didn't see any, like the 45 rpm branded weights. However, it is a good store, I did find a new sealed record and a used record. I could have bought more, but the prices were a little high, and I owned most of the stuff, it didn't go too deep, lot of the basic popular stuff and modern stuff. One thing I saw was a lot of representation of local artists, which I really like and respect when a store helps their local scene. Staff were very friendly, and helpful. I overheard someone getting a recommendation and they were cared for well. Great store for the area, I'd stop in and check them out again if I were nearby.
