Southern Fried Vinyl Records / Media Mania of Helen

Great store to check out if you’re in the area. Great vinyl selection, can be slightly overpriced but not more than expected for the location. People complaining about the overly expensive stuff i think don’t understand that a lot of it is imported and that’s just how much is costs. I bought a van halen single there, great condition, would definitely stop again if i’m nearby.

Vinyl selection is limited and many selections overpriced. The most unfriendly cashier, void of any customer service skills, rung up my items. While ringing up the albums, she carelessly let two albums slide off the counter, dropping to the shelf below the counter, damaging a corner of one of the records - she never apologized, she didn’t care. Spent over a hundred bucks and not even a “thank you” for my patronage. I will NOT be back! This establishment does not deserve your hard earned cash!

We stopped in here on the way to Axebilly’s, which is right behind them on the strip. They had a good, wide variety of comics, records, CDs, movies, and essentially any media type you could think of. I found a good many deep cuts in a variety of genres at really decent prices, and the staff was also very friendly.

Neat store with limited selection. They have more than just records with a friendly staff.

I didn’t have the time to shop, but had fun looking at rare albums I hardly ever cross in other shops. Some of the things that interested me I felt were priced accordingly. Now, I didn’t inspect the media quality out of respect that I have been tubing on the river I that town this location is. I will most definitely look to make another visit. Not to toot any horns, but I’m an extensive collector and spend lots of countless hours of the day reading and learning about music, albums and pressings. Worth a stop. My first impression review to a real collector.
