The Stacks Record Shop

Love the vibe, collection and overall community that is built through this shop. They have vinyl records, 45s, tapes, CDs, toys and other goodies. They have lots of hip hop, rnb, funk, soul and jazz. Sometimes they even have special events. They contribute to the culture of downtown Hayward.

A small shop with a whole lot of LPs and a large selection of 45s! Cool tunes were playing while I browsed through their many genres. Very nice prices and friendly staff too. Check em out!

Came here looking for cds and they had a few to pick from.The gentleman who worked behind the counter was kool as hell . Was my first time going place was clean and had a good vibe. Go check em out if you are looking for records and cds.

Maybe it was my fault or maybe it shouldn't even be an item that should be sold. Purchased a collectible record, in a good playable state very valuable $$$. I thought I was getting a good deal, but turns out this record has scratches all over. It's in a playable state, but really it's just a collectable paper weight. Something I can say is a rare find but not really pleasant to use. Which makes me think what's the point of even having it? All in all, feel like my trust was betrayed. Why even sell the record in the first place without at least a disclaimer. Perhaps I should hold every record I shop for in the light to go through thorough inspection, not quite the retail experience I want to have. On the redeeming end a couple of the cheaper records I picked up played and sounded relatively well. My only gripe was how dirty they were but I suppose that's not too uncommon. EDIT: For owner to see regarding recent reply. The record is not from the bottom. It is a $65 record that was displayed *top shelf* Gene Ammons Boss Tenor prestige w/ yellow label.

Finally checked out Stacks record shop! I have been clearing out the garage and needed to make space. I spoke to Gabe and he was kind enough to let me donate all my old vinyl. Gabe is easygoing and cool to talk to. We spoke about old mutual friends and the days of djing in the bay area. Can't wait to come back and dig through all the vinyl! Gabe thanks again for letting me donate my records, I'm sure you'll have a good use for them
