Central Square Records

What a fun shop!

Absolute best t-shirt selection for the Gen Xers and readers in the area. Great, unique prints. What seems to be a pretty nicely sized vinyl collection for this area. Tons of fun gifts. Some music supplies. Great vibe and enough space that you don’t feel claustrophobic!

This is always a must-see when I visit 30A. The staff is super friendly and almost always have what I'm looking for. Big collection of vinyl and other gifts - and I agree with another review that it's a spacious store, so you don't feel like you're crammed in with tons of people while you shop.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Such cool stuff. I was looking for a couple of records my son had requested. The team there ordered everything that I mentioned and had it at the store the next day. Wonderful service. Thanks !

I visited this store for the first time recently and I was highly impressed! Great selection of vinyl records and extra items. I did purchase an ISO indie exclusive record from here that I had been wanting! The staff was very friendly and even offered information about RSD. I definitely recommend visiting this place if you love physical music!

I love this little record store. This is a great place to look for vinyl but they have so much more to offer. The staff is awesome, I love taking with those guys. They are super friendly and very helpful too. Whether you're visiting the area or you're a local, put a stop here on your agenda.

The coolest store on 30A, by a mile. I always make time to visit this shop and I don’t even have a record player anymore. Firstly their collection is VAST, just don’t expect anything super popular to be in stock because things always fly off the shelves. That being said, they also have the coolest paraphernalia (puzzles, notebooks, pins, guitar straps) I’ve ever seen. Such a fun venue!

My first time visiting was with my daughter for Record Store Day on Black Friday. Even though we waited 2.5 hours outside in the cold it was definitely worth it.
²Owners and staff were friendly and they came outside before the store opened to let us know what to expect and how the store was organized, they even provided us with coffee and donuts while we waited.
Such a great store, Large variety of vinyls, t-shirts, posters and other gifts for music lovers. I got everything my daughter wanted and purchased 2 for myself to start my own collection. Will definitely be going back soon!

Decent prices, amazing employees.

For being independent and in the area it is, it has decent prices. On average, the records were around 30-40 dollars. If you are running on a budget, though, there is a section in the back for used vinyl and a 5 dollar deal for records. The 5 dollar stuff, however, is mostly older bands. Amazingly, the store sells lesser-seen records, such as The Pixies, The Melvins, Alex G, etc.

There are also a ton of CDs for sale, but I didn't look at them long enough to see their average prices.

The band t-shirts were about 30-35 dollars. The shirts are somewhat rare, but still golden, versions of what you'd usually find anywhere else.

The store also sells a few guitars (acoustic, acoustic-electric, electric, ukelele) and equipment such as amps, strings, etc. Guitars average from $200-300.

Band posters are also sold for 10 dollars. They also sell prints for a cheaper price if you don't have enough room or a high enough budget.

Staff is friendly and patient, and especially peaceful.

Definitely at least stop by and at least check it out. It's a very clean, calm, and overall great place to just browse around, at least. Even walking in blindly, you never know what you might find.

Very cool place ...loads of Cds and vinyl. They have musical instruments and amps as well as strings and other accessories. Posters, stickers and lots of tshirts.....plus lots of other stuff...Its well worth it to stop in and check it out.

Vinyl/CD shop located above bookstore. They have new and old records, a few guitars, amps, ukes, cool stickers, games, mugs, toys.... just about something for everyone. Support music stores!

We visited this place last night out in Santa Rosa beach. I thought the staff was really helpful and even taught me about some new jazz artists while I was looking for records. They seem to have a wide variety of vinals and even CDs. I'll definitely be returning. Nice place and not to overpriced. I got a sticker for my water bottle too shydd.

I LOVED this store!! It’s unique, well stocked and organized, and just overall so fun. Highly recommend.

We stopped into central square records today and had a wonderful experience. The people working today were extremely helpful with record selection knowing what I was looking for kudos to you

Really great record store with more than just vinyl. Great service as well. Nice collection of new and used vinyl. We wound up buying some Brazilian jazz and then one of the owners showed me this cool old suitcase that had blue tooth speakers in it. It sounded great and a nice funky unique speaker. Worth the visit !

Visited today and the staff was friendly. Great selection of vinyl, and other vintage items. As a local, we normally visit and get things from time to time. Do have a great view to have coffee on the balcony. If you have a different experience let me know and I will change my post.

Took a quick day trip to Seaside and discovered this hidden gem. Super fun selection of records, shirts, posters, even guitars and little amps! Excellent prices and very nice staff. Will visit more often for sure!

Love this place. We hit it every chance we get to the beach! We grow our vinyl collection each time! I love that my kids WANT to visit!

Cool record store. Not terribly pricey and lots of unique items. They carry mostly vinyl with some CDs and even cassettes mixed in. Used selection was lacking, but that's to be expected at a popular place like this. Definitely worth checking out.

I absolutely adore this shop it’s fun, hip, and just plain awesome !!!!!! My all time favorite ! They have a fun selection of music and even surprise grab bags which I always get everytime I visit along with some stickers or enamel pins. Artsy stuff galore and great gifts for just about every one. The vibes are rad !

Very cool music shop! Vinyl, CDs, T-shirts and more!
