Well worth a visit when digging in the East Bay! I go there for Jazz and funk records and always find something I like within my price range. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Is there anything more thrilling and joy-inducing than thumbing through rows and rows of records, old and new, with that undercurrent of anticipation for suddenly encountering that one album you’ve been hoping to find for who knows how long? Only you can answer that for yourself. For my part, a close second to that experience is discovering a gem of a record shop like Strictly Vinyl Records. You’ve already gathered that brevity is not my strong suit. But let my use of 50+ words (when 10 would do) emphasize how great this little shop is. The experience is pure joy. You’re greeted with a simple “hello” ?? as you walk in. Then given all the time you want to make your personal discoveries. Like many have notes already, the prices are fair and honest, the record conditions are pretty damn great, and the selection is so *so* good. I just got home and already can’t wait to go back. I’m excited for you to experience this for the first time like I did today. Honestly, I’m jealous. What are you waiting for? Get in there!

Dope spot! Great selection of rare and hard to find vinyl. He gets some hip-hop gems from time to time and sells them at a fair price. The store carries a lot of jazz, classic rock. soul, world music, etc etc. This is a must visit if you're a collector or just want to check out one of the best stores in Albany. Lots of great eats nearby as well. Dave really knows his stuff and is as solid as them come. Pay him a visit!

Nice little place with a good neighborhood vice. It was pretty lively when I was in there. Importantly, you can listen to the (unsealed) vinyl before you buy it so you don’t end up with a dud.

A cute tiny record shop with a very nice selection of records. Just enough for a relaxing session flipping through the vinyl. I went home with a Boston record for an honest price that plays great.

Loved the selection. I asked for a gift box and was told they don't sell those to customers but there was a huge stack of them under the counter in plain view. So I had to go elsewhere to search for a box to send these records I was gifting to my brother. I used to work customer service. It doesn't take much to make your clients happy.

This a great little vinyl only record store which occasionally has some pre-owned turntables, amps and receivers. The owner is a great guy to do business with!

Wonderful selection, plus super helpful & friendly service from the owner, Dave, when my son and I wandered in during our walk home from his guitar lesson. We live around the corner, so will be back!!
