Shake It Records

What an amazing hidden gem. I called and requested help with finding an album. I didn't know a title, just a some. He quickly found it and held it for me for pickup. When I arrived the 3 gentleman were all kind and helpful. This is a great place for unique gift ideas. I definitely recommend stopping in.

Fab shop. Great selection of vinyl, CDs and cassettes. For vinyl, there are new and used items. Everything is well marked. I like the listening station. Helpful staff. Lots of space to explore (not cramped, like some music shops). Parking can be tricky. I like to park on residential streets East of Hamilton and then walk over.

Excellent selection, including deep cuts, rare finds and up and coming artists. The creaky wood floors and hand written signage captures the essence of every great record store in existence. Every time I have been here, it has been relatively busy, so don't wait to find that hidden gem you've been looking for! Go now and snag it before someone else does!

My bf is currently in the outrageously hectic, time consuming process of selling his collection of comic books.. Naturally, we are beginning this journey locally versus on the big ole world wide web and this is where we began! 🧐 🤔 Anyhow, long story short, this is a really cool place and there is so much awesome stuff in there! (If, that is, we went in there to buy..) Anywho.. Maybe, we should have called first, or maybe they could have certain employees' work days/ hours, or even the contact information of said employees that have certain interest in certain areas/ buying particular merchandise.. Either way, that could have saved us a trip, or helped someone add some pretty cool comics to their collection 😉😀

This place is AWESOME!! So many genres - they have anything you're looking for! Books, comics, cds, cassette tapes, dvd's, vhs, all the things. Staff are very pleasant, including the dog!

Tons of records from every genre, new and used, to sift through (including a whole basement full of jazz!). Plus they have used movies and books available too.

Contacted this shop at least 6 times about purchasing/shipping an album. No replies to emails. No returned phone calls. Might be a great shop if you're local but not if you need an item shipped.
