Everybody’s Records

I finally decided to get rid of my album collection from the 60’s. Michael was very knowledgeable and took time to inspect what i had. They gave me a fair offer and we saw a lot of music that we will return to buy.
A great experience and a pleasure to do business with Everybody’s.
Thanks

I loved my visit to Everybody’s, it is a well known spot that I had several people telling me to visit. They have a huge selection of vinyl both new and used, contemporary and oldies. I enjoyed my time digging and they had a small folk band playing, which made the experience even more awesome. Prices are retail value and didn’t see any crazy deals. I definitely want to visit again when I’m in the area.

I came in here yesterday to pickup some vinyls as a birthday gift and it was my first time there.
I love everything about this place!
1. The atmosphere was pretty eclectic and had the cozy feel of a household basement. I also was digging the incense.
2. The music selection included everything from old to new and all major genres in vinyl, cassette, CD.
3. SO ORGANIZED. I appreciate being to easily navigate an organized store, and this makes shopping here easy whether you just want to browse or if you already know what you’re looking for.
4. VERY reasonable prices! I chose to come here for vinyls because all of the positive reviews on their pricing and they rang true.
I left with a successful purchase and the gift was well-​received :) I am looking forward to come back and spend longer time browsing everything.

I love this place been coming here for 22 years to buy grateful dead materials that you can’t find anywhere.
I am glad they are still alive a true gem

I’ve been to my share of record stores and Everybody’s is on the top of my list. Great new and used selections. Vinyl, CDs, Cassettes, Shirts, Posters, etc etc. The staff are great, friendly and always willing to help. I live about an hour away and this is always my go to shop when I need new (or old) tunes. No need to go anywhere else.

I feel like Everybody’s is really underrated for how awesome of a record store they are. Everybody’s has a great selection of both new and used records. Not only do they have a great selection of records, but they also have a great selection of Cassettes, Music DVDS, CDS and other random music related things like buttons, patches, and zines.
The prices are always really fair and I’ve never come across anything here where I look at the price and cringe and think «Yikes.»
The guys who work here are always really cool, nice, and non judgemental. I know, I know, not every record store has Jack Black in High Fidelity working behind the counter but It does happen a lot.
A handful of months ago I was at Everybody’s and was in hope of finding Walk The Moon’s new album. One of the guys working went to go look for the album for me, and came back with the sad news that they were all sold out. Then when we were sadly checking out my boyfriend mentioned to the guy who was checking us out that I really was looking for that album, and like magic that guy pulled the last copy they had out from behind the counter and made me the happiest person in the world. haha. He looked generally thrilled that I was so excited about it. That in return, made me even more happy.
I think that Everybody’s is my second favorite record store to get lost in next to Shake-​It when you are looking for a new record. With that being said, I suggest you go get lost here sometime.

This is my favorite record store in the Cincinnati area. I’ve tried the rest, this is the best. But I have heavy bias because I’ve been shopping here since I first started liking music in my teens, so I’ve got lots of good memories here. Suffice to say, I have never been disappointed in the selection and opportunities to find great stuff here. Especially since lately I mostly buy used (because it’s more fun and more cheap), Everybody’s is a solid place to check out used vinyl or CDs. The new vinyl selection is not bad either, with a respectable indie and punk section. But of course the crown jewel of this place is the very helpful and nice staff. Unlike other record stores where you feel like you’re being judged by employees for your clearly uncool choices, these guys are just straight-​up cool about it all and realize that everybody needs a little Linkin Park in their collection.
Whenever I visit Cinci I try to make attempts to come here. No other record store I’ve been to brings me as much joy as this place.

The clerks here are super helpful. Like other reviews have said, there is a record player in the back where you can sample the records! They have a HUGE selection, there is so much to look at. The organization is on point as well, the genre signs can be seen from clear across the store. Prices are reasonable and they still had TONS of stock from record store day! I’m a fan!

I feel like the most popular name among local record stores is «Shake It,» but I personally prefer Everybody’s. (As another person said…“I love Everybody’s because it isn’t Shake It.”)
It’s hard to write a review about these places without comparing and contrasting them, but they each have qualities the other doesn’t.
Believe me, I have dropped my fair share of coin at both operations, but Shake It caters to more of the Alt/​Indie crowd, and Everybody’s seems to have something for… *wait for it*… EVERYBODY.
I love my pop music, and I love bargain classics and they have the best selection of both. You’ll find a TON of $ 0.99 albums, perfect for people just starting to find their way into vinyl. And the classics are reasonably priced as well.
Parking is non existent, other than the 3 metered street spots in front of the building, but I have never got in trouble for parking at the burger king down the street. *knock on wood*
They always do a nice job on Record Store Day with live music and snacks. They make it feel like an experience, and want you to hang out at the record store for RSD versus the factory like In/​Out single file line of other stores on RSD.
Pay them a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

This is a great neighborhood record store. The selection of indy records is really good, and the prices are comparable to what you can find on Amazon (without shipping!).
They have a good diverse selection of used vinyl, and if you’re willing to dig deep you can find some hidden gems that are expensive on eBay (for example, I found a Monsters of Folk album here for retail price, only $ 20, which is so rare that it normally sells online for $ 100+). Speaking of used music, if you’re trying to trade in your old records/CD’s, they are very generous with their in-​store credit for your trade-​in.
The best part about Everybody’s Records, though, is the people. The employees that work here and the people that shop here are obviously passionate about music and it has a really cool, chill vibe… like your favorite neighborhood hang out. This is a must stop for any music lover or record connoisseur when you’re in Pleasant Ridge.

I really don’t want you to know about this place unless you’re selling your collection of rare German prog and electronic that I’ve been hoping to find (a.k.a. Eurounobtanium). Suggest you stay away otherwise… because MINE!

This is my favorite record store that I have ever been to. As soon as I walk in, it feels like home. I could spend hours upon hours in here looking through everything. They have a wonderful selection of jazz, indie, classic rock and roll, and punk records. They also have a lot of newer releases in the front. The staff has always been incredibly helpful when I have a question. Everything is reasonably priced. If you partake in Record Store Day, I recommend coming here. Even the people that show up are super nice. This place will always be my main record store. I am absolutely in love with it.

This a must visit in Cincy. They have every variety of music. Great staff and prices.

I visited Everybody’s Records the same day as I visited Shake It Records, because it seemed as though they were the only game in town as far as record stores in Cincinnati.
Everybody’s was my favorite by a very slim margin. Whereas Shake It felt like it catered more to people into indie and lesser-​known groups, Everybody’s has a selection that appeals more to the masses.
I found their CD selection to be quite good, but more pricey than I would care to pay for most of the items. I LOVED the selection in the Used CD section, but I don’t think that every CD should be priced at $ 6.98. It doesn’t seem right considering I bought one of the CDs they had listed for that much at Zia Records for $ 1.99. Nonetheless, there were some good CDs to be found.
They also had an alright clearance CD rack. I want to say they had some good deals for $ 2.99 and $ 3.99.
I ended up taking home a Used copy of Mushroomhead’s «Superbuick» for $ 6.98. I was hoping to pick up all of Mushroomhead’s indie releases while in Ohio just because I figured they’d be easier to find in their home state as compared to Nevada. One down, just a handful to go!
Much like Shake It, I don’t think I’ll frequent this shop on every trip to Cincinnati. Maybe once a month or so. Not a bad store!

Just as I’d never been to Gaslight Café or Pleasant Ridge Chili, Everybody’s Records was another one of those spots I knew I needed to check out … someday, but just hadn’t gotten to it. But all that changes now!
I’d been to Shake It! in Northside many many times and love an old school record store, so it’s no surprise I’m giving this one a solid five stars. Because, and I can’t say this enough, this is a record store’s record store.
Like all good record stores, everything feels a little old here. No, «old» is the wrong word. Retro? No. Awesomely faded? Maybe. But lovers of music know what I mean — the record crates holding these babies were built years ago, the writing on the signs has turned a dark black of a grey with age, this store was clearly set up and then left to just appreciate, much like a good record.
You’ll find tons and tons and tons of stuff here from all categories. It’s all a little overwhelming as you walk in for the first time but once you find the section you’re most comfortable in, you’ll be fine.
They even have a near local section right near the register full of Cincinnati bands. Yes.
And to top it all off, in the back of the room, there’s a record player, so you can listen before you buy. The only thing they ask is for you to «please be cool and put records back when you’re done listening.» Fair enough.
I know P-​Ridge can be a drive and is in the middle of semi-​nowhere but it’s worth the drive for this store alone. Go and love a record today.

Blessed are we Cincinnatians to have not one, but two amazing record stores in our city! Although Shake It Records in Northside seems to be a little bit more favored by most, Everybody’s Records pulls in a very very close second.
Let me start off by saying that the reason I love Everybody’s is because it isn’t Shake It. Don’t get me wrong I love Shake It Records just as much as the next music nerd, but sometimes a little change can be a very good thing!
The first difference you will notice is that Everybody’s seems a little bit more adult/​less full of hipsters than Shake It usually is which gives the store a very laid back vibe. For us quiet reserved type, it can be a nice change of pace to search in peace without feeling like the guy two rows over in his Urban Outfitters uniform is judging every move we make.
Second, although the selection at both stores is wonderful and overlaps quite a bit, Everybody’s tends to carry a different variety of music than you find across town at Shake It. For me, this is most noticeable in their Hip Hop vinyl selection. While Everybody’s appears to be the DJ dumping ground of the tri-​state for hip hop, Shake It is very sorely lacking in the department.
Don’t let the reviews fool you into thinking that Shake It Records is the only record store in Cincinnati worth visiting. Give Everybody’s a try and I promise you will not walk out disappointed! The selection is great, the prices are fair, and the staff are always more than friendly. Go go go!

I love the vinyl and used cd section. Staff friendly and pricing is affordable.

The 2^nd best music shop in Cincinnati. Everybody’s is a little more organized than Shake It and larger so it is easier to find things. They also carry indie cincy music and have been around forever.
As Joe L.‘s review stated you can find gems in here that would blow out of Shake It in a hot minute. While the hipsters shop both places Everybody’s has a little less of them and little more room to avoid them if one so desires.
If you frequent Everybody’s you are sure to be able to pick up some great comps at very insane prices. I go here to dig up my elusive Beach Boy vinyls (the few I don’t have).

As far as music stores go, this place is top notch. Affordable. Friendly. Rare. Eclectic. Literally something for everybody! They have more vinyl records then I think I have ever seen, anywhere! Even back in the vinyl/​cassette age! They even have 8-​tracks for sale. Now if thats not rare I don’t know what is.
They have a great Local Artist section if you’re looking for that band you heard down at Party in the Park over the summer, or just out on the town one evening, you can almost bet you’d find it here.
They’ve got T-​shirts, cd’s, music movies, 8-​tracks, records, cassettes, just about anything you could need! They’re incredibly helpful, and know what they’re talking about. Even if you’re looking for some crappy pop band, they’ll know how to help you. They also have a record player set up to test it out before you buy it! Its a great place to spend an afternoon.

I like Everybodys Records alot more than I actually shop there. Maybe it’s because I’m not in the neighborhood much or maybe it’s because of the large amount of time I find myself at Shake It Records, but when I do make the trip, it’s always worth it.
Everybody’s has been around a long time and in the decades of it’s existence, not much has changed. The vinyl selection is excellent, just a notch below Shake It and what is really nice is that you can find some real gems in the crates you won’t find at Shake It. The reason is that they draw less of a hipster crowd and as a result some items that would blow right out of another store will still be around at Everybodys months later.
Even though it’s not my #1 choice, I still dig this place and hope it’s around for a long time.
