Tower District Records

Great record store. If you’re into vinyl, definitely stop in and give it a browse.
Focused on rock, but well-​curated enough that you’ll find something good in any of their other sections, which include punk, oldies, R&B and classical. Good prices, although you’ll find an occasional rare selection for over $ 200 hiding out among the more affordable offerings. I didn’t uncover anything recent while I was browsing, so if that’s your thing (and it’s mine), don’t get your hopes up.
Loved the local section.
Can’t wait to go head back and catch some live music.

I am totally stoked to find this record store in Fresno. Fair prices, very reasonable return policy (store credit if the record doesn’t play well, no fuss), good selection, good turnover, private-​ish room for test playing records. I always find something new and exciting in the new releases section. I am a funk and soul girl myself, and while the F & S department isn’t as extensive as the rock department, I have still found quite a lot to interest me. I own several thousand records and I found records that I have been looking for, in wonderful condition.
Best of all — storekeepers are friendly and kind. If you spend a lot of time in record stores, you know how lovely that is.

I was in town for a soccer game and stopped-​by Tower District Records on Record Store Day. This has to be one of the best record stores in Northern California! And I have shopping at Ameoba Records in SF, Rasputin/​On The Corner Music and Streetlight in San Jose, Dimples in Sacramento during the past three months to build-​up my vinyl collection. Tower has a giant selection of rock, jazz, R&B, Blues all in excellent condition and priced between $ 7-​$ 15 for used vinyl. You should make time to check-​out the bargain bins below each isle and you will find a lot of gems. You can sample vinyl in an enclosed listening room where they also sell some turntables and receivers. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful, and as an added bonus they had live music on Record Store Day. I just wish I had more trips to Fresno… damn, did I really say that? OK, if I am near Fresno again, I will make a stop for sure. Oh, and go treat yourself to a home-​brew draft at Sierra Brewery afterwards to celebrate your crate digging fun.

Tower District Records has got an amazing collection of used vinyl, including lots of Jazz, rock, and other hard to find stuff like rare imports and EP’s. I could spend days in this place and still only dent the surface of what they have available. Bob and his staff are very knowledgeable and passionate about music, and can help you find what you’re looking for. They have turntables and stereos in another room, so that you can sample records before you buy them, which is a cool feature. Time to rebuild your collection or start a new one!

Best record store in Fresno. Bob is an awesome owner, super nice and has a good selection of wax. Rock, jazz, singles, etc. Definitely a spot you need to go to if you’re in the area.

Very cool shop with a strong selection. The owner is a cool guy who is very knowledgable. Prices are fair and representative of prices. Very nice establishment.

Friendly owner with a passion for all things vinyl. Decent selection. Recommended for the novice to advanced vinyl junkies.
