Earfood the Record Store

Great place to sell CDs. Kinda messy, but they seem to know where to find things.

The prices. The prices kill me. When I can walk into any thrift store or Goodwill and find the usual 1940s to 1950s unknown jazz artist for fifty cents, then walk into this establishment and find the same album for anywhere between $ 10 — $ 20 that let’s me know what I’m in for. They have a fantastic selection of music for what it’s worth. I saw a handful of used albums I would have liked to add to my collection by not for double the price I could get them elsewhere. The store has a great vibe and the staff seemed pleasant enough. If you don’t mind paying a premium price for used vinyl then this may be your place. Overall 2 stars for the high prices but great selection.

The owners, Tony and Jamie, are wonderful! Great selection here and reasonably priced. Tony’s knowledge of a variety of music is surprising and Jamie can locate anything else you could want. Highly recommend!

Great value and awesome customer service! Definitely not $$$…only $. Happened to get a rental with only a CD player for a long road trip… got to hear some vintage CDs purchased here… thank god this place exists!

LPs are way over priced and many are well over $ 10 for poor condition covers and vinyl. Not sure who buys at these prices but i’m sticking with Fairfax and Frederick stores.

As a longtime vinyl-​head, I was really looking forward to visiting this store — especially since the ratings were so high. Unfortunately, my experience was not nearly as positive.
First off, the good. The store was easy to find, had plenty of parking, and was uniquely decorated inside, with cool cd/​lp mobiles hanging from the ceiling.
That’s where the good ends for me.
I want to reiterate that I am no stranger to record collecting and grading. I’ve been collecting for over 15 years. While the recent resurgence in vinyl has bumped prices up a bit (particularly new vinyl), that’s nothing compared to the prices charged here for USED vinyl.
Here, I would easily pay 5 – 10 times more than what I’ve seen in the DC area. And, we’re not talking really rare records either. Many that I saw were your run-​of-​the-​mill Goodwill finds. Also the condition of the records leaves much to be desired. Many of the covers were worn, few protected by plastic sleeves, and the vinyl itself had significant scratches or surface wear. This means you’ll have a greater chance of hearing static, pops, or worse — skips.
I really wanted to like this place, but when I see albums that I paid only $ 1 for in excellent condition, turn up here for $ 10, $ 20, or even $ 50 in shabby shape, you better believe the rating will suffer accordingly.
That being said, this appears to be the only dedicated music store that sells records in Winchester. It’s all about supply and demand, I guess…

The best ever! Great selection of LPs! All genres and generations. CDs cassettes DVDs VHS Very cool! Great place to just browse, you are sure to find something you will want to buy and take home with you

Nice place, great service, you can tell they love what they do, stop by and help a local business continue to do what they do.

This store has been in business for 30 years and has managed to survive the great depression.
Likely because they have a great selection of used CD’s that are reasonably priced.
They also have Vinyl, Cassete tapes and DVD as well as VHS tapes.
It’s great to see an independently owned store like this still around when the large chains are disappering.
You get great quality which they stand behind and a broad selection of music.
CD’s are reasonably priced at $ 5 bucks.
The only downside is that many of the CD’s are not in any type of order so you sort through them till you find what you’re looking for… which they may or may not have.
Often times you’ll land upon something that you’ll like.
They also have a frequent purchase plan that allows you to get $ 5 off.
