My first experience in this store will probably be my last. I will admit, the store has a very good assortment of media whether it be vinyl, cassette tapes, and CDs, but everything was way overpriced. I bought an album that I needed for a collection of mine for 20 and to say that I was disappointed when I got home and listened to it is an understatement. I would also like to add that every album I looked at in the store was taped shut in plastic and had “DO NOT OPEN” written on the back. So, how are you supposed to rationalize a purchase there? The record I bought had scratches all over it and skipped from the very beginning. What I paid 20 for in this store, I would have paid 0.50 for at the record store I regularly visit. I know this to be true since I have bought a 0.50 copy of the 20 record. I was hoping to get much better quality for a 19.50 difference, but needless to say the 0.50 copy sounded much better. I’m sure I will be able to find a better copy at a considerably lower price and in better condition if I keep my eyes open at a different record store. If you’re shopping for records in the Wilkes-Barre area, you are better off going to the Gallery of Sound. They have a very good selection of records in very good conditions with fair prices. My last complaint is that the cashier couldn’t manage to give me my change or even correct change. A 20 record with a 6% sales tax in PA comes out to 21.20. I gave the cashier 22 and he looked at me as if I was crazy when I asked for my 0.80 change after he closed the register drawer. Overall, I probably won’t come back to this store. I’m all for supporting small businesses, but I cannot do so when they are asking for 30-50 for records that can be found much cheaper elsewhere. I pity the fools who go out of their way to drive here.

Found out about musical energi from a discog-like vendor. So glad I took a chance buying 2 used but near mint LPs from them! After their website glitched when trying to pay, I emailed them indicating what I was interested in purchasing and later called them up to give them my cc info after they quoted the final cost. Easypeasy. The description of the LPs was spot on, the packaging was excellent, and the delivery from PA to NV was quick (given the pandemic). Will definitely buy from them again and hopefully check out the shop sometime in the future!
Excellent selection of both records and record players. Knowledgeable staff that's friendly and helpful. Wish they had more record stores like this near me!
I've been going to this store for about 30 years and have never been disappointed. The staff are always very knowledgeable and friendly as well as helpful. The selection is excellent and diverse. It's not uncommon to stumble upon rare punk records, odd posters and fun collectibles. I highly recommend a visit.
Fantastic store. Well organized & good priced inventory of vinyl records, CD, DVD, cassettes, new & used music equipment, artwork, incense. Of course good music playing and friendly super-knowledgeable owner & staff.
