My partner & I stopped in recently and were blown away with the amazing selection available of RSD releases from years past, thick sections for each artist (not just 6 copies of the same “most recent” release like many bigger box retailers) & friendly conversation with the owner Tom & his wife. Tom has been in the business for the time it takes to get things JUST RIGHT when it comes to a record shopping experience. If you ever are passing through I-70 or visiting the nearby ski towns, this is a must visit!
What a great place. The owner, Tom (I think his name was Tom but I have a terrible memory) couldn't be more friendly and passionate about his craft. Called to see if he had a specific graphic novel series and ended up chatting with him for over and hour. He didn't have it in stock but he was able to order it and made sure I got the beautiful hard cover. If you live in the Eagle valley and are a music or comic nerd I cannot recommend this shop enough.
Super nice mother/son duo running the shop, and in awesome fashion. They've got just about everything, and in immaculate condition. Thanks for being a music haven in these mountains. Love your shop.
This is a gem. So much interesting stuff. Not the best prices on vinyl but not terrible. The selection is fantastic. Especially considering how small it is. Very eclectic and diverse. The comic book side was a little hard to navigate but all I had to do was ask and got exactly what I was looking for. From what he said,he has half a million comics in back stock. Got the full run of the new Dreaming series. Cover price for everything. Perfect condition as well. If I lived in the Vail area I'd be there all the time.
My suggestion would be if you are looking for something specific, give the store a call. Let him know what you want. My guess is 90 percent of the time it will be there.
I can't stress enough how great this place is. Wether you love comics, music or both you'll love it here.
I walked into this little comic shop and I was definitely excited to see the number of comic books they had available. The guy who handles the comics there asked what I was looking for and I told him. At which point he went to the back to browse through his piles and piles of books to find what I had told him I was in search of. After locating some of the books I wanted/needed, he proceeded to pull up eBay for the current prices that the books were being sold for. Needless to say, my excitement quickly subsided. IF I WANTED TO SHOP ON EBAY, I'D DO IT FROM THE COMFORT OF MY OWN HOME! The guy who handles the comics clearly doesn't realize the point of going into a LCS; which is to find those HTF/Rare/Unique hidden gems. Anybody can pay top dollar for those books, they simply need to do exactly what he did...go online! Now if the "Jonah Hill in 40 Year Old Virgin" moment wasn't bad enough, I decided to ask about some modern issues that I needed and would be willing to pay cover for. After looking through about 1 and a half stacks of books (maybe 100 or so comics), the guy says to me "oh, those are in storage".....for every book I bring up after. Storage being that back room and according to him, 500k books upstairs. I don't doubt he has that many up there, seeing as how he's asking top dollar for every book and it's apparently too much effort to go into the back room or upstairs to locate what the customer is asking for. I was prepared to look through his collection and spend an absurd amount of money when I walked in there, but in the end, I paid him $20 for about 5 cover price moderns. My guess is the 4.9 stars this place currently has must be based on the vinyl part of the store (which did look impressive), but as far as the comic book section goes, stay home, sit in your favorite recliner, kick your feet up, crack a beer, pull up eBay and shop to your hearts content. It sure as hell beats driving to Minturn, CO for what I experienced. You ever even heard of Minturn!? Yeah, me neither, and I'm from Colorado!
