Zzz Records

I mean, this has been my favorite place to buy records since 2002, so... yeah, its amazing - and has always been amazing. The owner is one of the nicest, most helpful people ever.

I'm new to town and wanted to check out a local record store close to downtown DSM and this place was a phenomenal find. Filled with new and used records, local music, music that covers all genres (my husband is an opera singer, so I'm always on the lookout for classical records - and they had a decent selection) - not to mention loads of information about upcoming shows coming to Des Moines. The guy that was working when I came in was incredibly helpful, hilarious, and gave me great information about the store, as well as other record stores in the area in case I couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm the type of guy that could spend hours in a music store or a book store browsing and slowly building a stack of finds, and this is one of the places I will likely spend free time finding those gems.

Truly one of the best record stores I've been to. Great selection, staff and pricing. They focus on quality used pressings, but they also have a nice selection of new and bargin bin records. Zzz is organized and everything is easy to find, if you are having trouble just talk to the staff. As a Denver resident, I was blown away by the pricing. They aren't trying to gouge you or capitalize on the recent resurgence of vinyl. Instead they focus on what brought is there in the first place, the music.
