Reviews of Zzz Records

Leslie Plum

It sounds like this record store used to be the go to place in Des Moines, but now it just has a bunch of old, poorly categorized albums and a musty smell that made it hard to breath. It was pretty disappointing. The owner seemed nice though.

Adam Danielson

Legit- best record store in Des Moines. One of my favorites of everywhere. Nate is super nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this store!!

haakon nelson

Very friendly service, awesome selection, reasonable prices.

Mark Stallman

Great selection. New stuff every time I go in. Great music playing while you shop!

B Rice

This place is pretty awesome! A lot of inexpensive records. I got tapestry, Simon and Garfunkel, and Styx, each for like 4-6 dollars. You have to search the bins to find stuff and I didn't find very many high demand items here, but it's a blast to thumb through the bins and occasionally happen across something long forgotten for a really reasonable price. I love it. I'll be back.

Tim Mitchell

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.

Roger Blakesley

Been in many record stores and ZZZ is right up there with friendly staff and prices. I own all the t-shirts too.

Matthew Baird

Very nice record store. Great selection. Great prices. High quality.

scott mcclure

A great place to dig for hidden gems, new releases and record store day treasures. Nice selection of used lps which changes daily. Can always find something interesting every visit.

Vickie Jaksich

Great record shop. Nat is extremely friendly. Received a fair price for several albums I took in for possible purchase. Will definitely return!!

Brian Kinnaman

the selection of LP and CDs a little bit of everything. I recommend ZZZ Records. No complaints.

Forrest Rittel

Cool store! Super helpful and friendly.

Nicholas

This is the best record store in Des Moines, pretty objectively. I don't buy a ton of used vinyl here, mostly because the super good stuff they get goes so fast. Prices are very fair and appropriately scaled vs. condition of the record. However, their prices on new vinyl are great, and they have gone above and beyond several times to order, hold, or pre-order records for me. 10/10 customer service.

Kalled Ashour

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 bargain 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.

Heather Hyatt

Great record store. Fairly priced and very helpful staff. Found a nice little selection of new, more indie bands. Would love it even more if they stocked more ambient and electronica, but the stuff I'm always looking for is a bit obscure. Love that they will order in whatever you're looking for, however, if you like.

Caleb Stevenson

Best record store in Des Moines (I've been through them all). Records are competitively priced and diverse enough to keep you coming back. Strongly recommend. Also- their listening station is pretty sweet

Dan Loy

Zzz is hands down the best record store in Des Moines, and dare I say the entire state of Iowa. Nate and his staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and they have been going strong now for over 20 years.

Michael Young

Everytime I go into Zzz Records I walk out with 4 or 5 vinyl records. Zzz Records has an ever rotating inventory and can always find something to pique your interest, or take you down memory road to an old album or song from a time gone by. Best of all - the pricing! I think Zzz Records has the best prices in town for slightly used second hand vinyl.

Nik Pugmire

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.

Adam Sankot

This place is fantastic and must visit if you are in Des Moines. The selection is great and customer service is awesome. I had the pleasure of working with Nate on my last purchase and can’t say enough nice things.

Sarah

It's hard to find places that still sell cassettes these days so I was really excited to find multiple big boxes full of them at zzz records. We spent at least an hour going through all of them and I left with a nice stack. Definitely will come back again another time!

Steve McCulley

Excellent selection of vinyl and CD's. Great staff that's knowledgable of what they're selling and helpful if you have a specific album in mind! There's always great music playing while you browse.

Chris L

Awesome store with a great selection of new and used records. Definitely a cool place for crate digging.

Alicia Herzog

Zzz is a great place! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they have a great selection, and they contribute to area nonprofits. What a great group of people! If you are looking for a huge selection of records in one small place in a great central location, this is the place to go!

Monkeycamera

Best record store in the DSM area, hands down. Friendly staff, great selection, and also playing some cool music from behind the counter that I've ended up buying!

Travisty 4

I love this place! By far the best record store in the 515 Des Moines. They have fair prices great quality and can get u about any record you are looking for. 100% A+++

Jonny Demo

The best for what they do which is primarily used vinyl. The owner, Nate, is incredibly approachable and is willing to chat music and Iowa music history. They also sell local CDs and used CDs.

Josh Bertocki (syrinx_priest)

Great little record store. Always able to find something I need for my collection. Staff is very friendly.

Dave

My favorite record store in town. Good selection, fair pricing, well organized, and always friendly service. Plus a nice selection of new vinyl.

EZ Eats World channel

Love the esoteric finds. Reasonably priced gems await. Home of the unusual stuff.

Erin Schroeder

I only give it three stars because of the labels they had on the record stands, they had nearly none of the artists they represented. I know it's for alphabetizing, but it was still disappointing. I didn't think the selection was that stellar, and they're lacking new releases, which is disappointing but also hard to find in Iowa.

Joshua Minnehan

Love this place my personal favorite place to stop when in Des Moines. Awesome records great prices and super friendly staff. Never walked out unhappy always a smile on my face

Jason White

Great place for records etc
