Reviews of Round Again Records

Shadab Quaderi

The most amazing record shop I have ever visited. The owner is an awesome person and I am so glad that I met him today. I went to get some vinyl for my friend back home in Dhaka, Bangladesh and am truly grateful to my brother who took me to Round Again Records. This place is teeming with gems of yesteryears and I believe you will definitely find what you are looking for and more! I hope I can come back again to Providence and visit the shop just to spend time and chat with the wonderful owner and listen to some music on the jukebox 😁

Stopped by here since I was attending an event in the area. Round Again had a vast array of media: CDs, albums, DVDs, etc. And just about every genre you can imagine. A large feat from a small store. The owner let's everyone roam about without hovering over them, yet is available for questions at a moments notice. Service you just can't get at large superstores. The prices are comparable if not lower than similar stores.

Sabrina

Good selection, but nothing remotely new, which is fine but wouldn't be the place to go if you're looking for anything after the 90's.

Charles Niles

Small but well stocked and organized. Good selection of new and used Jazz, Blues, Rock and Pop. Nice place to dig through a few crates and grab whatever might catch your eye. Super nice owner/operator.

Paul A.

Good service nice TVs for the game the cobb salad was not tasty at all

James Hallgring

A little pricey, but fun place to shop.

Travis Pearson

If you don't like this store or feel the owners rude, it's probably because you don't belong in there. The owner knows his music & is actually a very polite & good hearted man. Most importantly he has an ear & eye for good music. There a great selection of Rock music along with an even better selection of well priced obscure jazz LP's. I've found gems in this store, stuff that people would fight over in bigger cities. Definitely one of the select stores I like to go digging for good records.

Jon Ricciardelli

Great shop and very knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t know why there’s a bunch of reviews saying the owner is rude, I’ve only had great experience where he is very helpful and knowledgeable. All I can say is be respectful and you will receive respect back and understand it’s an old school shop (primarily jazz, blues, and classic rock)

I've known Steve probably 30yrs ,bought sold trade,never had a issue he's. Businessman. If he's been in business this long.i give him credit .it's not a easy business. I'll be in again soon.

Steven Capaldi

The owner of this store takes supreme pride in every aspect of the business, his humor is "dry" and some people just don't "get it" so they resort to unfair descriptions of his personality. His business is his life and he wants everyone to appreciate how important music is in any format! He is as important to the preservation of rare music in Providence as the Independent Man is to the Rhode Island State House. Steve Capaldi

Ok, let me say that the owner has always been cordial to me. He does have a dry sense of humor and may come off as being curt to those who get their feelings hurt easily. The man is there, and has been there for 38 years, to sell records in great condition, at fair prices. There are a few "touchy feely puppies and rainbows" record stores close by, and in the greater Providence area. You can stick to those if that's your cup of tea, or may be a bit thin skinned. It's ok you won't be judged :) They have records too, many of the same and the price is sometimes DOUBLE that of Round Again. Also, some of the conditions of those wouldn't even be allowed in his store. Every time I walk in, he's hard at work CLEANING his used records on a record cleaning machine. When I buy from there, all I have to do is a quick dry dusting with an anti static brush and cue it up. Just about every other place I get my used wax from, I have to do a thorough wet cleaning on my own machine before I even consider playing it. Very often, I find used records in stores, and from dealers, that just got visually looked at and plopped out for sale. Some of these "Vinyl Vipers" get records for next to nothing and sometimes free, and just rush them out to sell. I feel 100% CONFIDENT with EVERY used record I buy from Round Again. These negative reviews that say he's overpriced are just plain BS. That's unless they are buying junk for a buck or two at thrift stores, or the flea. My guess is they got mad the red carpet wasn't rolled out for them when they walked in the door. This guy knows the business and if something is priced "high" it's for a darn good reason. Be brave, visit, and see for yourself, or not... More for me :)

Steve is a great guy with one of the longest running stores in the area for 25+ years, you will see that he lets go of good music for a good price. A lot of locals and visitors might not understand his dry character and witty responses to some customers who usually ask stupid questions or act just stupid, in the "stupid" world we live in now.. Its all about the learning experience and true passion to listen to music...if you are looking for a "treatment" instead of record shopping, go to Newbury Comics and enjoy your day. Round Again Records always caters to the real listener.

Joshua Lieder

I like this store because the male clerk up front plays good music to sing along to when you are there and he is frequently singing himself.

Just going to throw this out there--as far as I'm concerned, if you are the proprietor of a bookstore or a record store, it is your not only your right, but your RESPONSIBILITY to be grump, a curmudgeon, a belligerent old bridge-troll. If you want bubbly customer service, go buy your records at Urban Outfitters.

Used buy stereo equipment from Round Again in the 90's. My Philips turntable lasted 25+ years (used)! Let's not forget record store owners are trying just as hard,to locate the vinyl you want....Learn from your elders don't blast them. Round Again is Small but big on quality.

Matt M

Great prices, great selection of records I haven't seen anywhere else. The owner didn't bother me at all. Way better prices than a certain shop on College Hill.

Fred Mintz

Haven't been there yet but if the owner turns off the flakey entitled spritzers then I will frequent his establishment whenever I get the chance.

Thomas Rolin

Round Again is, for me, the best record store in Rhode Island. Plenty of genres available and Steve is very picky about the condition of what he will sell. The great majority of records there are priced within anybody's budget. There are also interesting collectables coming and going. If you go here and leave unsatisfied, you just aren't into records. As to the negative reviews, if you want touchy feely, go get therapy.

David Gangemi

Been shopping here for 20 yrs. Best selection and pricing on lps. No junk lps to sift through looking for gems. All categorized,easy to find records that are all near mint or sealed.
