Great used music store by N. R. at InsiderPages
Contributor at Insider Pages
Vintage Vinyl is a store with personality, hand-drawn signs marking out all of the genres, and staff picks and recommendations ubiquitous through the store. The store also has frequent events with musicians doing signings and other things. Excellent location for music hunters, in University City's Loop, not far from Washington University. Their classical section is often interesting, but fairly small and somewhat out of kilter regarding pricing--too much for some items, and the corresponding occasional steal on others. It's good for the rare item, but not genuinely excellent. More a store for all kinds of popular music, selling t-shirts and DVDs as well.
Good selection, opinionated staff.

Variety
Starting out with some stacks of records in the Soulard Market stands, Vintage Vinyl grew into one, then two University City storefronts, eventually settling in the old Varsity Theatre building. Now legendary in the University Loop, Vintage Vinyl is a one-stop record shop that highlights everything from obscure, spoken-word vinyl to the latest hip-hop singles. If it's old, there's a chance they've got it; if it's new, you'll find it.
Organization
Though the ceilings and walls are chaotically decorated, the stacks themselves are organized with precision. The staff certainly knows music, though they also know what they like and aren't shy about giving that impression. That said, the Vintage buyers know how to stock for both the pop fan and the complete junkie. You'll find techno music from Belgium as well as the latest Sony records.
