big old meh.
It is official! Crooked Beat has a NEW LOCATION!! We will be in North Alexandria at 802 NORTH FAIRFAX STREET. It is 2 blocks from the waterfront and not too far from the Braddock Station Metro (Blue/Yellow Line). It is also only a few traffic lights from DC via GW Parkway.
We hope to be reopened by the end of August. Stay Tuned!!
incredibly overpriced for used scratched up vinyl .........not sure what other people bought/buy there...
the three record stores I like for used vinyl in the DC area- in no particular order- are
SOM Records
Record Exchange
CD Cellar
I have to be honest that I don't think Crooked Beat will make it out there.. anyways it doesn't really matter as the owner sells the good stuff online....I see him at the post office often mailing a bunch of record mailers. same as that other store on U St (Joint Custody)... Joint Custody in particular lists THOUSANDS of records online..they sell the not so hot stuff at the store
Record stores i like don't do that...I mean its one thing if you have a $2000 record... I can see listing it on Ebay... but if your'e listing a lot of your records online/ and in particular most if not all of the good stuff .. then I don't see the point of shopping there.....I can go online!
