By far my favourite vinyl store in Richmond. Some stores may have a bigger selection, or a larger new selection, but the intimacy of Deep Groves is what sets it apart. The shop owner is amazing and will gladly discuss any music you're thinking about, while sharing the many, many stories of the shows...

Definitely hidden gym in Richmond. I found the assortment of good quality used LPS the Best in the city. Prices are reasonable and selections usually pretty darn good for such a small location. Some of the other retailers that carry vinyl in this area charge almost as much as new. I always walk into...

Great selection of rock, indie, and alternative music. Tight spot packed with old gems and new releases. If they don't have a record you're looking for, staff is happy to order it for you. They'll give you a call when it's in and hold it till you grab it. Really helpful little joint with well knowle...

My son brought some old records in that he wasn't interested in to sell. They went through them and bought most of them. They gave him a fair price.
The remaining albums they offered to put into a charity. The guys were great and Fred the Bassett hound that popped in was a wonderful touch! Had fun ...

Good store. Nice selection of new with some used also. Got a great deal on a RSD release. Only comment is about the strong smell of what I think was incense. I hope this is viewed as a constructive comment. I didn t want to be rude but thought you might want the feedback. The guy in there couldn t h...

Very nice store compared to competitors. The man behind the register was very helpful and we even had a joke or two. I don't have any pictures of the store but it gives you a "hole in the wall" type of feel. I personally love stores like this. They had a great selection of records but unfortunately ...

This was the first and only shop I went to in search of records, so I can't speak for others in the area, but this place is so awesome! Please do not let the size fool you ... there is such a wide selection here, and such a great atmosphere. I was smiling the entire time, and have never felt more wa...

I thought it was kinda small but when I started looking around the selection was awesome. So many records I wish I owned. A man named Jay helped me find everything I was looking for and was very knowledgeable of their selection and more. Definitely going back.

Needed a place that would buy my vinyl LP collection from the 60 s, 70, 80 s. I called a few places in the region and decided to take them to Deep Groove Records for an estimate. The estimate turned into a VERY fair, reasonable offer and transaction.

I didn t need to get a second opinion from oth...

Deep groove is definitely in my top 5 record stores. Jay and Chris make it a point to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. There selection has just about everything from rock to jazz. If you can't find something in store just ask and they will order it for you. when it comes to pri...

Legendary local record spot- you've probably seen their bumper stickers adorning the battered bumpers of many a VCU student if you're in the Fan often. Knowledgeable staff with incredible taste- there's always something different and amazing playing when you walk in.

Stock is the same way- you mi...

I travel a lot and visit record shops in cities all over the US. Deep Groove is the kind of place you HOPE to find when vinyl shopping. The quality of vinyl overall was very good and the prices were also good. This is the experience vinyl enthusiasts are supposed to have when shopping. The gentleman...

Absolutely fantastic, pure record store. ( vinyl-only ). Knowledgeable and helpful employees and owner, and fair pricing. Surprisingly good selection in a small space. Lots of rare stuff and constant turnover. Check it out if you're in the city and own a record player.

New and used vinyl. Have some $1 records to sift through for list treasures. Large New collection of rock. Jazz is second largest, and international. Also have a large used section. Some other genres may need to be found at a different store, but I love searching the used records here.

Wide range of both popular and relatively obscure titles. Although I am a big fan of metal music (Vinyl Conflict is a great place for that) the selection here was nothing to scoff at. If I'm not looking for a punk or metal vinyl, I'll certainly be coming here first.

We both had a very precise list of what we were looking for, and not much time. Deep Groove did not disappoint: fair prices, good selection, interesting conversation, and store effects. Will make a point to stop in when I visit Richnind again!

Awesome little shop. Nice people working there and some really good used records. Even more modern albums is included in their used stuff - found an old favorite that I would have never thought to seek out but seeing it and picking up has taken me back in time a few years.

I walked in for the first time and the older man running the store said I must be new because he didn't recognize me, then asked for my name. I felt so welcome there. Bought 4 records and he even showed me some old tickets from the bands I was buying! The man that runs this store obviously has a pas...

Of the many $7 and under records i bought today, all are at least VG with plenty of near mint. Very nice to bring home several $2-3 records that cleaned up to NM. Lots of brand new records as well, but the used bins have a lot of great quality vinyl.

I love this record store. Constantly changing stock, reasonable prices, best staff, and a good selection without being overwhelming. Easy street parking, consistent hours and they are willing to make orders for you. The store t-shirt is a great Richmond memento. No bathroom.

Let me say something about this place, the gentleman that works there is extremely knowledgeable and very sweet. He sold me a Dual 606, my first turntable. I just got into record playing and I'm VERY glad I didn't order any of the new turn tables on Amazon because what he sold me works flawlessly an...

Best record store in richmond easily. The owner clearly works very hard to maintain an atomosphere and selection that will appeal to nearly everyone. Its a friendly store that welcomes newcomers and collectors alike. If youre interested in jumping into the world of vinly, start here.

I came here straight after going to plan 9, and even though plan 9 has more overall records, the selection here is much better. I found an original of 2112 and I almost cried. I will be coming here instead of plan 9, it's just more personal.
