SOUNDCENTRAL Reviews

Vinyl selection is smaller than last year, but the prices are quite decent, and the staff is always excellent. And I always appreciate a listening station.

I've purchased 7" Pink Floyd - Another brick in the wall for 0.25 $. Good selection of Rock records if you're into this.

I recently checked out Sound Central during my first visit to Montreal. I noticed a few records that caught my eye on the discogs page so I had an idea of what kinda stuff was there

There's lots of residential area around the shop so finding parking wasn't too bad. Shawn the owner was super welcoming, personable, funny, and helpful. He's been apart of the Montreal music scene for many years and has lots of cool stories.

The shop is organized well and has mix of used and new vinyl. He definitely has more used selection which is just what I'm into. He also carries some cassettes and CDs. Lots of genes too poke through, but I spent more time on the punk, hardcore, and alternative bins. The inside of the shop is also cool with lots of posters, flyers, and other stuff adorning the walls and ceiling.

The prices were very fair and condition of everything I was interested in was good. Shawn even hooked me up with a tape from his 90's punk band Blood Sausage. I'm so glad I stopped here and would recommend checking this shop out!

Quite simply the best independent record store in Montreal. They have a large collection of music, across all genres and formats. Definitely a place to go to for music lovers.

The nicest employees are here. The place is charming and we go back again and again for the small prices!

The best record store in Montreal owned by a truly passionate and dedicated man. An independent record store that still holds true to the music scene.

Broad selection of vinyl, new and used. Cassettes, CDs and collectibles. All at great prices. Eclectic design and knowledgeable service from local musician, owner, operater.

I found a rare album there through the web; I was very happy and also impressed
by the owner, friendly and generous of her time; thank you for your great service!!

Nicely organized shop with more than just records. Prices are decent and the staff are nice.

More of a skate shop then a record store for me(taste is subjective) the vinyl selection was poor. But if your dj theres more selcetion for your mixtapes.

Always cool going there. Shawn welcome you everytime and stock are at very good price

Always a pleasure! Such honest, nice, open staff. Kind, humane vibes and varied selection.

A genuine indie record store, cool selection of punk records. Selection is limited outside that but if you're looking for punk rock, this is the place to be.

Should be open and it's not. Onto the next of many Vinny stores in the area.

Small place, but with great character. The gentleman who worked there, you could tell he loved what he was doing but respected your space and your interest in searching through his collection. A lot of random old stuff you can find there. Also, metal and punk records. I loved the selection and the variety abd obscurity provided in this shop. Homey and authentic. I would def check it out if you're looking for things you won't find anywhere else. Also, inexpensive.

As an expat NY'er, this humble (yet complex) record store is one of the hallmarks for Montreal Underground music (specializing in the provision of quality local acts like Dopethrone, Powercup, Vulgar Deli, and Crimes amongst others), and a welcoming oasis of coffee, CDs, vinyl, music-related literature/video/toys/etc. that made me feel like I was back on the Lower East Side. Steeped in an unrepentant musical "True Grit", this establishment embodies a jackhammer-wallop of drive and purpose. As well as the physical establishment, their online shopping cart is clean and well-organized, with all current releases easily found under a well-indexed classification standard. Having embraced socialization long ago, Soundcentral is easily located on both Twitter and Facebook (with numerous fans and likes to go around). For the vinyl aficionados, it's well worth an afternoon browse that may net you treasures worthy of Memory Lane (just picked up "Get The Knack" for RIDICULOUSLY cheap, with awesome playability). Just get down there, already? You won't regret it.

This place is a gold mine as there are things that are found here at ridiculously good prices that could not be found anywhere else.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff will do their best to take care of you.

Good service, friendly owner and surprisingly well priced for the plateau.

Original underground vibe. Eclectic. Friendly. Helpful. Gift ideas. Super chill. New and Used. Pet friendly. Yoga classes after hours.

Great, well priced shop. Owner knows what he's doing, and is very helpful.

Absolutely adore the vibe, the prices are decent and the owner is super nice to chat with! Good selection of used records, CDs and cassettes.
