Used Kids Records is an institution in Columbus, Ohio, and their new location at 2500 Summit Street is a definite upgrade from their prior location across the street from the Ohio State University campus.
The space is much bigger, giving them a lot of room to stretch out their collection of seemingly every genre of music under the sun.
You know you’re in for something when you walk into the store, immediately see a rack of newly arrived CDs and find one of them is this.
Their vinyl collection is impressive. You could spend hours and thousands of dollars here if you’re not careful.
This was my favorite section in the store. It’s stuffed with lounge, exotica, and other weird stuff.
Another fun section was an entire wall of Christmas music that showcased how many different genres of Christmas music are out there.
It’s amazing that I walked out of there with just a CD box set of The Who (at a crazy low price at that). Don’t skip this place if you’re in town and looking for a vinyl fix, or just want to browse and find stuff you didn’t know existed.
Keep your mind open.
