The 14 Best Record Stores in Minneapolis & St. Paul
The Best Minneapolis/St. Paul Record Stores: Twin Cities locations to collect CDs, vinyl and cassettes in Minnesota.
Long-playing vinyl occupies most of the long, rectangular space; Eclipse has a massive selection of rock (plenty of Dylan), soul, funk (Prince is well represented), hip-hop, country, local acts, bluegrass and pop, plus respectable offerings when it comes to reggae and other international genres. It’s a fun store with friendly owners and a big selection of new titles and local music (including Minnesota heroes Bob Dylan and Prince), with a sizable collection of well-curated gifts, too, from shirts to books to puzzles. A quick-stop spot for steals, this store also boasts a sizable collection of $1-2 LPs (the cardboard sleeve might be in rough shape but the vinyl itself is fine) as well as a box of sleeve-only titles (from icons such as Bowie and Roxy Music) that are perfect for those looking for a frameable display.
