RECORD STORE REVIEW 3 OF 15


LO COST RECORDS

147 JACKSON ST PETONE LOWER HUTT
Ratings
Stock, numbers of records 7.5/10
Collectable stock 6/10
Quality and pricing 6/10
Service 5/10
Knowledge 4/10
Overall feel, vibe 3/10
Average 5.3/10
Again another smallish shop. The shop is really filled up with vinyl and record bins are full all of the time. On both sides there are records with a central section with Cd's. Under the record booths are boxes and boxes of 7" records. The walls are covered in special records and also metal/rock posters and good bogan T-shirts. There is some collectible records in this shop at times. A really good diverse range in the A-Z pop rock and same for the 50s-60s A-Z with lots of original pressings. Lo Cost also stocks very good classic rock, metal and punk sections. If you are not into the bogan stuff there is always the jazz or even NZ sections. Digging will take you a good day here. The only negatives are the radio stations always seems to be on not Cd's. And the owner is nice but very quiet (hence low knowledge rating, he probably knows his stuff??). So at times it feels quiet and lacks vibe. A good record store to look through and i always find it hard buying because he has so much good records in good condition.
