    Few record shops dot our local businesses anymore, so it’s actually kind of nostalgic and wonderful to walk through here. Extensive vinyl & CD collection, great playlist inside, knowledgeable staff!

    Great selection of new and used movies, DVDs & Blu-rays, cd's and vinyl. Really great rare items, and deep foreign and horror movie sections. Great prices, a favorite!

    If you're confused about where an artist is, look for them under a group they were in (i.e. Jerry Cantrell albums are actually with Alice in Chains). Also, don't miss the slightly hidden vinyl room.

    Best music selection in Baltimore and pretty cheap. Not as good as they once were but still great. Staff are mostly super-pretensious hipsters who treat you like human waste, but they are knowledgable

    Rolling Stone ranked Sound Garden as #2 in their 2012 list of The Best Record Stores in the USA! And every year, it remains on top lists locally in Baltimore & nationally.

    The premiere location in Baltimore for CDs, DVDs, and (most importantly), vinyl. I hope that the Internet doesn't put them out of business!

    This place doesn't have a huge selection which is a bummer, but the prices are pretty decent. Lots of DVDs that are well organized too.

    This place is kinda awesome... lots of oldies and people you've never heard of but there's a ton of new stuff in case you're into that too.

    These people are elitist jerks. I have shopped here since the early 90's and they have always treated their customers like pooh.

    More vinyl, but used CDs are now mixed in with new discs. Seems like used CDs may be a much smaller portion of their inventory. Very few CD box sets, too!

    Go to Sound Garden and look for things you want of the CD and DVD variety. Chances are, you'll find it. I have found some awesome CDs there I've never found anywhere else.

    Need some new tunes for your next Ziptrip? Dig in. They’ve got some rare music gems here that you won’t find in a big box electronic store.

    If you're buying used cds, CHECK THE CD BEFORE YOU BUY! Twice I've bought cds and later got home and found the wrong one inside.
