All Day Records

We stopped in here to check it out during a walk through Carrboro.  I did not know there are so many artists I did not know!!  They have an amazing selection of vinyl.  I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about the last 6 decades of music, but this place made me realize how small my range of tunes is!  It is for the truly sophisticated music aficionado, and the words main and stream have no business here!

All-Day Records is the bomb! The music is top-notch, as are the lovely people who work here. Really high quality selections from various genres, from old Chicago house, classic Detroit Techno, Disco 12 inches, Rhythm and Blues, new experimental music, rock-n-roll, and more. The layout is minimal, with beautiful records on display, and comfortable bins to browse. All-Day also supports local and touring musicians. I've learned about more new and old music from checking out shows, digging in the bins, and asking what's currently playing on the turntables. Great record store, waaaay cool.

Amazing selection of vinyl -- things I'd never been able to find in my favorite shops in Minneapolis or Chicago. Wonderful selection - a bit of everything, great prices, and they are clearly very involved in the local music scene. It isn't too picked over -- always likely to find something great here.There's a bus stop right at the shop doors, so it's great for popping in for ten or fifteen minutes while waiting for the bus. That being said, you could spend 'all day' here, just hanging out and talking about music! The staff are so friendly, and the shop is very welcoming - plenty of vinyl to peruse and comfy couches to sit on if you fancy. They host record release parties, though I haven't been to one - they have a great space for it. Also, check out the little 1"-pin vending machine by the door - 2 quarters gets you a neat button! The little touches like that make this place something really special. Hope it'll be a Carrboro fixture for years to come.
