Rock & Roll Graveyard

I made a point to check out R&R Graveyard after coming out to Frederick for a late morning Keys game, and man, am I glad I did. This is an «old school» basement store, like the head shops/​record stores I used to visit in the 70s. I love it. I just wish I had more time to see just what was in stock. And Chris? A seriously good dude. He stopped what he was doing, just to help me find something interesting, as a blind purchase. Then we chatted for like ten minutes.
Great prices. Nice variety.
I plan on taking my next drive to Frederick, just to go digging. Totally worth the trip.

I’m not sure how else to say it: This place is freaking fantastic. I love the dude who runs this shop. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and a great guy to chat with. Music is definitely his passion, and it shows. The prices are very fair, and the selection is pretty damn good. I’ve picked up some great records here.
CDs, tapes, records, and even record players. This place has it all. I’d highly recommend checking it out.

Chris is so friendly and helpful. Great selection and even better prices. I hate to Unilocal this because I wanna keep this place a secret but thought it’d be better to give a shout-​out to a great find!

They have some awesome collector’s records here. They are a little pricier than some other shops but all their records are in good condition, and guaranteed to work or refundable. They have a pretty good selection for being small and again everything is just well organized and all pieces are well taken care of. The employees were very helpful. Great little vinyl shop!

Let me first start of by saying that Chris the owner is one of the most genuine nicest store owners I have had the pleasure of doing business with. His passion for music is felt every time you walk in and talk to him.
Rock and roll graveyard is a true gem in downtown Frederick. This basement store has every type of music genre you could possibly want on vinyl, cd, and tape. The prices can’t be beat on top of that.
I personally make it a point to stop in a couple times a week to check out the bin of new vinyl put out constantly.

It took me way too long to find out this place was awesome. My first time in was filled with finding records I had been searching for since I started going to record stores. The music being played by the owner was great as well. And after talking to him, you want to come back for how great of a person he is. His knowledge of music and everything related to it is huge! So be sure to make a stop in and talk to the owner as well!

Great old school tiny basement record shop with a fantastic collection, a weird, hyper knowledgeable owner, a giant pile of well organized records, a stacks section that doesn’t suck. Prices are reasonable. If it’s mint and collectable, expect to pay more. If it’s beat down and playable (how i like my records) then it’s cheap. Buy lots! Keep this shop around.

Great selection. Low prices. Knowledgeable staff. What more could you want?

This place is literally right down the street from my apartment and I love it so much that I’m seriously considering checking myself in to a detox facility. I’ve been able to add so many gems to my record collection and every time I go in, I find another chestnut that I simply couldn’t live without. This place is the cats pajamas and the guy who runs it is a stand up citizen with a real love for music and what he does. Stop being a wet blanket and check it out!

I’m torn between keeping this gem to myself and spreading the word, but here it is: I can’t say enough good things about this store. I grew up in Frederick back when the only quasi-​consistent place to buy records was the Record & Tape on the Golden Mile (there were other places that came & went). That was great for what it was: bargain-​bin digging, but what Chris has going on here is an honest-​to-​God RECORD STORE. The selection is fantastic, especially for classic rock as well as 90’s indie rock and emo. The prices can’t be beat (seriously), and Chris is just a seriously good dude who is always down to talk about any record in the store and help you find what you need. I’ve found several of the «white whales» of my collection here, plus a ton of stuff I didn’t even know I was looking for. I try to visit anytime I’m visiting my folks.
Only drawback is that his hours are a little inconsistent, so check the Rock & Roll Graveyard facebook before you go.

Stumbled upon R&R Graveyard during an afternoon visit to Frederick.
I don’t have a record player (I mean, again) and my parents sold my beloved LPs in a garage sale to the neighbor who had a revival New Wave band. *sad face*
So I’m slowing rebuilding my collection, although of course it’s not the same…
Anyway, Chris has a great operation here, mainly because everything is clean and protected and well-​priced. I called younger friends who do have a record player, and they put in a few special requests.
Worth the trek from DC.

This place is great! Nice selection with a friendly owner. Records are actually organized in alphabetical order. I’m not lying! I know, I almost fell over dead on the floor too.

The Rock & Roll Graveyard opened this past April and has been a gem in this small town. The owner Chris has worked in record shops for over a decade and is obscenely knowledgeable. Prices are affordable and Chris is willing to hunt for whatever you want. I got a first press of Sunny Day Real Estate and the first Jawbox record there, both for $ 40 each. Worth the trek.
