Ear X-Tacy Records

Very Hip with a Large Selection by Victor D. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

They've been in business many years and have always been a favorite of the Bardstown Rd neighborhood.

They offer all kinds of music with a specialty for the alternative crowd. it's a great place to find rare imports that you may not know existed of popular bands. They also feature bands that you've probably never heard of but take a listen and your sure to find something you like.

They offer good parking and it's a hip and cool place and the people are friendly. If your into music and open to new things you may want to give this place a try.

PROS: Rare Imports, Excellent Service, Clean

CONS:

High expectations

I'm originally from L.A., when i started to ask about record shops everyone mentioned ear x-tacy with such gusto that I expected to find music store mecca. Once I arrived I was somewhat let down, everyone I had spoken to stated that the store had a "huge" selection. If you're into rock, country, or rap/hip-hop you have a great selection, but as for anything outside of those labels there was much left to be desired, especially in their vinyl department. Despite the lack of variety the staff was very helpful, the store was well organized, and special orders were offered to be made for me, so I can't complain too much. If you have been to Amoeba Records in Hollywood or Berkley than you know what record store mecca is. I guess in that sense I'm just a little spoiled.

• Pros: Helpful staff
• Cons: Lacking variety
