Needle Drop Records

They've a great new store and are constantly getting in loads of awesome new and used records. Definitely my favorite spot to buy vinyl in Rochester

Best selection and special orders any hard to find records. Can’t wait for the new store to open!

This place is awesome. Russell is a super friendly dude, and the metal/hardcore collection is great. Definitely a sweet little spot. We will absolutely be back the next time we are in town.

Fantastic vinyl shop! Great prices used vinyls that are only $5 or $10. Solid selection of new vinyls and rare finds! The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. I was very lucky to find a band I was looking for and the record only had 500 printings! Can't wait to go back!

Great store. Has just what you need in a good amount of space. They had a really rare record I’d been looking for and gave me a good price on it. Owner is really chill and has a good selection. Will be back on my next trip up.

Great shop. Concentrated, industrial strength selection of new/great-condition used vinyl, and some vintage high end audio components.

Great refined selection of punk, jazz, metal, indie, experimental, you name it. Owner is a super nice dude too, awesome shop

What an incredible record store! Terrific selection spanning multiple genres (punk, hip hop, jazz, indie, classic rock), and none of the junk that sits on shelves forever at bigger stores. Russ is always bringing in the best new music and stocking up with great, clean used records. A record store this good would stand out in a city like NY, Toronto, Chicago, etc. and to have it here in Rochester is a real gift.

Russ is a knowledgeable, straight forward guy. Sweet little Record shop in the South wedge...sold some Vinyl, fair prices given...will be back for sure!

Bet.
This place is great- good selection of new LPs and underground stuff, awesome place to pick up local music. Russ the owner has helped me pick out records for gifts a bunch of times, and it has always been the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Stopped in quick to look at used records. The service is great. I found an old 7" single by a local band. I asked if I could hear it before buying and while the guy was putting it on the turntable I remembered I don't have an adapter. I asked if they have any for sale, the guy gave me a used one he has lying around for free. I will definitely be going back. Great store.

Great selection for such a small store. Friendly and helpful with some decent sales. Nice little Sourh Wedge gem.

Great little shop in the South Wedge neighborhood specializing in hard-to-find punk, alternative, metal. Also has a great selection of new releases. If you're looking for obscure used stuff, this is your spot.

A deftly curated selection of new and used vinyl. Also sells rare VHS tapes, band t-shirts, and local Rochester releases. Fans of metal, punk, and indie will find a trove of cool stuff.

They had exactly what we were looking for and at reasonable prices. Fun record shop!

Great store, lots of hard to find classic rock vinyl

Awesome selection across the board. Highly recommended to those those looking for punk, indie, and hardcore records you wouldn't expect to find in stores. Also, the people there are very knowledgable and friendly, and usually willing to chat about records. A+

Love Needledrop Records. Nestled in the Southwedge they have an extensive vinyl selection ( new and used). The staff are super friendly and always willing to answer any questions. I always feel welcome here.

One of the best record stores in Rochester! Grabbed some amazing records there! Great for fans of Metal and Punk but also other genres!

it's the best shop
