One of the few places left to see and buy pre-digital music and memorabilia. Come and browse thru floors of music history. In the age of digital streaming media, stores like this face an uphill battle just to stay afloat. Visit and buy a thing...Read More

Love the all vinyl section downstairs. Been lucky enough to always find some gems every visit. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful...consistently since the late 80s, early 90s when I would frequent more often.

Heaven for CD lovers. Their basement vinyl section is hit or miss, but such a fun dig. Must stop in the Bay Area.

One of the best places nearby to buy anything and everything music related. I've bought a couple of CDs and shirts from here. The employees are chill and the basement is full of vinyls! I wish it were open more during the week.

If music is holy, this place is Heaven. I used to come here all the time when I lived in California, and had never found a record store like this one ever, anywhere. If there is a place, this Rasputin’s is better. If you never been here...Read More

Great helpful staff, fantastic selection and very good pricing. Grabbed 20 vinyl 'imports' and a couple of hard to find CD sets. Definitely will frequent in the future!

The downstairs vinyl selection is immense with great records at great prices ready to be found. Probably my favorite record store in the area and worth the drive into the Bay Area. A visit to Rasputins is a solid 1.5 to 2 hour adventure.

I came looking for vinyl records, and I am quite surprised at the collection downstairs. There's a lot of records, predominantly old ones, but there were some new ones as well. There isn't much of an electronics section, but they had tons in rock, jazz,...Read More

This is THE place to go if you want to purchase CDs, vinyl records, DVDs, and, above all, cassettes. I went all the way out to Rasputin Music to buy the extended version of X-Men Days of Future Past, but it wasn't available on Blu-ray....Read More

I really like this location. There are a lot of different types of music and movies. Vast majority of things are at a fantastic price and parking isn't hard to find since there's a parking garage close by. The people are quick, efficient, and knowledgeable.

Vast selection of CD and vinyl. Up to date selections, but a lot of older and esoteric stuff too. Ironically, the 3 specific albums for which I was looking were not there. That shouldn't deter one from shopping here. It's well organized and a fun...Read More

Great way to spend a few hours! My teen is discovering new kinds of music and enjoyed browsing the LPs and talking with the staff about bands in different genres. My other kid just bought a cassette player (right?!?) And had a lot of fun...Read More
