Tanner Schoepp: Low prices on good discs, cool clerks, and as the name indicates, they buy records at a fair price. You could start a quality collection in an afternoon.

MB Auto Detail: Great experience, customer service and welcoming environment. If you’re looking for some records or want to sell some I would definitely recommend you stop by We Buy Records

mel: Super nice people!! A tiny space but there’s still so many selections to choose from!

Andrew Kerr: Not a ton of used vinyl, but a great store

Noah Hansen: Had fun digging, shop was warm and tunes were cool. But dude charged me 44.99 for a record worth less than 20 and priced at 14.99. Bill was $172 so I thought I just got carried away digging. Didn't catch it til i got home to Green Bay. From one shop owner to another, if you're gunna hand price and ring you gotta get the bill right.

Stephanie Melton: Nice little shop and very friendly

Francesco Orlando: Great selection, fair prices, and super friendly staff: very knowledgeable, always ready to help and talk about music. All in all, an excellent record store!

Bill Littman: I had a collection of about 1,700 to 1,800 records and was looking to sell them. I live in Madison and contacted 5 used vinyl shops, including Bullseye. The owner set up a time to meet and he spent around 3 1/2 hours with the collection. During this time, we had a terrific conversation, mostly around music. He is very knowledgeable, without a trace of arrogance. Before he left, he gave me a value for the collection.I was thrilled with the offer and decided to sell to Bullseye. Within a few days, I watched my vinyl boxed up and driven away. A little sad, but very pleased with the cash in pocket.The process could not have gone smoother. I cannot recommend Bullseye Records any higher.

Nora Scarbalis: This place was small, but mighty! Not only was the selection of used vinyl awesome, they also offered my short fiancé a stool when they saw her struggling to see the upper shelf. Thanks guys! Will visit again!

Cordell Juhola: Friendly staff, great prices and organized. The staff buy records at a fair and reasonable price. I came in from out of town and added a few missing records and cds to my collection. Bullseye Records keep up the good job.

James Adair: Great store -a lot of hard to find cds& albums!

Mike Macauley: Great store. One of the very best I have been to. Great Jazz selection. So much rock you can hardly get through it. All used albums are cleaned and at least VG and above. Used CD’s are clean and typically in new cases. I have never got anything close to bad. They also carry new records and cd’s, as well as equipment and I think some clothing. The manager is super nice. She has been there many years and knows her stuff. All the employees are helpful as well!Thanks Record Head

Jill Aimone: I visited Record Head for the first time today, and was very impressed with their customer service, and assistance in locating and ordering vinyls that I’ve been looking for. Thank you, Josh for making my experience a great one. I will be definitely be doing more business with Record Head.

Tobymj07: Best record store in Milwaukee! I always find something and the owner can always point you in the right direction!

Jenny Nebel: and everything is in sort of an organized disarray. Guy always knows where everything is and usually gives us a deal. Never walked out empty handed. Lots to see here.

Art Greinke: and the shop is kind of a hidden secret that I'm hesitant to reveal because there's a ton of very rare stuff that I collect and don't want to publicize to much...

Mark Dubbeldam: Friendly owner and interesting selection but so fully stacked that looking around takes some effort and you need to move boxes around to get to what you want to see.

Jason: An absolute hidden nugget, buried in a lower level downtown brownstone. I almost don't want to review, as to give away all of its treasure. The owner is very helpful and the selection is remarkable!

Slaterson: and the kindest store owner. He offered to move boxes out of the way for me, but back any records that didn’t go back in

fewsaid: Amazing gem of a store, this is one of the few places I've bought records where everything sounds pristine. Price wise it is not bad but the quality of the records he owns makes it worth it. The place is a bit of a mess which only makes it more of a thrill to look through. The owner is very knowledgeable on what he does and doesn't have. This is a must go to record store in Milwaukee!

james chambers: I travel for work and like to hunt LP'S in different cities. This store is amazing. My taste in records is big band, vocalists. Musical memories did not disappoint. I blew my budget there but happy to pay what a vintage album is worth. Immaculate vinyl and hidden gems!

Adam M.: , the gentleman asked if I needed any help; so to know he was quickly available for help was nice to know. The selection was pretty good, even had a lil hip-hop which was nice. If you're new to the world of vinyl, this would be a good place to check out, prices looked fair as well.

Patrick Smith: I travel a lot for work, I frequently visit used vinyl stores in the cities I visit. This store is in my top 3 stores visited. Absolute gem of a store, superb prices and a great selection of most genres. God willing I will definitely come back to this little slice of record heaven.

Rachel Duffy: Awesome shop with a great selection of records, CD’s, and cassettes, along with some fun memorabilia for sale. A highlight of my day trip, highly recommend!

oscar rivera: Great store.

Steve Bird: Great store. Very nice selection of music at reasonable prices. I'll be back for sure.

Joe Phillips: Great record store for harder to find things. The jazz section is amazing with many rare items! Also, one of, if not, the largest blues, r&b/soul sections in town. Super friendly service, a super friendly cute dog, fair prices, and well organized! What's not to love? I've walked out a few times now with $200+ in albums. Highly recommend!

Blake Daul: They have the selection you want at a price you can afford! One of my favorite record stores in Milwaukee. You can’t go wrong here.Be sure to check out their budget section!

Lewis: Great vibe and selection here. As others have mentioned, the budget section in the back is not to be missed, a wide variety of popular and obscure gems at a competitive price. I couldn’t coax the dog out of its spot though.

Kayla B: I had a good time at Acme Records as someone who honestly doesn't know much about records. I got my first turntable a few weeks ago and a few albums from Goodwill, and wanted to go somewhere I could browse by genre rather than by artist, which this place has so it was great for me. Lots of space to move around, organized really well, and I was happy there was a rather large Electronic section which for me is what I'm most interested in right now. I love electronic music but obviously not all of the artists I like have vinyl, so I like browsing and either finding artists I know or finding new ones that look interesting. I got two vinyl that just looked cool to me and also got another from the soundtrack section that I did know, and I feel like the prices were really fair. Like, basically the same price I would pay online or even a bit less since I didn't pay for shipping.The budget section is great too, but again as I'm more into electronic not a lot was interesting to me at the moment but perhaps when I start collecting more I'll head back there. Also the dog is extremely cute, her name is Gerdy and she immediately walked up to us and was trying to look into our bags and wanting pets.The man working I think may have been the owner, but whoever he was, he was nice and helpful when I asked a few questions about an artist I liked. I'll definitely be back to see what else I can find!

John Dykstra: Wonderful shop with impeccable selection and the best shop dog in town

Jesse Pace: One of my very favorite shops in the Midwest, always make the time to stop when I’m in from Des Moines. Their $5 budget room is better than probably 50% of the shops in America.Deep deep selections in all genres from the staples to the most obscure. I bet the owner has a world class collection 😅

Liz Hammond: Exceptional record shop! I drove all the way up from Chicago to browse the shop and sell some records. The selling process was easy and exceptionally fair. Highly recommend Acme for both buying and selling vinyl records. Huge bonus points for the adorable dog 😆

Josh Flint: Always a lovely time going to Lilliput! Most of my records I've gotten at shops have been from Lilliput. I really enjoy its warm and moody interior, it helps make browsing far more enjoyable. The selection is also great for my tastes, and they seem to restock fairly frequently. The employees have also been respectful and kind every time. Keep on being great guys!Edit after another year of shopping at Lilliput: still a fantastic shop. Their selection is still consistently fantastic, their new releases are strong and relevant, and their record store day events are awesome! If you ain't come here yet, what are you doing?!??

Mia Smith: Excellent selection of vinyl!!

Marin Pechota: I haven't been in yet, but I reached out to the store to ask about a vinyl that's coming out in two months. I wanted to see if they were going to get a shipment in, and they respond 10 minutes later after I sent it! If that's their customer service even before I step foot in the store itself, I'm excited to check it on person.

If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely come back. The cashier was so nice and patient with me. I really appreciated their kindness. I wish there were more bookstores like this one where I live.

We barely made it to the rest of the store when our table was ready. Looking forward to finding more time to make our way back there and through their vast selection.Prices are higher than one might anticipate, but the selection is varied and wide, and the quality is high. Well worth the cost.
