Hi, just wanted to let you know, my daughter purchased a Patsy Cline double vinyl album set. THE PATSY CLINE STORY. It arrived, quickly, and packaged super. She gave it to me yesterday and I played it twice....how great it sounded, great condition, media and cover. Thank you so much and hopefully we can do business again......found it on your Discogs account

Good shop, bought from Mexico on various occasions, and all but one purchase (which got lost) was fine, nice deals and hidden jewels on store.

I’ve purchased from these guys multiple times online. They are hands down the best I’ve ever dealt with. I own thousands of vinyl records, so I believe my opinion of this place counts for something.

Second favorite shoppe in the city, the bins are overstuffed(literally) with great finds. Pricing tends to lean towards the middle, never over-expensive, just dont expect to find great deals. That said their high-dollar records are always great finds in near perfect condition. My only problem with the store is one staff member has always treated me hostile in my tens of visits there.

Hands down best record store in Philly. Consistently has new stock of used records to scour through every week. Could drop my whole paycheck here.

I traveled pretty far to check out this record shop. Unfortunately I couldnt buy any of the things they had listed for sale on Discogs because they were kept in a warehouse (probably upstairs?), and the person at the counter couldnt be bothered to retrieve the items I was looking for. I thought their website encouraged foot traffic, but maybe I read it too quickly? I had about 10 -15 things picked out even before browsing, which isnt exactly a small sale to miss out on, especially considering the specific items I was after. The girl at the counter was very smug, very unsympathetic, and actually considered going to back for the items for a moment too; which indicates that if she really wanted the sale, she could have gone back to get what I was looking for. I guess the sale wasnt that important to them. She had the nerve to suggest I buy the albums online instead... As if I were still going to give them my business! I will be buying them online, just not from Beautiful World.

Always something necessary on the wall. Make sure to check out the books, too. I got an Ursula LeGuin paperback for $2

Fantastic record store, with an amazing selection just in their storefront. If you want their full inventory, which is absolutely enormous, youll need to go to their discogs page. Theyre pretty prompt about discogs orders too, I placed mine in the morning and it was ready by noon.

I was recently back in Philly for work event so I decided to hit up one of the few shops Ive yet to visit. I was only able to swing by because they have late hours, til 9pm so thats a plus.I was greeted upon entry. The shop and inventory is relatively small, but organized well. I knew they had thousands listed on their discogs page too, but they are in a separate warehouse. I found one record in the shop and I asked the guy at the counter about a two records I was interested in on discogs. He told me to purchase on discogs what I wanted and theyd be delivered to shop next day. He told thats what they do for anyone who is interested in discogs inventory, want to save on shipping, and still check out shop. So, if you do plan on going to this shop plan ahead and let them know. Theyll have your records packed and ready for you at the counter. I was very happy with overall service.The prices were fair, and condition was solid on onesa looked at with the exception of a few. The shop also carries cassettes, dvds, vhs, and I wanna say some CDs. Theres also a listening station too.

Cool place with a good amount of records, but would it kill them to fix the new arrivals rack? Throw a couple of L-brackets on that thing! Ill do it myself for any Parliament record!

Hands down the best record store in the city. As a collector, I find several gems every time I visit this place. I actually feel guilty because some of these records would cost me twice, if not three times more elsewhere.

Very generous payout for used vinyls, Ive been there three times to sell albums, and I found them to be polite, helpful and I was able to buy liners for album covers that were damaged in a flood.

Cool shop, but entire discogs inventory (i.e. the good stuff, dance music, etc..) not available to browse- its on a separate floor. Sad when record shops do this. Was ready to drop some serious $, left empty handed #nofun

Sickest place in philly to buy wax sooooo many gems uncovered ... Staff is awesome and knowledgable. They could improve their current releases and edm catalogue, but thats probably bc of the current distro market . .. Its definitely the first stop when record shopping
