Friendly and fun staff that knows their music!!! Great used vinyl section and they can order anything!!! A Tuscaloosa landmark and traditional. They also have a great selection of music memorabilia and posters. One of my favorite stores on the planet.

Oz Music is one of the best, if not the best, store in a N+1 mile (N>200) radius from Tuscaloosa; not just compared to other (there arent many) music stores, but compared to all stores. They help me research and identify hard-to-find CDs, order them, call me when they arrive (often within a few days). And then the prices are competitive and often lower than with any online sources! The staff are a pleasure to talk with. Not only are they friendly, but their collective musical knowledge is a valuable resource. Andrew, Donna, Jason, Gretchen, Anna, and Bobby are genuine friends and kindred spirits because of their love of music and passion to be truly helpful. Any names I left out are because I probably dont know everyone at Oz, yet.

OZ Music is a excellent store. It is like stepping back into timein the 1970s and 1980s. They are really fast at ordering thealbum. CD, or DVD you want. It is a amazing store and younever know what you will find there. The staff is very helpful

Absolutely my favorite music store anywhere. Jason & the staff at Oz are incredibly knowledgeable & fun to deal with. They pay fair prices for used items & sell used stuff at a great price! I live over an hour away & drive here or order from them over the phone for every single piece of music I buy. Support a fantastic local small business. You definitely won’t find a better selection or service anywhere!

I have been a long time Oz Music supporter and customer. Knowledgeable staff, friendly and very helpful. Jason Patton is one of the best managers and business owners I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Special orders are easily handled. Thank you for your years of great service.

Oz is my favorite place for help on hard to find albums. When you know an album is coming out ahead of time, they will be sure you get it right when it comes out on special order. They make it very easy. The entire staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly.

In the days of big box and online stores, nothing beats a grassroots, home grown, local business and Oz Music is one of the finest establishments anywhere. Attention to detail and superb customer service are hallmarks of any successful business and the fine folks at Oz music have these traits in spades. Whether buying some beloved records from you or adding to your personal collection, there is no other place anyone needs to go for expertise and courteous service.

Review №15

Personalized service is difficult to come by these days. At Oz, the very professional staff will always do their best to help you find what youre after, most notably using the ability to special order some of the more obscure stuff. Ive shopped at Oz for over 15 years, and the service and prices cant be beat.

I LOVE OZ!! Im one of the rare folks in my circle that will still purchase a CD and they never criticize my music choices! The staff is incredibly friendly and Jason is one of the most stand up guys Ive ever known! They are quick to answer any questions and they always have the latest releases. Not to mention bringing in the local talent for Record Store Day! Oh, and winning with the Tide is an annual football season tradition! Happy shopping!

Top notch service. I moved from Tuscaloosa over a decade ago, and there’s no local record store where I live. Jason still manages to find and get me what I need and get it to me without gouging me on shipping. Proudly representing Oz in Huntsville.

Been shopping at Oz Music for many years. Love that employees are friendly and knowledgeable, always ask if they can help, but dont interrupt if you just want to browse. They have great selections of new cds and vinyl, as well as used, and will order anything that I need. Nothing can replace independent music stores!

Theres not a better record store anywhere! Jason and his staff are the best at what they do and put the customer first. I recently got back into vinyl and my teenage daughters have jumped in with me. I contacted Jason and asked his advice for which turntable he recommends, and now have the same model used in the store for customers to check out used albums. Look no further than Oz!

Oz is hands down the best record store in Tuscaloosa, if not one of the best in the entire southeastern US. Jason and his team of employees are so helpful and knowledgeable, and their prices are always more than fair. They will learn your name and face quickly if you shop there regularly. When I was in college in Tuscaloosa, they quickly got to know me from shopping there and got to the point where they would know which new releases I was looking for when I came in before I ever said it out loud. They also firmly support their community with amazing events including hot dog cookouts, live in store performances, record listening/release parties, and more. And their Record Store Day celebration is not to be missed. Being a customer here will make you feel appreciated and you’ll know your money is going to a locally owned business and that money will stay in your community (that definitely doesn’t happen when you buy music online).

Where to begin...from to an amazing selection of music and gifts to a staff that’s second to none, Oz Music is a local institution. In the days of online shopping, Oz epitomizes why brick and mortar stores must stay in business. Thanks to Oz Music for being the local record store every town needs!

Review №41

Ive seen a lot of record stores in my time, and Oz is one of the best. In the whole entire country. And I mean that! Shop here, the curation is excellent, the staff warmed and well-informed. In short: I wouldnt have known who the Civil Wars were unless they played an in-store at Oz, and I went on to write about them at NPR Music, and (not saying it was my doing) they eventually won a Grammy! Oz is ahead of the curve.

I cant say enough good about Oz Music and the staff there. I have been shopping at this store for all my music needs for about 12 years and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and helpful. If they dont have a particular record in stock they will order it for me and I usually get it the next day. I have also sold different collectibles to them at one time and was given a fair and reasonable price for them. I had a box load of cds to sell just last year and the owner even came to my home to look through them (I was unable to get away from my house at that time) and bought most all of them from me. One of the best locally owned businesses in the city of Tuscaloosa.

There is a reason why Oz Music has been around for decades. Its the same reason that Oz Music is the only record store left in Tuscaloosa. They are the best. With a wide selection of music and a courteous, knowledgeable staff, Oz is second to none. Cant find what you need? Go to Oz Music. Chances are, they can put their mits on it. If you love music, go to Oz. If not, just go to Walmart.

Review №62

Edit; google will not let me publicly reply to the owner, but an unofficial unlicensed import album is a bootleg. Selling it for $40 is egregious and I have no idea how selling unlicensed music is legal.Summary; they sell bootleg albums and try to pass them as realWent in on August 26 on a whim and noticed a wall covered in new releases. The thing that should have tipped me off was that all of the albums had the same, generic back that didnt match with the cover. But in my excitement, I picked up a copy of Tyler the creators Flowerboy and Frank Oceans Channel Orange. Upon showing some friends the albums however, they advised me to go back as they could be boot legs.Upon return I was told they were unofficial pressings. However, these albums were all sold for $40 and were placed in the same area as the legitimately pressed new albums. It feels morally dishonest to A) even sell these unofficial releases and B) to attempt to pass them as real by placing them with the real albums.Finally, as I was finishing the return I was rudley told that most people dont care if the albums are unofficial, most people just care about the music. Its never been a problem for us before.I never plan on returning to Oz.

They said vinyl was dead years ago and now say CDs are dying. Well to those of us who love music they are all alive and well at Oz Music! Love the staff and the selction really down to earth people. The owner is more of a friend to his customers more than someone who just wants to be paid. I have been coming to Oz for a few years now and never had one bad experience. Shop local shop Oz!
