Sit and Spin Records is NOW OPEN in our new location

It's been a rough couple of months and we haven't quite settled in completely, but we ARE now open for business and invite you all to browse our new store.  With a more spacious layout, we've been able to put out even more stock than before with sections for new and used punk and metal as well as a large section full of jazz, funk, blues and soul.
And as always, we are available to buy your records 7 days a week.  Stop in, or call ahead.  We are available for house calls too!

Final days for Sit & Spin at 9th and Reed

Hey friends!
Just a reminder, these are our final days here at our original 9th Street location.  Starting Monday August 24th we will be closed for one week while we move into our new store on West Passyunk Ave.
To help lighten our load, we're having a sale on vinyl.  Stop by and stock up today!

Sit & Spin Records is MOVING!

Attention all friends and fans of Sit & Spin Records.  You may or may not know that we've had some problems in our store and were closed for two weeks to recover.  We have since found a new store location and have already started setting up what will soon be the new and improved Sit & Spin.

We will be closed for the big move on Monday August 24th and will reopen in our new location on or around September 1st. Until then, please visit our shop, still located on 1346 South 9th Street, and help lighten our load before the big move.

The new location is still in South Philadelphia, 2243 South Lambert Street, on West Passyunk Ave between 20th and 21st Streets.

Please visit us on Facebook for more up-to-date info.

Sit and Spin Records, 2 years and growing

January 8th, 2015 marked the 2 year anniversary for us here at Sit & Spin Records.  In that time we've grown in so many ways.  Our friend, Glass on Glass, moved out giving us more room to buy and sell records, shirts and more.  We've added hundreds of new release titles; reissues, new artists and albums, LPs and 7"s.  Our locals section is loaded with all kinds of music in a mix of genres, all created right here in Philadelphia. 

With all this expanding, we're ready to buy more used records.  Of course we're always looking to buy punk, hardcore and metal collections big or small.  However, we're also interested in rock, psych, blues, jazz, folk, electronic/industrial and more. 

Have a collection you'd like to sell?  Please call, 267-773-8345, or visit during regular business hours.  If you're calling, please be prepared to answer some questions about your collection (we advise that you have the records on hand when calling).

OUR REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS ARE:

Monday - Friday 12pm - 8pm
Saturday 11am - 8pm
Sunday 11am - 5pm

If you have a list or photos of a collection you'd like to sell, you can send that to sitandspinrecords[@]gmail[dot]com.

Sit & Spin Records is located in South Philadelphia, nestled between the Italian Market and Passyunk Avenue on the corner of 9th and Reed Streets.  Street-side parking is available and there is also a public lot caddy-corner from our store and lots of shopping within walking distance.
