Only thing better than listening to great records is reading about them at the same time. A stellar in-depth look at the much unknown library music world. . . #yeg #yegbooks #yegvinyl #instock #books #librarymusic

It's hard to tell, but Sadie is super stoked to have this mellow gem back in stock. Minimalism for fans of Satie, Budd, Frahm, Takada, Eno, etc. . . . #yeg #yegvinyl #instock #piano #minimalisim #ambient #puppers

we are lucky to have a few great record stores in edmonton, but this one is my favourite. really eclectic selection of music. if there's ever a problem, owner kris is quick to take care of it. both him and his staff are very friendly and helpful. if you collect vinyl records (and they have some cd's too, and even a few cassettes!) you definitely should spend lots of time and money here.

User

best in town!!!!

User

Whenever I go into Listen to pick up my record orders, I always end up finding some other gems that I can't believe are just sitting on the shelves. This place is true blue; and trouble if you're a collector of esoteric records ;)

User

When I get a chance to get down to Listen, I am never disappointed:)

User

Unlike the obnoxious pricks at Black Byrd who will literally scoff at your face and roll their eyes if you ask for certain things, you'll be able to actually engage in a conversation about music with people who work here.



Had a problem with a warped record once and I got it swapped out absolutely no questions asked. Great store, they know their stuff!

User

These folks have always been nice and welcoming, especially when helping me to find certain records (whether I've simply missed it store, or requested a special order). They've come through in a pinch on several occasions and I can't recommend them enough.

User

Thank you so much Chris for your recommendation on the record!! I will definitely be back!

User

Some people say that record stores aren't what they used to be... I say pish-posh! Listen is an excellent place to nerd out with your fellow music and vinyl junkies.

Also - I always seem to leave Listen with less money than I came in with... which, doesn't even feel like a problem.

User

Really nice place , I'm gonna be there at least once a week

User

One of my favourite spots to dig!

User

One of many good record stores in Edmonton. A great selection of eclectic music and cheerful helpful staff. I will be back.

User

My favourite record store!!

Listen is great: a definite portion of my library was purchased at Listen.

User

Love it! This is my favorite record store in Edmonton you never know what you're going to come across. I make sure that my bank account is full before walking in there for sure lol

User

It's on the other side of town from me, but it's always great once I am there. Picked up some real gems there, and always a great selection. Probably my favorite haunt for good vinyl and a great conversation about music.

User

Hands down the greatest record store in Edmonton. Vibe and selection are always top notch. Also gets my vote for favourite staff! My minimal wave selection would be much weaker without their knowledge and taste!

User

Great selection organized well, helpful staff that knew their stuff, nice vibe 👍. It was a popping place as it was Record day 😀

User

GREAT STORE TO EXPLORE. I have found gems just by listening to the staff play records. The amount of variety is insane. Discovering records that help my dreams. This place Is awesome
