Eugene, Oregon, is a city that resonates with creativity and passion for music, making it a perfect playground for vinyl enthusiasts. Over the years, I’ve explored countless shops, each with its unique charm and a treasure trove of records waiting to be discovered.
One of my favorite spots is **Listening Room**, nestled in the heart of downtown. Walking through its doors feels like stepping into a cozy sanctuary. The soft glow of warm lights casts a comforting ambiance as I browse the shelves. It’s here that I stumbled upon a pristine copy of Fleetwood Mac’s *Rumours*, a classic I had been hunting for ages. The staff, always eager to share their knowledge, recommended some lesser-known indie albums that have since become staples in my collection.
Then there’s **CD World**, which may suggest a focus on CDs, but the vinyl selection is impressive. I remember the thrill of finding a limited edition pressing of David Bowie’s *The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars*. The excitement of discovering rare finds is palpable in this shop, and the staff is more than willing to engage in discussions about our favorite artists, making each visit feel like a reunion with old friends.
