Great new Seattle record store- Daybreak Records

A Great new record store opened in Seattle in Fremont this weekend- RJ is an acquaintance of mine- he had worked at Jive Time for many years and has branched out on his own with Daybreak Records- the place is loaded with cool vintage LP's and 45's of all genres- the interior is beautiful with a sophisticated industrial chic vibe...

Stop Yelling!
Interesting. I think Jive Time is one of the best curated stores in Seattle. Small but very clean records for the most part. Yes they have gotten a bit pricier but hey, they are serving along with their Antiques store section across the street. RJ is a great guy. Alway says if there is a problem with a record, just bring it back. I will definitely check out his new spot!

I stopped in yesterday and RJ said he had a great first week of sales and is seeking to buy more vinyl--
The focus of the store will be quality used vinyl with a very selective section of interesting new vinyl planned for the future

 

This is a nice location, and taking over a disused storefront (I can't remember what used to be there, if anything) is great for the neighborhood. Also, there are at least three coffee places within easy walking distance - I always like to wind down with a coffee after record shopping - and then there's Paseo and a bunch of other restaurants too.

I thought prices were very fair, I looked up my purchases on Discogs and most were at the median or below. Most everything I bought was at least VG+, as well. YMMV, of course (didn't have a chance to look through the budget rock records).

 

As a long time Jive Time customer, I can say that RJ is fantastic to deal with. Very excited for him and I'll definitely be dropping by his new spot. Having Paseo across the street is dangerous!

 

I was driving down the street today and saw this store. It looks great! I need to go shopping there asap.

 

I plan on swinging by this weekend. Thanks for the heads up!

 

Is the store on Wallingford (next to Dick's Burgers) still there?

There was Second Time Around on University, but I believe that's long gone.

 

Yeah golden oldies or something is still next to Dicks

 

!
i've been in there a few times but i never find anything worth buying.

i need to check this new place out. i'm also a big fan of jive time!

 

Very fair prices and lots of top shelf records.
