Topping the list is Electric Fetus. Located at 2000 Fourth Ave. South in Whittier, the spot to score music, DVDs and vinyl records is the highest-rated vinyl record spot in Minneapolis, boasting 4.5 stars out of 127 reviews on Yelp.

"Great store — plenty of items to purchase as a gift or personal use," wrote Yelper Mikey M. "The staff is very helpful and friendly. Good prices on many items and a great variety of music to select."

Next up is Cooper's Hymie's Vintage Records, situated at 3820 E. Lake St. With 4.5 stars out of 26 reviews on Yelp, the spot to score music, DVDs and vinyl records has proven to be a local favorite.

"They have a large selection of all types of genres," noted Yelper Dylan M. "I really enjoyed the vibe here. There is a ton of new, re-released records so if you're looking for original releases, I would look elsewhere."

3. Roadrunner Records

Roadrunner Records, a spot to score music, DVDs and vinyl records in Kingfield, is another go-to, with four stars out of 15 Yelp reviews. Head over to 4304 Nicollet Ave. to see for yourself.

"Nice little hole-in-the-wall shop in Minneapolis, which still has more than its share of decent-to-good record stores," wrote Yelper Matt T. "Mostly used vinyl here, with some CDs. Check the new arrivals bin first. You can make some good finds in this store with a little digging. The guy working behind the counter has always been friendly when I've shopped here."
