“It isn’t the largest record purveyor in Seattle, but the quality of Jive Time’s collection and the knowledge of its staff are second to none. For novice buyers, the $1 and $3 bins are perfect for strengthening a budding collection. And for the more advanced, respectable rock choices and a massive old-school soul, and jazz selection almost always yield a good find.”
