The people of Arizona are very lucky. This is one of the best record shops (and owners) I have ever seen!
“We have a special receptacle that is blue and outside for those particular records.” 😂
I assume Herb Alpert records would also be filed there ... 😃

On my bucket list to visit your store! As a business owner myself, I totally respect how organized and well run your store is.
This is a “Perfect” record store. Will take a trip there someday from NYC.
I’m going to take a trip there someday from Antarctica.
I would have thought that NYC has endless amounts of brilliant record stores.
@@CuriousEnthusiast956 there are some decent ones, but nothing like this. Mike does it right.
@@ccarney1126 What would be some of your personal favorite record stores in New York?
@@CuriousEnthusiast956 there are a number of decent ones. Rough Trade. I like the ones out in NJ much better. Tunes in Hoboken and Sound Exchange is very good. Princeton record exchange is very good also.
Several weeks ago, while visiting Phoenix from Sacramento, I took a side trip to the In Groove.Wonderful store and Mike took a minute to talk to me. First class operation all the way.
this is an amazing record store.
Nice operation. It's nice to see the attention to detail reflected in the condition of the equipment and space, as well as your store's processes.
I'm speechless. This is like a candy store for music lovers. And the extra service is even more reason to be a (loyal) customer. ~Marjet
I always enjoy visiting the store when I get to Phoenix from the West Valley.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for the great tour and running such a top notch record store - your passion and knowledge for records & related equipment is really something. The shirt looks good on you as well.
Hats off and respect. I wish the stores in NYC had your level of quality
Wow, that place is immence! I particularly like the service you provide to clean and flatten old neglected records Would definitely pop by with some of the gems my dad handed me if I were close enough Great channel
As if I wasn’t jealous enough of all of the records then you show the hifi equipment! ❤
You weren't kidding when you said you didn't take a day off for the first five years...
Great tour, “actually“. 😆

@@johngaldieri5535 Did you actually count them hahahhaha
Absolutely FANTASTIC space!
Hands down best audio systems in a record store anywhere - period. Beautiful store. Wow! 😮 💪
Not enough people use that blue bin for the trashed Lps. It's an epidemic with one store selling LPs with white powder mold all over. I use clean inner sleeves for packing and covers for box stiffeners. Nice open concept store. You do what you love and love what you do. Thanks!
My goodness! Amazing store!
Very well done and great to see! thank you. I personally love the NON fluorescent lighting, softer and reminds me of my cave for being relaxed. Sigs Lagoon in Houston is great for this. Also like Posters and being engulfed in RnR memorabilia. However, I realize you do need to make profit on every inch of space you can. But would make it a Vinyl bucket list to visit the In Groove. Been to many throughout the U.S.
Wow!! Superb video Mike. Been waiting for this since 2020. Amazing how well your business has grown from the previous site. Many thanks
Nicely done. The fact that you have any free time to sit and enjoy music is amazing!
A unbelievable video. thanks for the tour keep up the good work. from Philly...
Outstanding a visit is definitely on my bucket list
Wow, I guess the question I had, "I wonder if there are any record stores selling albums like back in the day?" has been answered. Impressive operation. Maybe I need to rethink selling my Technics turntable !!
Excellent video. I enjoyed watching it this morning. I love the Jazz section and the equipment section. Thank you. From New Jersey.
Mike! You are the best. Nice building. I get comfort from your videos.
Shopped at The In Groove multiple times, incredible incredible selection of records. Thank you for the tour Mike.
You are the Record Guru!!
Oh my God! That's massive!
There will be haters but you're a businessman. Excellent video Mike. Keep doing what you do. Bish
What fun, thanks for the tour, Mike. Definitely on my bucket list to visit.
Thanks for this tour from germany! ❤
I have to admit what an amazing store. Everything is so well-organized well done 👍
A fascinating tour - thank you for taking the time to share. The whole store is so well thought through and beautifully presented - if I lived locally, I’d spend a LOT of time and money with you. Keep up the good work 👍
Wow! 10 stars. I'll have to visit the USA!
I forgot to go into the music room when I was there last October! Oh well, there is always a future visit!
You have a Beautiful Record store. Waaooo super Nice
I love seeing how the sausage is made! Great video!
That was great. Thanks, Mike
I've been watching your weekly 'new this week' vinyl drops and reviews of records for some time now. I haven't always agreed with you on some of your opinions and quite frankly, sometimes I've questioned your motives with some reviews. I am a buisness person who loves vinyl and have ran my own businesses over my 60+ years. I've had thoughts about opening my own record store when I "retire", and had some very specific things I would do if I do end up having a record store. I have to say, this video has impressed me and allowed me to respect you as a business person more than ever. As the old saying goes, "the devil is in the details" and you have certainly conquered that! Every thing has been thought out as a lover of vinyl records. Many of the things you are doing are things I have often thought I would do if I decided to open my own store. I have visited a lot of record stores locally and abroad, and quite frankly, yours is the best I have ever seen. Thank you for shariing and may you continue to have great success and devotion to this wonderful passion of ours.
My favorite record store. I've been coming to Phoenix every year for Cleveland Spring Training since 2010 and your store since opening about 5 years later - what a store! Always find something to bring home and I also order new through the mail. I'll have to ask to hear something in you listening room next year since you hadn't gotten the Getz/Gilberto Impex LP in yet the day I was there in March Keep up the excellent work!
Awesome ! Always wanted to see the inside of your record store. Great tour, gotta see your place live one day.
Wow this is an amazing store, you have it all covered! Your store is immaculate and exceptional, I wish you were in Vegas too 😔. Thanks for the great videos! 👍
Awesome. Always wanted to see this🤘 edit: simply amazing man.. i love the whole set up. Vinyl dreamland supreme
Very impressive set up, great job!
One of many places I miss visiting since moving out of Phoenix last year. Glad I got to meet you Mike!
Enjoyed the tour!
An awesone business you have there. Amazing. Very nice to see.
This was a really satisfying video to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Mike, your store and operation are impressive! I love shopping at The In Groove when I'm in Phoenix. Thanks for the great video!
Kudos to you and your dedication. It definitely is appreciated by us enthusiast
Wow! What a shop! I am definitely coming in! Awesome!❤
Incredible setup. Nice to see this kind of passion. I’d love to visit one day.
AWESOME record store! I loved my visit there a month ago and walked away with a couple of gems! Thank you!!!
This is quite the operation I’ll surely stop by if I ever make it to Phoenix!
I wish I still lived in phoenix to see this! I wish the store much success!
Came from Maine in 2022. Mike was the man!
Allll the way down the long long aisle and around the bend.Whew! thats a hike!. Very very cool Mike , congrats on your fab business.
Mike, anyone would be proud to have a record store like this in their town, especially when it has A/C and your town is as hot as Phoenix. Only thing I was hoping to see and didn't was a staff lounge area, with a couch like the one in Empire Records. Then you would reach truly epic heights.
Yay!! Im excited thank you for this cordial invitation
What a beautiful store
Lawrence Welk catchin' strays 😂
Speaking as a professional comedy writer of 35 years, that's an excellent joke right there! (at 10:20) :)
Wow! Just SUPER, Mike!! 🫢 Loved this video! (as I do ALL your review videos!). Boy, I wish there was a Store like your's in Australia!! 🇦🇺 😫🫤👍
"Lawrence Welk and Ray Coniff..." I hit a lot of estate sales in the Phoenix area and find thousands of those. Along with Mantovani, Jim Nabors, John Davidson, etc. And yet I have found unopened copies of Sinatra records from the 60s, a LN copy of 'It's A Beautiful Day' (first album), same thing with a dozen Harmonia Mundi records (absolutely beautiful and beautifully recorded early classical), LN copies of everything Paul Desmond and Stan Getz recorded (beautiful late night jazz. Actually, amazingly well recorded.). I do need to get my ass into "In Grove Record Store" ASAP. Can probably find in one visit what I've found in 3 years of estate sales. And don't discount Musical Heritage Society stuff. I bought 185 of the albums for $30.00 a few months ago. 90% of them in Ex to LN condition. Probably 80% of those sound excellent. And the music - Bach, Mozart, Handel, Hayden Vivaldi, Purcell, etc. A most wonderful collection of Baroque and early Classical music.
Wow! A very impressive operation you have there Mike.
On my drives from San Diego to Missouri I have passed through the shop a few times. Great store my friend!!
I live in Phoenix and I had no idea this place exists. I cannot wait to go, It looks amazing!
Awesome store! Top class
Impressive! Congratulations!
What a great video!! I am from Florida and if I ever make it to Phoenix, this is a MUST visit for me!
Beautiful store. Hope to visit one day
Great store, obviously catering to customers who are willing to pay top dollar for records. A very well organized store, probably the best I’ve seen, including the record stores I’ve worked in.
Great video! Really enjoyed it, and look forward to visiting in person someday soon, thanks!
Cool metal section! I’ll have to go check it out
Awesome tour Mike. Would love to spend time checking it all out someday. Best wishes from the GC in the meantime.
Outstanding! This is well oiled machine.
INSANE. Gotta come visit
Nice Record store. I will have to visit one day.
Good on you Mike, one hell of an operation for sure, so much time dedication and hard work..all made possible by Angel
Awesome!
I am highly very highly impressed with what this store offers. I need def go here. Bring some stuff to get repaired as well! This guy knows his stuff!
You have a amazing store!
Love the Tower Records style lettering out front
Going to get there when in AZ again. That is an F-Ton(s) of Records !
Impressive stuff, Mike! I enjoyed that. Would be good to see another vid or two on your own personal system(s) some time.
Great store and video - as a South African we don't have anything close to this level of range or availability, can only wish i somehow visit your store one day.
Me like this Thks for the tour Mike 🤩
Really good to see the full setup, all toper tier, the record flateners, the ultrasonics, the listening gear. Really nice to see the quality of the classical stuff you've got too. What I would do to have a store like yours locally to me! If I was state side, I'd definitely pop down to say hi.
Very impressive!
"I would assume that every genre of music we carry is the largest in the state of Arizona". That is probably an accurate statement - now that PDQ Records in Tucson is gone. Thanks for the tour Mike, I hope to visit and say hello one day!
Man, you've got a lot of records, sir .... What an awesome store! I wish I lived near the In Groove, my local store doesn't have half the selection, nor does it have the Sq footage -- It's a cute little shop, but it'd difficult to walk through without stepping on LPs or other people! Thanks for the tour and keep up the good work!
Fascinating insight to In'groove...! Probably never get the chance to visit as i'm UK based but now I know what the store looks like..
Thank you for having a dedicated Punk section. This is a genre that didn't "bounce back" recently, the punk kids have been buying vinyl the entire time. Too often this is lumped in with indie/alternative and just complicates things; and we're not the brightest or most patient demographic. Cheers!
My work is flying me out to chandler in a couple months and will be stopping by
Thanks for the tour. Looking for a show there in Phoenix to justify me flying down from Alaska to visit your shop!
Killer store! Need to make it out there one day.
Hello guys I ordered my first Lp from you Sunday…. look forward to it! Greetings from Joe ( Dirk) Germany 😎🎸🎸
The building is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, always an awesome visit whenever we are in town from New Mexico 😎🤘
