THIS IS A GREAT MUSIC SHOP AND TRULY HAS EVERY TYPE OF RECORD,CD,TYPES, ANYTHING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THIS PLACE HAS. EVERYTIME I GO THERE IS ALWAYS CROWD BUT THE PRICES ARE WILL WORTH THE WAIT..

PROS: GREAT MUSIC STORE

at rasputin records you can find some classics this place is great they have good service . they also buy records from you this store is how all music stores should be.

Your classic record store . They have it all . From very old to just came out. They will trade or buy your old records too. This is what a record store use to be when I was growing up. The kind of record store that you can spend hours just browsing and listening to music

RASPUTIN RECORDS IS A GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR YOUR MUSIC THE SELECTION IS VERY LARGE I LOVE IT THEY CARRY EVERYTHING FROM CDS TO DVDS. THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE AS WELL.

Rasputins is a great music store. They also carry dvds, etc. Not only that but they will buy your old music, videos, etc and give you credit towards the new items you want to purchase. The staff is ecletic and they're opions advice are likewise.

this is one of the best places to find underground music in all of san francisco. they are known for having what would be hard to find albums in regular retail stores. however, there are problems with the store that need to be fixed. for one thing, the layout is horrible. trying to find your way around to certain artist can be a nightmare. the staff isnt helpful either. in addition to these problems, the prices for each CD is almost sky high. if you cant find your specific album anywhere else, try this place. if not, stay away

better than tower- this store has a huge selection of used cd's, for really cheap. it's like a thrift music store, within a music store. say, a new album came out last week. somebody bought a copy and returned it, opened, this week. they, then place it in the used cd section. and even though that cd new and has probably only been listened to, but a once- that newly released cd, is automatically marked down, half price

I like Rasputin, they have great sale prices on used stuff and sometimes older stock recordings. It's way less expensive than any chain in the area and the staff, while snobbish in their own indie way, really do know their music. I've found a lot of good underground independent rock for exceptionally good prices and whenever I go back to SF I stop by.

PROS: Good prices
CONS: Snobby employees

Rasputin music is annoyingly located on one of the busiest corners in the city. It is pretty much your run of the mill music store with rude sales people, overpriced top forty cds and loud and obnoxious music. They do have some good prices on used stuff, but I wouldn't make a trip there to shop on purpose. Drop by if you are there, but don't go out of your way.

The staff and the lay-out may not be the best, but Rasputin has a very wide selection of underground and hard-to-find music, especially those in the hip hop genre. Rasputin has an awesome used music selection that is hard to beat, both price-wise and selection-wise. The prices at Rasputin beats the regular price of CDs sold at chain storesm such as the Virgin Megastore up the street and the Sam Goody in the San Francisco Shopping Center, so that's a plus. And they sometimes have local artists there to sign autographs and such, adding a very nice flavor to the place.
