Voting Home / R5 Records and Video
Nominated for: BEST Records and CDs
R5 Records and Video opened in June of 2007 at 16th and Broadway in one of the best neighborhood locations in all of Sacramento, CA. From the beginning it was not designed to compete with the 'Big Box' competitors. The goal was to offer everything the big boys carry but really concentrate on the 'good stuff'. The coolest Indie section. Eclectic Jazz everyone else is afraid to stock. Great collections at really low prices. You get the idea. A really great record store. The store is staffed by some of the best audio and video buyers in the country. Their mission/passion is to carry the most interesting stuff and cater to the real 'music freaks' and still carry everything. And they also scour the ether for better and better deals so the customers can always find something new and at great prices. In fact, most of the prices are the same or lower than Internet prices. They are expert researchers and can find just about anything in the world which can be special ordered by taking down your information and calling you when it arrives. It's the epitome of the personal touch. R5 also has live music that's sometimes inside and sometimes outside. From local bands to touring Indies. Country to string quartets.
