holycowrecords

Holy Cow Records is a brick and mortar vintage record store in Seattle's Pike Place Market. We have been continuously operating for 26 years. We also sell online.
Online inventory is housed outside of the retail store. We can transfer records to the store for purchase by request. Our inventory is visual not play graded.

Current project: working our way through a vast 7 inch collection. Adding inventory for sale and contributing to db improvements when we can.
