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 $4 bins are perfect for strengthening a budding collection with albums that won’t give you too much hiss or ruin needles. And for the more advanced, respectable rock choices and a massive old-school soul, jazz, and funk selection almost always yield a good find.
