About Us

About Us

At Record Head, we’re proud to be the best place in the Milwaukee area to buy, sell and trade used media, movies and music. Our journey has been a long one, and it’s our experience that allows us to provide the best customer service in the business. Since our foundation over 40 years ago, the entire Record Head staff has worked to cultivate a community around the music and other media we love. 

Milwaukee’s longest-running record store started in the 1970s as a record and head shop, leading to the creation of the name Record Head. While we no longer carry head shop products or other items like sporting equipment or firearms, our store has grown over time with the industry. 

By the mid-80s, we expanded our inventory to instruments, sound systems and studio gear. As videotapes hit the market, we started carrying them too. Today, we’re Milwaukee’s hub for media and music, from records to movies to video games and everything in between. From vintage LPs and cartridge-based video games to musical instruments and CDs, you’ll find it all in one place at Record Head in West Allis.
