Mr. Suit Records - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Hello, I'm a record store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, located at 118 West Chestnut Street (right next door to Transcending Flesh). I carry vinyl (both used and new) in nearly every genre imaginable (see "Music" section to your left), and I'll hopefully convince you that going to an actual store and scouring boxes of records is way more fun than just buying stuff off the internet. And yes, I am named after a Wire song.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Crate diggers, needle droppers, vinyl nerds, and generally anyone who knows that liking Black Flag doesn't mean that you can't like Miles Davis (and vice versa). Hours: Monday - Thursday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday + Saturday: 11 a.m. to 6/7/8-ish (if there's a concert or event going on, I'll most likely be open later). Sunday: Closed. Questions? Call the Mr. Suit hotline at 717 341 5269. I won't ask you to not drunk-dial me, but I'll ask you to at least try not to.
