  • 2011 | Best Place to Buy Vinyl

    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.

  • 2010 | Best Used-Records Bin

    Every box marked $1 sitting outside a record store is stuffed with classic rock. There are so many Led Zeppelin, Beatles, and Bruce Springsteen LPs in those bins, you could use them to re-side your house. What makes a used-record box truly great is its commitment to other genres. And one afternoon at Jive Time Records in Fremont produced albums by jazz greats Wynton Marsalis and Herbie Hancock, the cast of Sesame Street, even Richard Strauss' Thus Spake Zarathustra. Rounding out your Elton... More »

  • 2008 | Best Trace of Old Bohemian Fremont

    CD stores will soon be something we'll tell our grandkids about. But I have higher hopes for the staying power of vinyl shops, and a gem among them is Jive Time. Located in Fremont, which is desperately trying to hang on to its bohemian status, Jive Time is one of the few stores around there that still feels like it comes from a counterculture neighborhood. They carry a variety of obscure albums hidden among the popular treasures, and even offer coupons on their Web site for things like free... More »

    Another Day, Another Super Find at Jive Time

    By Erin Thompson | Mon, January 17, 2011

    I've been in a Black Keys frame of mind ever since they killed on SNL two weekends ago. Yesterday afternoon I was at Jive Time, digging through a collection that had just come in, not even priced, whe... More »

    CD stores will soon be something we'll tell our grandkids about. But I have higher hopes for the staying power of vinyl shops, and a gem among them is Jive Time. Located in Fremont, which is desperately trying to hang on to its bohemian status, Jive Time is one of the few stores around there that still feels like it comes from a counterculture neighborhood. They carry a variety of obscure albums hidden among the popular treasures, and even offer coupons on their Web site for things like free records. They also have a friendly and knowledgeable staff that knows music but won't make you feel bad about your tastes. Maybe that's where CD stores went wrong? I always felt my purchases just weren't quite good enough for the snooty staff, and iTunes makes it that much easier to hide my shame. But sifting through racks of records with the support of a judgment-free staff is a great way to pass an afternoon.—Suzie Rugh
