This store isn't as big as the downtown store, but it is much easier to get to. They sell used CD's, comics, dvd's, old records, and lots of cool stuff. This is my souce for cardboard packing that I use for shipping photos.

This Great Escape location is improving

by recordhunter at Citysearch

On my recent day of record shopping in Nashville (June 15), I made the short drive to The Great Escape's Madison location and ended up spending the majority of my day here! They always have some good vinyl, and occasionally some really good vinyl, and this day turned out to be the latter. As with most vinyl stores these days, there were lots of average titles too. I frequently stop at Great Escape Madison when in Middle Tennessee, and this day I believe I bought more good stuff and spent the most $ I ever have at one time here. The selection is not always as good as it was this day, but it is worth the drive to see what they have.

Great Escape Madison Third best record store in Nashville. Some GOOD DEALS to be Found.

Great Escape has 3 record stores in Nashville / Madison.

Main store off Broadway has many rare records. Good selection of rock and country. Some promos at times. Sales are often and twice a year blowouts. More on the common side on CD's.

Half Price store is open Friday's and Saturdays only. Great deal, if you come early. Some Ebay sellers are there at opening. $1 records and $1 CD's up to $4. Best place to find record deals in Nashville.

Madison store has good deals but the better selection is at Broadway.

By the way Bowling Green, Kentucky has a Great Escape too.

Madison Store has a good selection when the Broadway store could not sell it they move the record to Madison. (July 18, 2006)

• Pros:  GOOD DEALS to be found. Price is good.
• Cons: Some of the records have been there for years, More turn around. Comics take up to much space.
