John has the best selection and will work to find whatever you need. It's America's oldest record shop for goodness sake! I always find something here when visiting Johnstown and it's a must on every trip. Last time I picked up a local artist's vinyl on John's recommendation and I love that the shop supports that.

Has been in my life since I was a young boy growing up downtown it's amazing that 45 years later I can still get music from the same place I did as a 12-year-old and he still has all the music that I grew up with and even music that my children grew up with.

This place was awesome! My dad took me there today for my birthday and had a blast! They had so many record I never thought I’d see! They even had some original pressings from so long ago!! People say they overcharge, but their prices are more than fair! Definitely recommend!

A cool store with a unique vibe. The owner was curious as to what I was doing there, given that I don’t need vinyl records nor CDs , but I was really just curious about these old albums, ads, etc.

If you are in the Johnstown, Pennsylvania area and are a music fan, then George's Song Shop is a the place for you. This is America's oldest record store which opened in the 1930's. Little known fact: George's Song Shop also specializes in hard to find 45s. Take a look at my pictures but know that this is a place that needs to be experienced first hand. Our finds of the day: My son picked up a Queen vinyl album while I found an older, hard to find, Johnny Cash vinyl album as well as his last album on CD. Great experience to share with my son who is a musician!

George's is the best. Great selection and they're a walking encyclopedia of musical knowledge. If you love rock then this is your place because these folks do too.

Awesome little record store. If you are a 45 collector, they have it all. Great selection of vintage and new vinyl. Stop in and see "The oldest record store in America".

This record store was great! You must go to it if you are in or around the town! It has survived almost 100 years. The selection is very good, especially the sheer amount of 45’s. I drove up from Baltimore to visit and film the store for YouTube. The owner John was extremely kind, helped me find items I was looking for, and told me some history of the store as well. Loved the place! - YouTube: Lenny Florentine

George is a good guy, he likes Soul and definitely has one. This business has been around for 90+ years. Really nice collection of both old and some new records that makes the trip up from Pittsburgh worth it. Also for sale are original and new cassettes from when it was released. Some cassettes still have their wrappers on them. Ample amount of 45s to keep you busy. Store closes at 4pm so definitely plan for a Saturday visit, or make the most of it during a museum or incline visit. George also recommends dining next door at Gallina's, and I do too. Good people all around.
