In Short
A spectrum of music fans hang here, some looking for Britney's latest, while other's hunt for indie releases sold on consignment. Drop by when you have time to spare--or kill. Cellophane Square stocks a comprehensive selection of new and popular discs--you can get Blonde Redhead or 'N Sync--but this chain's biggest virtue is rewarding determined shoppers who start at "A" and flip all the way to "Z."

there is a pretty good selection here, but the jazz/blues sections are rather small. If you are looking for rock/indie/electronics, this is a great place to go. Also there is a skufs section with better prices.

I'm writing my review more than 2 1/2 years after the last review, and longer than 3 1/2 years after the review before that. Things certainly are NO better at this store now. The storefront itself is nice, but their prices for both new and used discs and LPs are average or greater, therefore you'd think they would try to be exceptional in some way. The staff barely glances at you and never says a word; even at the register, not even a smile. I've been going there for a few years now and I've always had a below average experience. There are so many other places I'd rather go.

While its still pretty good. I think it actually used to be a bit better. Cellophane Square is located in the University District and while they do sell new stuff, this is the place to go to find the long lost cd you have been looking for. I think alot of studens are hocking their old cd collections after burning to their ipods! I have found that the turnaround is pretty fast so you check in off and on you will a whole other inventory. If you are a music freak like me you will want to check this place out.

When to Go:
Frequent in-store appearances make Saturdays a good time to come in and browse the racks, as you may find yourself listening to live indie pop instead of being at the mercy of the counter staff's taste.
The Extras:
Hungry? Drop into one of Seattle's favorite (and cheap!) Thai eateries, Thai Tom.
