We’ve been spinning vinyl and turning heads since ’99. Over the years, Eclipse has shown up in places like Billboard, MPR, and CBS News — not just for our records (though yeah, they’re pretty great), but for the way we’ve always kept it loud, weird, and full of heart. Here’s what folks are saying:
Billboard
Billboard named Eclipse Records one of “The Best Minneapolis/St. Paul Record Stores,” highlighting our “best curated collections of new and used vinyl in the Twin Cities” and “massive selection of rock, soul, funk, hip-hop, country, local acts, and more.”
MPR News
“Eclipse is important not only for economic development, but as a destination for young people.” MPR News recognized Eclipse as one of the few all-ages venues in the region and a key part of revitalizing University Ave.
The Minnesota Daily
“Our philosophy is that everybody gets booked. Everybody gets a shot.”
The Minnesota Daily covered Eclipse’s early fight for all-ages live music, backed by 1,500+ supporters and a passionate local scene.
Sumiko
“A great choice for anyone who loves local indie music, jazz, blues, soul, or anything rare and obscure.” Sumiko noted our curated vinyl, in-store performances, and local venue ticketing.
CBS News Minnesota
CBS News Minnesota recognized us as “the only independent record store in St. Paul… and the lone St. Paul ticket outlet for First Avenue shows.”
