Russell Reitz, a lifelong music fan, started Listen Up! in 1996. The 1,500-square-foot store, located at One South Avenue in Natick, carries new and used CDs, used LPs and cassettes, used DVD and VHS movies, new and used music videos, posters, and more.

Music genres include rock, country, jazz, world, reggae, blues, rap, folk and easy listening. Listen Up! specializes in classic rock, jazz, and blues, and also makes special orders. Everything is inspected and guaranteed. If a CD slips through the cracks and doesn't play, the customer can come back and exchange it for something else.

Listen Up! is a throwback to the old-fashioned store people grew up with. Russell likes to talk with people about their purchases. He takes the time to help a customer who is looking for a song but doesn't know who did it, or who asks for his recommendations. It's all about personal interaction.
