CultureMap HoustonDecember 6, 2011Houston record lovers went into deep depression when this indie shop abruptly shut down in 2006. But it was reincarnated better than ever to a new location in Shepherd Plaza in 2007.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Best place to be for Record Store Day if you come early. They really control the chaos and give everyone a fair chance to get what they want.

Jeff ColwellApril 8, 2019Absolutely amazing record shop with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Mandatory.- Also they have a pretty tight collection of other things like day of the dead stuff by a local artist, tshirts, posters and box sets
A Texas institution. You can listen to LPs over the sound system to figure out what you want.- Best place to find both indie and old stuff. I got a young girls album AND a till Tuesday (Aimee manns old band) album.

Free beer from St. Arnold's Brewery at all in-store performances.- DesignBiggerApril 16, 2011Check out an afternoon performance and grab a St. Arnold's beer. Happy Record Store Day!
- Go dive into their dollar bin but be careful and look at the record for scratches. I found a copy of a Pat Benatar album but it kept skipping on "Heartbreaker." Not good.
Buy some vinyl! But watch out, it could become an obsession...
