Do you buy records, tapes, gear, etc.?

I’m looking for a specific record. What do you have in stock?

We have tens of thousands of new and used records (and other media) in the shop.

  • We primarily carry vinyl (LPs and 45s), and we also have a collection of cassettes, CDs, 8-tracks, 78s, and VHS.

  • We’ve got used records at all price points: expensive, hard-to-find rarities, common classics, as well as hundreds of $1 & $3 bargains.

We also stock lots of new LPs: current releases, re-issues, well-known artists AND lesser-known genres and artists that we find interesting or vouch for personally.

  • Many of our used products are not tracked in our inventory, but you are always welcome to call us at (512) 538-0174 if you are looking for something specific.

  • We often post used record drops and new releases on our Instagram.

 
 

How can I keep up with new releases, gear bundles, and used record drops?
