I was so pleasantly surprised to see Antone's Record Shop in the midst of it all! They've got a massive selection of records, all organized and labeled properly. The whole store was well-kept and clean too. Nothing felt out of sorts at all. It was extremely hot that day so popping indoors to browse around was also a major plus.

They mostly have vinyl records but their CD collection is pretty strong, especially for local Austin artists. I didn't check the vinyl prices but for used cds, many or most were $5 or less.

It used to be the only place you could buy the annual compilation of curated music played on KGSR Which was an incredible, eclectic station until it rebranded.

I think the last one I purchased was from year 23 which was the last time I was at Waterloo.

It's been a hot minute since I've spoken with someone about music (I'm a victim of Spotify and skipping what I don't like). It was great to meet June, and help me pick out something that fitted what I needed/wanted. Highly recommend. There are listening stations in the shop and if the showroom isn't busy, I'm sure June will be more than happy to play on the turntables. The art of music isn't gone! This brings me so much happiness!! Prices vary from each album, but everything labeled and fair. June will play samples from selected albums and see if the tunes fit your needs. Customer service isn't dead!

The store is well-organized and the folks working here know their stuff! From the rare and obscure to the trendy they can answer you. Their opinions and thoughts on music are bar-none some of the best. You can find just about anything you're looking for from vintage vinyl to super vintage vinyl, cassettes, 7" vinyl (aka 45s), and even 8-tracks. Bargain bins where you can grab music for just a buck! I like that you can listen to music before buying it as well. Like, don't try and sit there listening to an entire recording and then leave. Listen for a sample and make your decision. They also offer repair services (turntables, cassette players, etc.). Great local business. Support them.

Breakaway Records is like a records museum! The store has mainly vinyl records and a very large…read moreselection. The store is located on North Loop in Austin, TX off the beaten path. According to staff, Breakaway Records opened in 2008, moved to its current North Loop location in 2010, and later expanded the space. The store is clean, well-organized, and with items strategically arranged with excellent signage. There was no piled-on dust that you tend to see in music stores housing old vinyl records. Breakaway's true highlight was the breadth and depth of its music items and accessories. The shop had an extensive collection of used vinyl and 45s, spanning genres as well as ages that primarily focused on soul, jazz, funk, hip hop, international sounds, punk, and rock. Flipping through their vinyl records was easy and enjoyable with some surprise finds. Listening stations let you preview records before you buy. The staff were knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about music. They'll either give you space to browse or gladly answer questions, depending on what you prefer. Breakaway also sells 45, CDs (small section) and record players. The store carries stereo gear and accessories at a range of prices including turntables, receivers, speakers, and small essentials. They did not have any small music tapes or 8-track tapes...probably my nieces and nephews have never heard of these. Smile. Great discovery...great visit...

They do have a lot of new and old vinyl including much of it in the $2.50 bargain bins. All the records in the bins are under alphabetical order, however, no artists are listed in between the letters. It is sectioned by hip-hop, folk, jazz, electronic, blues, rock 'n' roll, country, etc.. They do have some 45s and CDs for sale, but I spotted no cassette tapes. They also do not sell any vintage stereo equipment or speakers. I found the prices to be fairly reasonable, but some were a little high. As an avid vinyl collector, I'd give this place 3 stars based on their decent inventory and friendly service.
