Nearing the end of a brief visit to Dallas recently--from Saturday afternoon to early Sunday…read moreafternoon--I decided to check out Josey Records in Dallas. To me, as someone who fits into the record collector/record dealer/cratedigger and DJ categories, visiting a record store I've never been to before is always an exciting or intriguing adventure. Josey has a reputation for being a good spot to buy records, so I am glad I finally went here to see what's up. Just looking around the store initially, I could see there are several areas in which the store could be improved or made more interesting. My first observation re: genre sections is that the signage for aisles could be more prominent. All of it is placed rather low, but at great record stores, you're never left guessing where everything is. You just find the music you're looking for more easily. With the massive volume of music releases in the store, I would like to see better curation of what's in stock. For example there were lots of Brian Eno releases, but not the ones I'd be interested in. For Parliament Funkadelic, there were just 2 Parliament 45s, but no Funkadelic and no George Clinton 45s. I thought that was weird. I was also looking for a famous jazz guitarist who's listed on the website, but the guy working the counter didn't even know who he was. Overall, I think the selection is decent if you are willing to spend time just looking through various sections, but there's no help on the floor--so you're just basically on your own. It kind of reminded me of shopping for records in a warehouse, but the warehouse I usually go to has much better curation. I should also state I tend to like smaller stores which get the mix of old and new releases more right or perhaps even focus on a certain niche. On a different note, in addition to music, there are lots of other cool things at Josey: a stage for performances, books, posters, tshirts and other ephemera. So, it is easy for music nerds to get lost here. Also, the parking situation is really good here, and I thought the service was good--the guys here are friendly, and one of them did go back into the aisles to look for something. Overall, I would rate this store a 4/5.

When I've recently met some Dallas artists that I ended up performing at Top Ten with, it messed me up that this spot's on the same street & that I never knew about it this whole time. Finally coming around to perform here & all that led up to it was a great experience. The communication was always good to make sure things would go good (all the way from social media to being on location for the day of the show). The sound guy was efficient & always made sure the artists & I were set for the night. The sound was good, the crowd enjoyed the night. The staff was nice as well, very friendly & were letting us in on some future plans dealing with music shows. One thing I didn't get a chance to do was dive fully into the selections of vinyl on deck. The spot is intimate & very suitable for DJs to spin, open mic, spoken word, etc type of events. It didn't take long for me to plot on the next show to do here. Outside of having a great show, I had a great night overall.

Only disappointing thing maybe is that we were interested in quite a few books but many of them vol 1 and 2 were not available. But I guess that's a good sign for the shop!

It's where you would come just for a book that has been researched and carefully selected. It's more than a place just to find excellent reference material. There is a feel of christian passion for quality research on the reading material that they have selected to carry. The christian book selection is pretty darn good, I must say! The staff is there to help with your selection for purchase or to check out. Please note: There are different areas for either purchase or to check out. For some of the different Sunday school classes, the teachers have / and or may selected books from this book store for a more in-depth understanding of what the class maybe about. Now the only times that I've been here is on Sundays before or after a church service. They are located in the church downstairs. I hope you find with what you're looking for, book wise / or for your research. If they do not have the book that you're after, they are more than happy to order it. Top notch customer service from what I have seen! Would I return? Yes, I would return!

I worked out a great deal with Darrell. The company emailed me the price which was not what Darrell and I had discussed. I replied to the email and never heard back. I text him and never heard back. Finally I called him and he assured me the price would be what we discussed. In party day I got a text about 30 minutes before they would be late to the party because they were having generator issues. Ok, no problem, I understand machines can break, so I said what time do you think you will be here? I do have to entertain kids at a party after all. Once again no response. Finally I hear back they aren't going to make it because they got a new generator but the driver of the van left with the keys. I'm not sure who runs this company, but I'd guess no one is really "running" it. They offered to make it up to me some how, but after asking a way for them to do that, no response again. Thank goodness I never paid anything upfront!
