Over 160,000 records, cd's, cassettes, dvd's and collectibles of all types. If your looking for a rare record or a newly released record, you'll find it at Rick's.

While visiting in the area I found out about Rick's Records through word of mouth. Already going in…read moreI knew a couple of things: 1) quirky record shopping spot but worth a visit, 2) space is tight in the shop, and 3) categorization is hit and miss but there is plenty to browse through no matter which way you make your way through within the shop. There are all sorts of music and music-related items sold here that goes beyond vinyl but vinyl is what Rick has the most of. I saw cassettes, VHS, CD's, apparel, books, posters, vintage toys or memorabilia, and even laser picture discs here too. As you walk around you will see old and vintage posters and promotions pinned up that make the visit even more interesting. I found some good gems and like everyone else has explained in their reviews you will have a good 2-5 minute way to get a true price for your finds. Rick and his partner will inform you on the price after, what it seems, they make their evaluation on the records and might have to reference/look up pricing. The pricing was no doubt on the higher side of what you would find on Discog's for your pull of records but for me that was okay. I knew the records I stumbled upon could be rare (without checking on Discogs myself during my visit). I found a 1976 version of Patti Smith Horses that was in pretty decent condition for under $30 which is a fair price. Next time I am in the area I will definitely be back and make it a point to look for records within the 1950's - 90's era.

He has local music in another room. Two music rooms with guitars (acoustic, electric and bass). Mostly higher level stock but some items under $500.

Highly recommend!

While in the area this spot came up in my search for a record store in Shreveport, LA and when I…read moreshowed up and was able to take my time in browsing I was super happy this record shop popped up in my search. First of all this place is HUGE and there is something for every body here no matter what your music taste is. This shop has all sorts of music mediums as well that range from cassettes and vinyl to guitars and amps as well. Be sure to get a lay of the land from the owner so you have an idea of where you want to start your digging and browsing. I was glad I asked as there are so many nooks and crannies for you to get lost in. I was here primarily for vinyl so I ended up spending almost 2 hours here finding some incredible albums that were all fairly priced. Scott (the owner) has it all here in his curation of music from used/open vinyl to even the newest Record Store Day finds. Don't be afraid to take the records out and do some inspecting before you decide if you want to take the album home with you. I managed to miss a few things on what I purchased but only because I was pressed for time. Definitely make sure you inquire about what time they close as they close pretty early (6pm). The artwork and the amount of inventory Scott has here is remarkable. There is a story about every single piece of artwork and live performance posters he has up around the store. I was amazed at the quality of each artwork and piece. I had a great time walking around, browsing, and coming home with 7 albums to add to my vinyl collection. Parking is a little odd as there seems to be about a handful of spots in the front of the shop but street parking might be an option if it is busy here.

They really don't buy back much, if you're trying to unload your cd or dvd collection. They only really want the newest of releases it seems and mostly, even then, they offer you back a mere pittance in return, making you feel like an early 19th century British beggar wandering the store for alms when you're trying to peddle your wares. "Alms, sir?...Alms?...Alms for the cd, kind sir?...Alms for the dvd to feed a kind, gentle and yet meager young lad, sir?...Alms?" This is a great store to waste some time in, but it is not the store in which to get your bankroll back on Seasons 1-5 of "Desperate Housewives" dvd collection that you bought at Sam's Club back in February...

I can only pray that this review turns the tide... Not a fantastic music store, but the best one in town by a long shot. Cheap used vinyl, which is good--I own the entire Steely Dan catalog because of this store (with the exception of "Can't Buy A Thrill", every copy of which I find looks like it's been underwater since 1976), for which I am forever grateful. The problem of course is that they were very overpriced when it came to used CDs--who is going to spend eight dollars on a used Folk Implosion album? Someone, perhaps, but not me. Not that it matters, of course: no one buys CDs anymore anyway. The last time I set foot inside, there was a 60 year old woman looking for a Skid Row EP, which sadly illustrates what most of their clients were like. Ah life. The store is closing soon.

A lot of the books were older and the prizes were kinda high in my opinion for the ones I was looking at, but I completely understand the economy we are in and businesses need to stay open. The store itself is a little bit older and a little run down, but in okay condition.

Organized beyond belief!!…read more For an antique mall where the common staple is junk-a-plenty and disorganization equals charm, this place stands out from the rest in both these regards. Laid out in an elongated building in deep inside Antique Alley lies this southern charm. A central walkway that serves as the main avenue in which one can survey the entire mall leads patrons across sections of true antique treasures that are organized and orchestrated into separate stations of themes. From coke collectibles to a cornucopia of old vinyl records and from an assortment of books to baseball memorabilia, this establishment literally might have it all. Honestly, I can't get over how well-organized and enjoyable this place is. Take a look at their huge selection and great prices. They take cash or credit, and the owners are very friendly. Enjoy!
