Super friendly & knowledgeable staff that you can tell knows their music. Great extras like a ladies clothing boutique corner, bargain $5 album box, & large selection of hard to find CDs!

It's a ritual to hit a record store whenever I'm out of town. With Memphis being historically deep…read moreinto music, it was fitting to make sure to make it happen this trip. Shangri- La Records was up the street from where we had BBQ & as soon as we walked in, the records covered wall to wall. So much to choose from. There was a section with a setup of drums & a mic stand. Came to find out there was a jam session that ended right before we walked in. I really really enjoyed the Memphis sections, whether it was based off of a record label (like Stax) or an artist (like OV Wright). When I found the record I ended up buying, I instantly told myself that I was going to back as long as I'm ever in Memphis. 'B-Ball's Best Kept Secret' is super rare. NBA players produced + performed on the album. I thought I was trippin' because I always heard about it on podcasts & when I saw the tracklist I was like "OH SNAP!!". The individual who helped at the register (who might've been the manager/owner) was really nice & hooked us up with a sticker (I collect local stickers). Great experience as a first time visitor + consumer.

Do you have mail order for your t-shirts?…read more We were the couple that came by 2 weeks ago on 3 consecutive days/nights and bought the two green "Memphis - Music Forever " t-shirts and a coaster. We admired the vinyl records collection, especially the soul/R & B collection which were actually reasonably priced. Al Green, TP, EWF, and other superstars. Malcolm was there the first two nights and we chatted with him. He is the owner's son - but clearly is more or less the owner- and was so personable and friendly that he is THE reason we bought swag here. We checked out the other Beale Street souvenir shops but this place was more than a step above the others, way better! We went to Graceland, Sun Studio, Stax Music, Four Way restaurant, Cozy Corner bbq, Charlie Vergoss (overrated), Kooky Canuck, and Sunrise biscuits - but Memphis Music Records Tapes & Souvenirs had the best vibe of any of them (Four Way was a close second, highly recommend). All because of Malcolm and the variety of inventory they have. Thank you!!! I would've bought more but my suitcase couldn't handle more!

I love it even more when the records are organized and have labels to help you find things so much easier... They also had areas for their new arrivals + a pretty large sale section!

This company has the best LP sleeves I've ever found, and their service was excellent. I placed an…read moreorder just after the New Year, 2021, prepaid. I never heard back, so I wrote to them in early February. I received a very terse and dismissive response. I chalked that up to COVID which I know has created havoc, as I acknowledged in my emails and VM messages. After waiting a while, I've tried to contact them (very politely) again here in March but have received no reply. I'm concerned that this once great little company is accepting online orders but is out of business, buyer beware. I hope they are all well, you never know these days though... Their customer response line offers to let you leave a message, but then returns to the original answering intro. The call intro says to call back during normal hours, even mid-day M-F. The online site mentions problems with the USPS for the past 2 1/2 months. 3/16/21 update - Sleeve City did contact me today regarding the delays. Upgrading my review today, will continue to upgrade if the order does eventually arrive.

I was a repeat and perfectly kind and good customer, I am shocked at how bad their service was...even though they admitted to having a shipping problem (which they never contacted me about) they basically forced me to go to my credit card company to get a refund ad I didn't want to use their link that my computer identified as a risk. Just beyond ridiculous. DONT GIVE THEM A PENNY! Pathetic Customer Service, and based on their repeated arrogance, its probably the owner.

This is the experience I want when I dig through the racks - I'd rather this than finding THE record I want at full price plus or a bunch of might-be-goods made unattractive by pricing that's too high. While the selection here is decent, and there were records that grabbed my eye, there's also a lot of stuff that's readily available at any thrift store across the country, that should/would be in a dollar bin at most record stores. However, selection really isn't the issue. The problem is the fact that more than half of the records aren't priced and you have to bring them up to the counter for the employee to, if I had to guess, price via discogs listings. I suppose since you've shown interest in the records by bringing them up to the counter, they feel like they don't have to be competitive with their quotes - they definitely aren't beating online prices, not even with the cost of shipping excluded. Needless to say, this is an utter buzzkill; what a horrible tease it is to have something pique your interest, excitement and anticipation gathering as you walk to the counter and wait for a price, only to be told a number that you're not willing to pay, that instantly kills your joy, that you could have found without leaving your home and wasting the time and the gas. Seriously, stay at home, you'll get better deals on a better selection on discogs and/or ebay.
