Your A-List, Best Place to Buy New Records
Where’s the best place to buy new records? Our A-List voters overwhelming chose a shop that serves as a poster child for local businesses. Waterloo Records, which earned 67 percent of the vote, not only provides a pleasant, welcoming place to browse, it stages countless special events — a proven way to personalize and socialize the music experience.
Antone’s, with its deep, broad collection of blues and related forms, came in second with 7 percent. Cheapo Discs, the warehouse-style retailer of discounted and recyled records, came in just behind. End of an Ear, the South First haven beloved by afficiandos, nabbed 5 percent, while multiply located Half-Price Books and Backspin tied with just under 4 percent. Copping less than 3 percent were Austin Record Convention, DJ Dojo, Music Mania, Sound on Sound and Friends of Sound.
