Cactus Music

Houston record lovers went into deep depression when this indie shop abruptly shut down in 2006. But it was reincarnated better than ever to a new location in Shepherd Plaza in 2007.

Best place to be for Record Store Day if you come early. They really control the chaos and give everyone a fair chance to get what they want.

Best record store in the city . A Houston institution! Awesome staff , tons of free live music + free beer on weekends!

Awesome old school music store , thanks for bring CHVRCHES! Love it.

Absolutely amazing record shop with a friendly , knowledgeable staff . Mandatory.

Also they have a pretty tight collection of other things like day of the dead stuff by a local artist , tshirts, posters and box sets

A Texas institution. You can listen to LPs over the sound system to figure out what you want.

Best place to find both indie and old stuff. I got a young girls album AND a till Tuesday (Aimee manns old band) album.

While you're here, pick up a copy of We Were Wolves' Shrimpy 7-inch, the first release on Wrong Side of Texas Records , a Beaumont-based label Read more

They got it all

Go dive into their dollar bin but be careful and look at the record for scratches. I found a copy of a Pat Benatar album but it kept skipping on "Heartbreaker." Not good.

Check out the "pre-<3'd" cd's!!

Music addiction is bad here.

P.S. lock on bathroom is questionable. Be prepared.

Yes they have record player needles!

Buy tickets for a show + 1$ service fee - stick it to Ticketmaster

Buy some vinyl ! But watch out, it could become an obsession...
