    Good things come in small packages! Tiny shop that has been excellently curated! Wide selection from common to rare. Lots of great Shoegaze! Very fair prices, in line with what you would see on Discogs. One tip, be careful where you park, it's a little confusing but directly across the street is what they recommend. Happy to have another record store in town!

    I decided to come in one Sunday afternoon to check out the record collection and see what I could…read morefind, and boy was I a happy lady to take a chance. The name sounded super familiar to me, so I had a hunch it might be the same owners/shop as the one they had in Austin (which is no longer around), and it was!!!!! We walked into a giant space with many records, genres, and great vintage music items you can take pictures of and post on the 'gram. They have so many vintage posters and items hanging all over the walls and ceilings here! Take your time as you look around, as there are so many artists and genres you may want to have and collect for yourself. I found a rare vinyl LP of all San Antonio artists (old and new) that I could not have found anywhere else. It was an excellent price for such a great find! I even found an excellent 1970s stand-up live comedy stint that Cheech and Chong did in LA here that is excellent quality and has beautiful pictures inside the LP. The employees were super helpful, too, and even offered to recommend an artist or bands to listen to if you let them know you were down. There are turntables and headphones for you to plop down the record you are considering and give it a spin before you buy it. Parking is located at the back of the building with no fuss. There seems to be some construction along the front of the building, so I am unsure if you can park there once that is done. I have added this shop as a stop whenever I visit San Antonio, as it is a unique record gem hidden in SA.

    Incredible folks here. Going through a rough time and needed a record overnighted to California…read more These guys came through for me and went above and beyond. They've earned my loyalty, even though I live in California I'll be shopping their discogs.

They even have a section dedicated to Numero Group releases, which I thought was super rad. If you want to try your hand at the bargain bin, there's a room with 50-cent records, too. There is a section near the front (you'll need to kneel) of clearance records underneath some New Arrivals. The folks who work here know and love music, so if you have any questions, I'm sure they'd be happy to chat about it.

    Every visit to San Antonio I make it a point to come out to Crazy Rhythms records store to see…read moretheir unique selection of records. I always end up walking out with more than 2 records each visit as their pricing and selection is worth visiting each time. The layout of the shop is great. I recommend starting left side of the shop and work your way around to the right side. You will find all genres sorted out and organized in a very simple and easy to navigate way. Most of the newest arrivals (from folks who are selling or trading their records in) to the back left side. I like starting here just in case I end up finding something cool that just came in. It's a nice way to be able to see what came through to the shop in the last day or two and these records are always diverse in genre. I really enjoy the vintage collection the shop has as decor here. I have seen 8-track players, lunch boxes, older posters from classic albums, cassette players, and even some cool nostalgic childhood toys. I kept smiling at each vintage or throwback items I saw that often tells you "not for sale" or "NFS" stickers on it. As a record collector I take the condition of records seriously before purchasing. I am the annoying record collector who will slide the record out of the sleeve and bend it up to the light to check for scratches, dirt, dust, etc. The last few visits at Crazy Rhythms I have been purchasing and not checking the condition or quality because I trust what I am getting is going to be playable and no bumps/hiccups when I do play them. You will get very good to high-quality records here no doubt. Just heads up - every record collector should know that the cheaper the price (aka clearance or discounted items) usually the quality will suffer but THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE. You will get better than great quality records and anything that is priced low is probably overstock, common record/selection, and is always priced fairly. You can trust in this record store. Trust. Parking is super easy - just pull right up to the front of the store or park in the private lot. Even when the tourist attractions are busy around the store you will most definitely be able to stop in without having to worry about parking. Parking is never a thing for me even when Fiesta is happening. Check out the selections I have picked up in the few times I have come thru in my photos.

    Once again Fernanda put together a smooth running event. I do love this event…read more I shop here regularly. So, the opportunity to come & show them more love is okay by me. Their volunteers are always so helpful & knowledgeable. Its why I come back. Well, & the books. I came this time wanting cookbooks. I hadn't ever looked at their selection before. I collect vintage cookbooks, (yes, I use them too. ), I was happy to see the selection they had. I'll be back to look. Definitely adding this area to my focus. Right around the corner from the cookbooks are the vintage books. Well, they had this wonderful little Dick Tracy book. I knew it was coming home with me. Then, when I went to psy they were going to give me the Dick Tracy one. I told them no, I wanted to pay for it, it gives them the money. Isn't that the point!?

The selection is really impressive, especially if you're into Texas history, local authors, antique books, or those special finds you don't usually come across at bigger bookstores - and at a great price. and I could've easily spent way more time browsing - it's well organized and fun to explore without feeling overwhelming. The staff truly made the visit even better. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely happy to help or just chat, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.
