Prices were great, too. I didn't interact heavily with the staff, but what little interaction I had was very pleasant. A great experience and a great shop, I highly recommend it.

I'm glad Lubbock has a legit record store in town. This place really checks all the boxes. Records…read moreand CDs galore, plus an entire half of the store dedicated to DVDs and video games. There's also a smattering of fan goods and collectibles. Plus, this appears to be the go-to store for local concert tickets. I've been tracking down CDs that were once a big part of my teen and young adult era looking to replace that feeling of listening to a full CD through from beginning to end. I came across a copy of Hoobastank's first album and bought it without much thought. It was $6, honestly a bit high, but I like that album. The staff member helping me was great and went above and beyond. They didn't have much else I was looking for, and records aren't really my thing. Definitely worth a visit for y'all vinyl lovers out there.

Pretty cool store! This was my first time in one. I e seen them before but never went in…read more They sell a lot of records, DVD's, books and more. It appears as though you can sell your items or trade them. My daughter bought two comic books. I just looked around although I saw a record I wanted. I have 5 that I've bought since being in TX. That's enough lol!

This review is mostly a copy of another review of a different location for this exact same chain…read morestore. As a bit of a lifelong closeted fantasy and pop culture fan, I love that this store has come along. I just wish it had been around when I was a teen. This store (and any location, really) is fully loaded. I'm going to let this review be taken over by a huge list here that still doesn't capture everything. - tarot and oracle decks and books - spellbooks, metaphysical, witchcraft, runes - goblets, mugs, candles, sage, palo santo, incense, wind chimes, crystals - buttons, pins, keychains, jewelry, stickers - vinyl and CDs, used and new, and players - musical instruments (ukuleles, guitars, and more) - t-shirts, hats, backpacks, and socks - pop toys, squish mallows, stuffed animals - audio books and movie DVDs - majority of the store is books of all kinds - always worth a look at the clearance section - puzzles, board games, tabletop trading card games like MTG and Pokemon - children's toys, Legos, Nerf, action figures - calendars, planners, journals, inspirational wall hangings - manga, anime, comics (DC, Marvel, and more) - video games for all systems current and past - Fred and Kikkerland knickknacks - mystery mini boxes, pouches, gaccha collectibles - antique/linen postcards - fantasy dragon and fairy statues - fandom specific collectibles (Harry Potter, Disney, and more) The store seems in constant disarray simply from the fact that there is so much variety. Literally nothing is fully alphabetized, and asking someone to look up an item you're searching for is mostly pointless beyond them being able to tell you it's most likely "somewhere" in the store. This is my biggest gripe here. However, if you're accustomed to searching through piles of random objects at places like thrift stores and secondhand stores, you may enjoy going on the hunt at this store too. They buy an array of pre-owned items here too. But worth noting that if you sell here in the morning then realize you forgot something and come back, they will not buy from you again in the same day. They lose stars for that inconvenience factor, too. I would imagine that based on need, they will buy anything that they would sell. I've personally sold Magic the Gathering cards here before. Value given in store credit is higher than cash, but be prepared to feel ripped off either way. Prices on used items are decent, but on new it can often be huge compared to buying online ($60 vs $35 in one instance). This is otherwise a great store to burn time in reading and browsing.

Came here and when we walked in we were told about some sale going on. They have some really cool…read morestuff, but the two guys that were there at the time were to busy chasing the tale of the barley 21 year old girl in there to help us with any questions apparently lmao and we know she was barley 21 because we heard her tell them. I don't think we'd come back here after that.

This is by far the best shop for Alternative Merch in town! The Owner is really chill and kind and…read morewill offer you help with any questions you have. He is very knowledgable about all types of bands ranging from decades and eras to specific types of genre. Not only that, if you don't see a band you love he will offer to find it for you and put it in the shop. I recommend this shop highly if you have a family or friend that absolutely loves mainstream or obscure music taste. The shop is located at 3636 50th St, Lubbock, TX 79413 FROM BACKSTAGE ROCK N' ROLL GIFT SHOP "From rare vintage records to men's & women's rock n' roll apparel, Backstage Rock n' Roll Gift Shop in Lubbock, TX has you covered.

5 Star. It's just a neat place to go to. It's like a Dollar Store / Flea Market combined. Prices…read moreare good. Could be better, a bit lower, but OK. You never know what you're going to see "New" that came in. Sure, they have a lot of the same stuff that comes in over and over, but there's always something NEW stocked in between all that older stuff sitting there on the shelves. Place looked like hell, trashy under previous Management. New Management and new set of Employees has really cleaned it up. Worth a walk thru every couple of weeks just to see what all has come in recently. Do Recommend. At the very least, stop by and just walk thru it. Even going in not looking to buy anything, you're going to BUY something. Guaranteed. (LOL)

I wish our (Loveland, CO) B&N was this big. I stopped by the "Current Affairs" racks and was…read morefascinated to see that the shelves are stocked entirely differently than my local B&N. Yes, there is some overlap, but not much. If "what sells" is guiding the stocking of each store, it reveals that the good people of Lubbock have a lot more common sense. Let's just say that Thomas Sowell isn't a big seller where I live.

The staff at checkout was very friendly. I didn't see many staff members when I was in the store…read more There was a wide variety of different types of books with all different prices. They have a Starbucks inside with seating all around. It's always very busy since it's connected to the mall.

Sort of a blue stocking store which if you're from New England you know what I mean but since this…read moreis Texas I'm pretty sure you don't which is amazing that there is a bookstore in Texas since most Texans would rather not read but those of us who still like reading usually are blue stockings. See my tautology. If you read you would know what I did and what a tautology is. I'm pretty sure the clerks know this word. Which is good for a bookstore clerk. Best collection of used hardcover John Irving novels and second best collection of used cliff notes in the state. I wonder if John Irving knows what a tautology is. Maybe he would use a cliff note to find out. Either way they probably have it here used.
