Record Guys helped calm my craving to dig recently…read more I hadn't been in a record shop since I left L.A. during the summer of 2022! This Abilene-based shop had two of the nicest guys - a father-son duo - working the front when I was there (11/21/2023). The dad pointed out the mural on the wall outside before I walked inside. Gave me some insight about the local artist who painted it. Inside you'll find mostly 33s, but there's more... to 45s to CDs to VHSs and tapes, posters, speakers, record players, memorabilia... Ya know, I didn't see much blues. That was the only pitfall for me. I was stoked when the dad, a former schoolteacher, mentioned the NEW Billy Idol Christmas record I snatched was really good. "He's a real crooner on this one..." And that's why I love record shops. Check out their Black Friday sale... I'm missing out some really good deals, but that's life.

This place has been okay at times but they never order stuff when it needs to be done. I waited…read morealmost a full month for Pokémon X to be ordered and they never did it. How do you not keep games that are definite sellers in-stock? This goes for Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Amiibo and various other things. The classic games are cool but you won't get much in trade unless you know what you have. They can rip people off but it depends who does the trade. If they can get away with low balling you they will. Before they reopened again they had closed down. Almost every worker there had left or got "fired". To be honest, I don't think the owners know what they're doing. I honestly have no idea how they didn't stay closed. It's just not a great place.

They are open Wednesday through Friday 1pm - 5pm and Saturday 12:30-7pm. They have a great selection of paperbacks, retro posters, vintage collectables, trading cards, and even hard to find beverages! The people inside are the friendliest I have ever found and I look forward to seeing them again and again. If you are in Abilene and enjoy any of these things I listed, go off N. 1st St and check this place out!

I do wish he could be open every day, but that's hopefully in the work. The owner is very knowledgeable and VERY personable. So props to him. I am definitely wishing great things for this place. It's a great place to start, grow and research your collection. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
