I had a large collection of 60's, 70's, vinyl records, Rock, R&B, and other genres, many great memories for me. Most were purchased in California in the 60's. I called to see if they were interested in purchasing. Dropped them off on a weekend, received a call a few days later with an offer I was pleased with. The money was not my first interest; it was the desire that they would be appreciated and in the hands of true music lovers. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The whole transaction left me feeling good.

After being on a hunt for 40 days and 20 nights. I decided to stop in here…read more In search for my sweet love of mine. The one the only.. It was decades later since 2 of my Ultra 2008 cd made of their minds up to crack into 3's on me. The pain & agony of watching them as the lay damaged, unfixable, and unplayable. My Ultra 2008 & Ultra Trance 2008. Two completely different cds & songs though with similar names. But both brought in 2008 at Walmart. The summer of 69' is when we used to watch the sunset fall and the shores of tides wash in. A peaceful ambient. I glared into the souls of both wreckless cd's. Thinking where and how will I ever be able to find these cds..? Time passes by, weeks turn into hard cold months. From cd shoppe to record store no sign. Lost without a trace, until one day a postage stamped Soundwaves came in the mail. Out of distress and wearyness. I jumped up and took a long drive. Upon arrival, Soundwaves sits in a blacked alley. The one and only street light flickers. As I approach the lonely building on the corner of here and there. I enter into the locked fixation of nebula stargaze. Every pattern and spiral, space besides me. Bright colors, blurred sounds, the distorted faces. Goblin Wang. A distance memory of what I didn't know to what I know now. The trance cds sit and wait. The cold case reopens and the case is closed. All the cds I was ever looking for were zapped into my euphoric state of mind. The anguished price blew me away like an atomic bomb my long lost pain turned into more pain when I knew I couldn't get the cds. Leaves turned brown & the hollow rot disappeared into unknown.

Probably the best spot inside the loop for any and all your vinyl needs…read more The shop smells of incense and nostalgia, the kind that transports you back to a friend's bedroom or a mall food court, dreaming of a future without a care in the world. Sig's selection is wide and they have crate after crate filled with alphabetically arranged records from all musical genres. The upstairs is a cool, attic-style loft dedicated to true oldies. I didn't spot an elevator, so fair warning to those with vintage knees like myself. There's street parking and you can pull up right in front of the shop. The records at Sig's aren't cheap, but you aren't just buying music, you're buying into Houston's storied sound.

There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.
