    Music Magazines

    Walked into Shangri-La and was immediately transported back in time as a live recording of Ike and Tina Turner was pumping through the speakers. The shop is fully stocked with new and used records in various genres - Jazz, Rock, R&B, etc.. There is also a back room that has new and used/decade old music magazines. I had a great time browsing through records and listening. I had visited this shop some years ago when I was last in Memphis and it was nice to stop through again. My current focus is more DJ and Electronica based which is lacking in this shop but I was able to find a cool old Stop Smiling magazine with Miles Davis on the cover.

    The staff are wonderful, friendly and very knowledgeable about the type of music I was searching for! Great selection of rock, blues, soul, punk and metal. Great prices, clean records VG grade prices are perfect!!

    My favorite store in Memphis for used vinyl (with a smaller selection of used cds). A wonderful selection of rock, soul, and r&b, with prices much better than in my current hometown, St Louis. Other genres are also available, but I had limited time to browse on my first visit. Great selection of Stax records! Good organization, but sometimes overwhelming volume of product. Finally, kudos to the friendly, knowledgable staff. I expect that I will make a beeline for this shop every time I'm in Memphis!

    Shangri-La is by far and away one of the best record stores I have had the pleasure of stepping foot into. I cannot get over how huge the selection is! This place is 3 rooms full of vinyl, cds, LPs, books and posters. They also have a pretty large selection of music magazines- old of course. The staff here was tremendously helpful as well. They went out of their way to help me locate some local Memphis music I might like based on some other favorite bands of mine. Speaking of local music- Shangri-La takes the cake. They have a such a huge selection to choose from. As if that isn't enough, they have free in-store live shows on most Fridays featuring local bands trying to earn their mark in music history. They get major kudos for that. Not only is it great for the bands, but it allows me to hear some great local artists.

    What a cool, retro music store. It's fun just walking in here. The staff was great. My reason for visiting was to sell some vinyl records and they purchased most of them. While I was there I looked around and loved the Memphis music section. There was a great variety. They also sell CDs and amps and the staff is great.

    Wow!

This is the experience I want when I dig through the racks - I'd rather this than finding THE record I want at full price plus or a bunch of might-be-goods made unattractive by pricing that's too high. While the selection here is decent, and there were records that grabbed my eye, there's also a lot of stuff that's readily available at any thrift store across the country, that should/would be in a dollar bin at most record stores. However, selection really isn't the issue. The problem is the fact that more than half of the records aren't priced and you have to bring them up to the counter for the employee to, if I had to guess, price via discogs listings. I suppose since you've shown interest in the records by bringing them up to the counter, they feel like they don't have to be competitive with their quotes - they definitely aren't beating online prices, not even with the cost of shipping excluded. Needless to say, this is an utter buzzkill; what a horrible tease it is to have something pique your interest, excitement and anticipation gathering as you walk to the counter and wait for a price, only to be told a number that you're not willing to pay, that instantly kills your joy, that you could have found without leaving your home and wasting the time and the gas. Seriously, stay at home, you'll get better deals on a better selection on discogs and/or ebay.

Emailed and got a response that it was picked up that day and they claimed that USPS sometimes does not scan label until the day it is delivered.

I never heard back, so I wrote to them in early February. I received a very terse and dismissive response. I chalked that up to COVID which I know has created havoc, as I acknowledged in my emails and VM messages. After waiting a while, I've tried to contact them (very politely) again here in March but have received no reply. I'm concerned that this once great little company is accepting online orders but is out of business, buyer beware. I hope they are all well, you never know these days though... Their customer response line offers to let you leave a message, but then returns to the original answering intro. The call intro says to call back during normal hours, even mid-day M-F. The online site mentions problems with the USPS for the past 2 1/2 months. 3/16/21 update - Sleeve City did contact me today regarding the delays. Upgrading my review today, will continue to upgrade if the order does eventually arrive.
