    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.

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.

Ive been trying to get him to take a break and go to Batcave for some good music therapy and we were impressed by the owner's knowledge of the music in his shop as random a all the crates are. Super friendly and doesn't hover. We were the only ones in the shop at the time and he didn't distract by asking hundreds of questions, he just let us explore and answered questions as we had them. Highly recommend for good 'ole fashion treasure hunt. Owner provides business cards and invites you to call if you're looking for something specific--will even take requests to call you if he receives something you're looking for.

    We visited this shop yesterday while exploring the north side of town for vintage spots, and I was…read morereally excited because it was my husband's birthday. The location in Artisan Alley is super cute, and from the outside the store looked promising. I was specifically hoping to find a meaningful vinyl for him. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When we opened the door, there were records spread all over the floor and a person sitting on the ground sorting through them, making it difficult to even step inside the very small space. Between the uneven flooring and the clutter, it felt chaotic and uncomfortable to navigate. There was only one other couple inside, and honestly it already felt overcrowded. I understand small vintage shops can be eclectic, but this didn't feel organized at all. I even had to ask who the owner was because we were looking for something specific, and while he may have been busy dealing with a recent record purchase, he seemed distracted and not particularly interested in helping customers. I really wanted to love this place because it has charm and potential, but the overall experience felt stressful instead of enjoyable.

Hope that you guys keep And give her a raise. She is a great worker. Keep up the good work. Great place to buy DVD's and Blu-rays. Great selection! I love the set-up and atmosphere. Even just browsing around is fun! Staff is very nice and helpful. As we know, streaming is very limited on options for films to watch, movies stay available only for a limited amount of time, and of course visual screen images and sound quality on blu-ray and 4k discs are a whole lot better than on streaming platforms. Plus, it's just fun to have your own physical library! Let's do our part to keep these great stores going strong! I love this place with all my heart. I've been coming here since I was 11 years old. So much nostalgia. so many great music selections; from early 2000s post hardcore to 1950s slow jazz. Love this place. It's great for those of us that are a little old school. Everyone is friendly and they always seem to have what I'm looking for! I'm so glad to see this place up and running. I'm truly grateful for CD Exchange and For some reason, maps never showed this location, but after stumbling across it the other day, I will enthusiastically be coming here again! Very clean store, friendly & knowledgeable staff, huge variety of music & movies! I also have to point out that I LOVE that the Blu Ray horror has its own section. As a horror fiend, I want to be able to see my options, instead of having to sift through unrelated titles. Another location has it mixed in with al Blu Rays on one giant wall, & that's just too much to deal with. Smaller store, but has so much to offer! Been going to CD exchange since I was a kid. I used to ride my bike to CD Exchange with my friends to get CDs. They are more geared toward DVDs now. Lots of complete TV shows and lots of blue ray at good prices. If you want to polish your movie collection this is a good place to do it. Love this place. Always get great recommendations here!

Ever since COVID, it seems like it has tried to become a Texas thrift trying to promote clothes, but did not do it successfully. Their prices and value are also not quite up to par. Compared to similar thrift stores in the area. My biggest issue today? Customer service was absolutely unacceptable. I feel like they were uncomfortable because of all the pictures I was taking? The two ladies in front kept staring and whispering to each other and looking back at me. I decided to give them the benefits of the doubt- they must have better things to talk about? I had nothing with me but my mobile, so why were they following me around? I looked through the clothes for about twenty minutes, then went over to the shoes, then back to the clothes. Then I went over to request getting into the fitting rooms, which were locked. One lady from the front came over as I stood there. "Something wrong?" Was the first thing she said to me. Taken aback, I replied, no, I was trying to get into a fitting room, please? I showed her my three garments. "Were you putting clothes back?" "What?" "My associates said you were putting clothes back." I looked at her blankly. "They said you took some and were putting them back in the shoes section." "I apologize, ma'am, I do not know what you are talking about," I answered in the most polite voice, even though I was getting increasingly frustrated. "They saw you. Take clothes and put them by the shoes." At this point, I was ready to leave. If this was how they were treating customers, I was not about to beg to be let into the fitting room, let alone give them my business. "I do not know what you are talking about, How about we go to the shoes and you can show me? I did not put anything there, only the clothes I have in my hands." "No. They took them away", she replies. Silence. "I am going to have you ask you to leave," she says. I don't even care anymore. Frankly, I am not sure whether I am more puzzled by how this confusion has taken place or more shocked that they have the audacity to treat a customer like this with no grounds. She did not even try to communicate with me with kindness. She was accusatory, told me to leave, and that was that. I left. Never plan to return. Good riddance. Highly not recommended. Zero stars!
