Books are priced at half the book's original price, unless there is a blue sticker on the back reflecting an updated price. The employees are always super helpful as well :) I always make sure to bring my friends whenever we're in the area!! If you are looking for a specific book, it might take a little bit of searching. However this is the perfect spot to come in and just browse the selection in hopes of a good deal :) it's impressive how much they carry in their space.

I wandered around the whole place and every nook and cranny is filled thats for sure. I get the feeling that they dont have an electronic catalog of what they have but i didnt ask. It seemed like there were a lot of older used books, i didnt see many newer items. I'll definitely come back and see if i can find things that interest me. Im happy to support local businesses. I didn't pick any books up so I'm not sure of pricing.

Hello Dolly! Howdy Dali!…read more This place is a cool offshoot of the Dolly Python on the other side of town. It's a much smaller than the original one on Haskell, but they still have some of the best vintage clothing, antique housewares, and fun stuff that you never knew that you needed until you saw it. It's smaller and easier to navigate than the original shop, but one of the best shops in the Bishop Arts District. They've got a bunch of the weirdest stuff you've ever seen. They have stacks of vintage records, jewelry, and strange boots. The staff was real friendly when I went, but were cursing the air conditioning, which they'd been tasked with changing the air filters. They didn't like that. Parking is easy, with a bunch of spots up and down Bishop.

I'm a comic head, so comics are what I come for exclusively (though they have plenty of records, and other things). Really appreciate that they have smaller imprints like Image, Vault, and Boom along with a tiny section of indie publishers. Cute shop, and always a personable staff member up front. Four stars for me just because they don't have a larger comic selection. I'd probably give 5 stars if I was a music head, for those who are the store name reflects the extensive vinyl collection here.

They were a bit more expensive than the other location and I didn't leave with what I was looking for but it was a wonderful experience. Will come again!

Nearing the end of a brief visit to Dallas recently--from Saturday afternoon to early Sunday…read moreafternoon--I decided to check out Josey Records in Dallas. To me, as someone who fits into the record collector/record dealer/cratedigger and DJ categories, visiting a record store I've never been to before is always an exciting or intriguing adventure. Josey has a reputation for being a good spot to buy records, so I am glad I finally went here to see what's up. Just looking around the store initially, I could see there are several areas in which the store could be improved or made more interesting. My first observation re: genre sections is that the signage for aisles could be more prominent. All of it is placed rather low, but at great record stores, you're never left guessing where everything is. You just find the music you're looking for more easily. With the massive volume of music releases in the store, I would like to see better curation of what's in stock. For example there were lots of Brian Eno releases, but not the ones I'd be interested in. For Parliament Funkadelic, there were just 2 Parliament 45s, but no Funkadelic and no George Clinton 45s. I thought that was weird. I was also looking for a famous jazz guitarist who's listed on the website, but the guy working the counter didn't even know who he was. Overall, I think the selection is decent if you are willing to spend time just looking through various sections, but there's no help on the floor--so you're just basically on your own. It kind of reminded me of shopping for records in a warehouse, but the warehouse I usually go to has much better curation. I should also state I tend to like smaller stores which get the mix of old and new releases more right or perhaps even focus on a certain niche. On a different note, in addition to music, there are lots of other cool things at Josey: a stage for performances, books, posters, tshirts and other ephemera. So, it is easy for music nerds to get lost here. Also, the parking situation is really good here, and I thought the service was good--the guys here are friendly, and one of them did go back into the aisles to look for something. Overall, I would rate this store a 4/5.

Forever Young is as massive as you've seen (or hey, if you haven't seen photos, it's a huge store!)…read moreFor this reason alone, you're bound to walk out of the store happy, with at least a few records. When you walk in, you'll get that feeling of 'where do I start?' Don't worry, it will be ok. I took my first left, skipped the RSD section (pretty big, FYI) and went to the Xmas section. It too was also big, and where it was after the holiday, I thought maybe I might be able to find some cool titles. I walked away with one record I had been looking for and another I didn't know I was looking for but surely needed. After that, I continued onto a 90s/2000s section that, from what I could tell, was a mix of multiple mainstream genres like rock, pop, hip/hop, r&b, etc. Again, we're talking about a lot of records so I made the strategic choice to only look for items on my want list. I did this for the subsequent sections (a 80s/70s combo and 60s/50s combo) and still spent most of my 2 hours in the store in this manner. It was after going through these sections that I looked to the ground with more attention, where I suspected other genres laid their claim. I ended up finding way too many records to choose from for my partner, and some other sections that again were so big that I wasn't even prepared to dive in and dig. When I was finally ready to checkout, my sister (who was also shopping with me) mentioned she had got a punch card, which gives you some money off as you spend a certain amount on used records. She offered hers up to me for my purchase. I didn't pay much attention to the exact parameters, but I got $40 off which was much appreciated (especially considering pricing, which I will get to at the end.) As I was checking out, I noticed the collector's room and took a look at that before I left the store. While there was some interesting stuff in there, none of it was anything I was really looking for (especially not at the higher range.) Back on pricing, I did have a little bit of a shock when I saw that basically every record I picked up was $30 or $35. That's definitely what I'm used to paying back home for new records but not so much for regular used vinyl. This wasn't completely surprising, as I had bought some stuff from them online before, and was certainly softened by the discounts I got at the register but something to keep in mind before you go. Also, I think the pricing is also a function of the store being a bit of one-stop shop with its size. Finally, there is stuff other than vinyl (in fact, A LOT of CDs, as well as tapes, 8-track, etc.) but I wasn't looking for any of that so I didn't shop it. However, if you're into multiple media formats it should be all the more appealing. Happy record shopping!
