From BLK Vinyl

Come hang out to buy, sell or trade and talk about records. We specialize in used and collectible records, with a heavy concentration on 60's and 70's pop, psych, garage, prog, etc. Other strong areas of interest include 50's and 60's jazz, lounge and exotica, 60's soul and as many records we can gather from the dismal vinyl production era of the mid to late 90's and early 2000’s. We also feature a lovingly curated "local" section showcasing phenomenal Austin artists. Live music is also important - we often host musicians from Austin and abroad for intimate in-store performances. Co-owner Keith Lough offers guitar lessons for all skill levels in our second floor studio.
