New Austin Record Store - Backspin Records

Backspin Records!

I’ll say it again. BACKSPIN RECORDS!

Backspin Records at 5247 Burnet Road [at North Loop]—nestled between the longstanding Asian variety store, Say Hi, and the Mi Victoria Bakery—is Austin’s newest independent record store offering up great new and used vinyl. Here is Backspin Records in their own words:

“We carry an amazing selection of affordably priced used and new vinyl in these genres: Hip-Hop (Old School, Golden Era, Current, Indie, Underground, and Commerial Rap) Dance (Old School Tecno, Electro, Freestyle, Disco, Italo Disco, House), Jazz, Funk, Jazz-Funk, Soul, R&B, Blues, Rock (Classic, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, Alt, Punk, New Wave, Industrial, and New Indie Releases), Soundtracks, Lounge, Exotica, Comedy, Spoken Word, and Country/Western. In general, if it is a type of music that has a beat to it, we carry it.”

I’ve been there, and, yes, they do have an amazing selection of quality vinyl at fair prices. They also have a small but excellent selection of used CDs.

Backspin records is co-owned and operated by my friend of many years, Zach, and his business partner, Eric—two work-a-day Joe’s who happened to both be vinyl junkies and, through a series of fortunate and/or unfortunate events, found themselves looking for another way to make a living. And they chose to open a record store in Austin? Are they crazy? Yes, they must be nuts! That’s what I thought, initially. That is, until I got a glimpse of the fruits of their labor. Backspin has arguably the best selection of used records in town when you factor in selection, condition, and price. Without question, they have the best listening stations in town with quality turntables and headphones: they’re not messing around with the craptastic plastic ‘tables and dollar store headphones you see at most shops. These guys care about the quality of the product and the pleasure of the vinyl-buying experience. What you’ll get at most other used vinyl places is dirty fingertips, a runny nose, and not much else.



Backspin opened last Thursday during SXSW. Among their first customers were DJ Madlib, J-Rocc [of the World Famous Beat Junkies], and the bass player from L.A.’s The Mojo Filters. And me. Last Sunday, Backspin hosted an energetic in-store performance and CD-release for the fledgling NGOK hip-hop crew, Public Offenders and Da 2-3 Mic Breakaz.



Hopefully, this is just the first of many great in-store events that will go down at Backspin Records.

So if you happen to stumble upon this ‘blog and you also happen to be in the Austin area, I recommend you check out Backspin Records. Be prepared to spend money. They’ve got the goods.

BTW - You can also visit Backspin Records on the web at http://backspinrecords.net/.

Just checked it out a few days ago. There was a great selection and the people working there (not sure if they were the owners) were very helpful and knowledgeable.

To be a good charitable being is to be enduring a philanthropic of openness to the far-out, an gift to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can front you to be shattered in uncommonly exceptional circumstances on which you were not to blame.
