I live in Dallas and this is my go-to stop for vinyl finds. Really glad you did a video review for them. Also if you are in area again check out a massive store called Forever Young in Grand Prairie
Subdivisions by Rush is my nominee for the cool song of the day, Drummer Neil Peart passed away recently, he was the primary songwriter of the band. Rush wasn’t just one of Canada’s biggest rock bands in the 1970’s and 80’s but was one of the influential progressive rock at that time and was a major inspiration for prog rock band that came later
I am in there at least every other week. I have found so much there. A few times I have literally spent all day there. I found an unopened original pressing of the soundtrack to The Empire Strikes Back for 50.00. I have even seen the Beatles Butcher album there. I have seen that place grow so much and love going there. I am so glad you got a chance to go there
Went there last week love the place because the Bills sign in the back gives amazing honor to Bill an important record store owner who recently passed away
Not gonna lie, Matt from Too Many Records deserves more subscribers because he puts TONS of effort into his videos and uploads at a minimum of 1 a day week.
this is actually crazy. I bought my turn table and speakers a week ago today there. they were super helpful, and got me started with about six vinyls along with my set up.
i have a dumb question. I bought a pair of klipsch r28pf s and a rega planar 1. Not sure how to hook them up and do i need a preamp? The rega only has one little plug under it smaller than an rca and the speakers have their own amp in them. thanks for all the info and i'm glad your back.
Josey Records is awesome. It's certainly the buzz lately, especially after they acquired Bill's (RIP. FTG, but RIP.) collection. However, a similarly massive store is Forever Young records in the south Midcities. It also has that vibe from actually dating back to the late twentieth century golden age.
I had the funniest experience today. So I was traversing around my local multimedia store (they were having 25% on records, so yay, picked up Nordland by Bathory and Liebe ist für alle da by Rammstein), and while browsing the records, a group of friends are coming over, excited as hell over seeing the record shelves. They also went bananas in the CD section, browsing and finding a lot of their favourite albums. Even one of them were like: "There's music on both sides? I only thought there was one song on that." It was so pure. And it reminded me of my first record store experience. I also got in talk with one of them, recommending them turntables and what to stay away from. It was such a nice event, seeing them light up by the physical formats.
I live in the Tulsa area and we have a Joseys as well, but nowhere near the size of the Dallas location. But the Joseys here is still fairly active with its used selection. I'll have to check out the Dallas location sometime. It does look pretty awesome.
There’s a small, hole in the wall type record store in Nevada called Vegas Vinyl. It’s a PHENOMENAL smaller record store. Picked up some Billy Joel, AC/DC, Beatles, Aerosmith, Elton John, Bob Seger, Led Zeppelin, and Queen, and all of them were 5-7 dollars in great condition. The owner also cleans your records before you buy them for free, and always offers his customers drinks! If you’re ever in the area, I’d highly recommend checking it out.
This is equivalent to Amoeba Records in Hollywood or SFO. I hope record stores eventually start returning again. I was here at Josey for the first time back in October, the day before the 12 tornadoes ravaged the D/FW area. Luckily, the twister that tore through North Dallas & Preston Hollow missed this store. One of the few times I didn't spend three-hundred dollars on a shopping spree looking for rarities or replacements because I was with two friends who come here all the time. I got a bunch of great CDs I needed in the $1 sidewalk boxes outside the store as well as a few goodies inside. Got out of there for $38, which is unheard of for me.
Aw man! I’ve heard of this place! Definitely want to visit one day. When I’m in DFW I usually go to forever young in Grand Prairie/Arlington. I’m about 5 hours west of the metroplex. With family moving there in the summer I’ll be making more trips that way. Welcome to Texas!!
Hey, Jarrett I just wanted to say thank you for all the videos you make and all the information you provide us with. I had been wanting to get into vinyl and sadly I got a Crosley 😬, but then I started watching your videos and I quickly learned a lot about vinyl and got way more interested in the hobby. And I’m happy to say that I’m officially a vinyl geek, and I sold my Crosley to get a real turntable that is high quality. And my dad gave me a amp and some speakers so now I have a really great setup. Sorry if this was long but I just wanted to say thank you for encouraging me to get into vinyl. And also I’ll be visiting “Friends of Sound” in a couple days so I’m really excited about that. And I know you already know this but...keep spinning that vinyl 😎
So cool seeing you review the very same listening station (that I secretly use to check prices on Discogs) I was sitting at about 3 weeks ago. Welcome to Texas. Josey Records is a great store, everyone should check it out.
I was just in California and checked out Amoeba. Waterloo in Austin is great, too. This place reminds me of Amoeba big time ... Gotta check it out. Thanks!
Here in Split, Croatia you don't have a huge selection of shops for vinyl. In fact there is pawn shop that sells used vinyl (it has no listening station), Croatia Records wich sells new vinyl (and gear every now and then). And on summer, when tourists flood the city, people come to the center of Split and sell used vinyl on stands. Thats all I know there may be more but you never know.
Used to live there and went to that record shop all the time, there’s actually a rehearsal space that I used on the other side of the highway which was dope.
They are expanding!! I think its by another 8,000 sqft. They acquired the store next to it. Also there is a Josey Records in Tulsa,Ok. Not as big but still pretty sweet.
On that store you'll be surprised at what you find there that you're looking for. I have come out of that store with two bags full of vinyl records. Basically spent about 3 hours in Josey records. Great record store
So sorry my friend, but Barnes & Noble does not have a coffee shop - they have a Starbucks which, in my opinion, is not really coffee, just high-priced cups of something.
Could you make a guide for playing 78s on a modern turntable (for example the at-120 (I bought the 120xusb from your recommendation!)) where you recommend cartridges and stuff. Have a nice day!
What an amazing looking store! I wish we had some like that here in the UK.... We do have the HMV chain of shops for new records/CD's/movies, etc, and where I am (East Anglia) there is a smaller local group of stores called Vinyl Hunter, and they are great, but the shops are very small so they can't carry the same ranges... but for used, and new records/CDs, they're very good. They also sell hardware, and host a number of live bands/DJs throughout the year too.. Otherwise, all you've got is local charity shops with the usual Rita Coolidge, Val Doonican, Harry Secombe, Jim Reeves, Abba, etc second-hand stuff that nobody wanted.....!! ;-)
Jarret, pleas do a video on good cartridge/styli for playing 7 inch 45's, I've been trying for five years and just can't find one that makes them sound good
Yo Im new to vinyl and just got an Audio Technica at-lp60x and need some speaker recommendations. I want good sound of course, but I’m not looking to break the bank either. Also, I guess I need a receiver too??
Should have gone to Bills records while you were in town. He ran a record store here in Dallas since the late 70's and was a local treasure for dfw music. Sadly, we lost bill recently, while he was at his post behind the counter of shop. Nice to see you hit up josey though. Those guys do the lord's work at shop with their wears.
I'd been debating buying vinyl for ages and i finally gave in. The first albun i picked was The Cure's Disintergration. I feel like certain albums don't feel right to listem to on cd or spotify and this is one of them. Along with the fact Mayhem has great vinyl collection and Bilmuri do limited vinyl while he releases everything only digital
Hey There! Just wanted to let you know that you have been such a help for me and setting up my new hobby that is vinyl! love what you do and you’re videos are so good. you helped my passion become reality so thank you so much man. i’m 16 and i’m so happy to own my own turntable and be old school! listening to Van Morrison’s Moondance album thanks to you helping me set up my turntable! Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
They now tore down the back wall and so there is a lot I mean a lot more room they have more 45s and now sell posters a lot of their poster are vintage which is great , and now they have way more vinyl. This shop is my favorite to go to I always find great vinyl in great condition inside and out . this shop is hands down my favorite, I highly recommend:)
The used prices are typically good. Most 45s are only $1 too. And there is a HUGE section of records $2 and under. Not perfect but you can find some that really play well. Josef in Dallas (Farmers Branch) and Docs in Fort Worth are my faves.
I live in Dallas and this is my go-to stop for vinyl finds. Really glad you did a video review for them. Also if you are in area again check out a massive store called Forever Young in Grand Prairie

Went there last week love the place because the Bills sign in the back gives amazing honor to Bill an important record store owner who recently passed away
5:55 “we’ve been spending most our lives, living in a crate diggers paradise”🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Song of the day:
Rappin’ for Jesus
I second this.
My crew is big and it keeps gettin bigga, thats because jesus christ is MAH NIGGUH.
That's awesome. Last time I was in Dallas, they didnt have all those books and other stuff. Will definitely head over next time I'm down there.
Andrew Santos yeah they really expanded the store. I remember before there were any books
This is the ONLY record store I go to. This is my favorite spot. Awesome that you stopped by there
Amazing place ! I wish I could go there someday
Song of the day: Sade - Smooth Operator
Not gonna lie, Matt from Too Many Records deserves more subscribers because he puts TONS of effort into his videos and uploads at a minimum of 1 a day week.
this is actually crazy. I bought my turn table and speakers a week ago today there. they were super helpful, and got me started with about six vinyls along with my set up.
Thank God for these videos, been missing the vinyl eyezz videos!
I live 45 minutes away from this!! I bought my first record there. It was “Beatles for Sale”.
Oh man... I would go to Texas just for this. Wow.
Great spot. I used to go there often on my way home from work in the evenings when I lived in Irving.
That Sade album is one of my favorites! It's being spun in my house weekly.
i have a dumb question. I bought a pair of klipsch r28pf s and a rega planar 1. Not sure how to hook them up and do i need a preamp? The rega only has one little plug under it smaller than an rca and the speakers have their own amp in them. thanks for all the info and i'm glad your back.
card hutt you need pre amp
@@gaz2g Thank you
I would recommend Denon pma 800ne ingrate amplifiers and it got build in amp it.
Great to have you back Jarrett!

I've just discovered vinyl and today my dad got his old turntable out for me and I already love it
Nice dude!
Ahh finally. My favourite TH-cam is uploading again!
Oh it's the heaven to all vinyl addicts!!! God I want to live there!!!!!!
Yes! Good to see you back!
One good thing about moving to Texas...finding this amazing store!
I live in the Tulsa area and we have a Joseys as well, but nowhere near the size of the Dallas location. But the Joseys here is still fairly active with its used selection. I'll have to check out the Dallas location sometime. It does look pretty awesome.
It would be great if you did more vinyl shopping trips!
Ayyyy Dallas Represent! I hope you had a fantastic time. There's some more great record stores in the area
We have one in Tulsa Oklahoma, and it is BY FAR the BEST record store EVER!!!

What a shop! Next time I visit my family in Texas I'll check it out
Thank you for picking Sade 🙆😄😻👍 you're the man after my heart 💖

Super cool! I got my first turntable 2 days ago, today imma get my active speakers!
My song of the day: The Spirit Of Radio - Rush.
I love Josey records! 😎🥳
Would’ve been cool to have been there when you went
I was just in California and checked out Amoeba. Waterloo in Austin is great, too. This place reminds me of Amoeba big time ... Gotta check it out. Thanks!
I got Bobby Darin dream lover at that store! And I’ve been there 3 times! Good prices on 45s & 78 records!!!!!
Might get over to Dallas one day, what else you guys got out there,,?
Song of the day: Down in a hole- alice in chains
I like the part when the chorus ended with "I wanna be inside...Down in a hole". It gives me goose bumps everytime I listen to it!
Here in Split, Croatia you don't have a huge selection of shops for vinyl.

Hi Jarrett welcome back to TH-cam I guess and Happy late newyear! Hoping to recive awesome videos from you in 2020!🤟
Used to live there and went to that record shop all the time, there’s actually a rehearsal space that I used on the other side of the highway which was dope.
They are expanding!! I think its by another 8,000 sqft. They acquired the store next to it. Also there is a Josey Records in Tulsa,Ok. Not as big but still pretty sweet.
Song of the day: Ballroom Blitz - Sweet
Welcome Back! Great video. Thumbs up! Trish
On that store you'll be surprised at what you find there that you're looking for. I have come out of that store with two bags full of vinyl records. Basically spent about 3 hours in Josey records. Great record store
So sorry my friend, but Barnes & Noble does not have a coffee shop - they have a Starbucks which, in my opinion, is not really coffee, just high-priced cups of something.
I was just there the other day. Did you get the chance to see the Black Pumas?
Hello from Dallas!
Welcome back missed your posts and voice.
Sugar Man -- (Sixto) Rodriguez: song of the day.
Could you make a guide for playing 78s on a modern turntable (for example the at-120 (I bought the 120xusb from your recommendation!)) where you recommend cartridges and stuff. Have a nice day!
Hi Jarrett, I was lookin at some vinyl and I saw one that said (7"/10"/12" extended play, 33/45 rpm) what does this mean?
What an amazing looking store! I wish we had some like that here in the UK....
We do have the HMV chain of shops for new records/CD's/movies, etc, and where I am (East Anglia) there is a smaller local group of stores called Vinyl Hunter, and they are great, but the shops are very small so they can't carry the same ranges... but for used, and new records/CDs, they're very good.

Otherwise, all you've got is local charity shops with the usual Rita Coolidge, Val Doonican, Harry Secombe, Jim Reeves, Abba, etc second-hand stuff that nobody wanted.....!! ;-)
Wow! Luckily here in Concord we have a few record stores near me and a handful in Charlotte
Jarret, pleas do a video on good cartridge/styli for playing 7 inch 45's, I've been trying for five years and just can't find one that makes them sound good
An hour away from Dallas!!!!! I WISHED I WAS THERE.
Wow! Wish I had something like this where I live 😮🤘👍
Thats my go to record store! I miss it!
Hey Jarrett. Beginner vinyl collector here. I just had one question, does vinyl degrade like VHS, or does it maintain it's quality like a DVD.
*gasp* He's alive!!!
Jk, Good to see ya again.
Looks like an awesome store!! 😀
Yo Im new to vinyl and just got an Audio Technica at-lp60x and need some speaker recommendations. I want good sound of course, but I’m not looking to break the bank either. Also, I guess I need a receiver too??
heeeeeeeey. love josey! Reminds me of some of the Ameoba locations in CA - esp San Fran.
Should have gone to Bills records while you were in town. He ran a record store here in Dallas since the late 70's and was a local treasure for dfw music. Sadly, we lost bill recently, while he was at his post behind the counter of shop. Nice to see you hit up josey though. Those guys do the lord's work at shop with their wears.

Welcome to Dallas! I need to get out Josey sometime.
Vinyl eyes is back
They now tore down the back wall and so there is a lot I mean a lot more room they have more 45s and now sell posters a lot of their poster are vintage which is great , and now they have way more vinyl. This shop is my favorite to go to I always find great vinyl in great condition inside and out . this shop is hands down my favorite, I highly recommend:)
I want to go to a record store like this so badly. The one closest to me is FYE but they suck in comparison to a store fully dedicated for records
Do they have 12" maxi-singles?
I’m from Dallas! I’ve gotta go here sometime!
Did they have cassettes
That’s my shop I’ve built most of my collection from Josey, been going since it opened
I always have wished to go to Josey Records :(
But the 2 records stores I really recommend is Forever Young Records and Docs Records and Vintage :)
The used prices are typically good. Most 45s are only $1 too. And there is a HUGE section of records $2 and under. Not perfect but you can find some that really play well. Josef in Dallas (Farmers Branch) and Docs in Fort Worth are my faves.
Do they have rap vinyls?
That’s my store! :,) love it there!
If you're still in Dallas you should check out Forever Young Records in Grand Prairie. Tons of awesome goodies in there.
NO WAY! I was there yesterday! I got some Joy Division. I live in Irving!
That is a very big record store!!
Whoa!!!! My wife would end up filing a missing person report if I went there. Awesome.
Can you find any of the best record stores in Houston? cuz thrift store's record selections suck,and the bookstore's selection of records also suck.
Welcome back!
Wild cherry - play that funky music
Under The Graveyard - Ozzy Osbourne.
If your in grand prairie area, check out Forever Young Records.
I have did Waterloo records in Austin tx very cool store
