Description: Back in 1938 Max Silverman opened a record store at 1836 7th Street in Washington, D.C. under the name Waxie Maxie Quality Music Co. Silverman's store was an instant hit as he stocked it with all the latest recordings as well as those from up-and-coming musicians, including many black artists, something that was still not very common at the time. Silverman began holding jam sessions and live radio broadcasts in the storefront's window, a spot that attracted teens and young adults to the store and became known as the Maxie's goldfish bowl. Silverman would eventually change the store's name to Waxie Maxie's and open over 30 locations throughout the Washington Metropolitan area.
Description: Bop Street Records first opened on Seattle's Aurora Avenue in 1979, later moved to Ballard Ave in 1984, and moved again in 2010, though just a few blocks away to Market Street. The store was a favorite with collectors who loved finding rare gems among Bop Street's extensive 500,000 recordings, but was also just a great place to stop in to buy records. Bop Street's prestige extended well beyond Seattle’s borders, being named as one of the best five record stores in the country, though sadly, global events of 2020 forced the store to close several years ahead of the owner's intended retirement.
Description: The Crow’s Nest was a free-standing record store that operated in Crest Hill, Illinois, about 38 miles southwest of Chicago. From the store's first day to it's last, sometime in the 2000s, this place was a magical wonderland for music lovers of all ages. Named after the store's own, Floyd Crow, the shop had the kind of community vibe all record stores aspire to, but few manage to achieve. From midnight record release parties to artist meet and greets, Crow’s Nest Records & Tapes created a lasting legacy that many still remember fondly today.
Description: Wayne and Ron’s Record Shop opened July 15, 1971 at 3009 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wayne, aka 'Honey Bear,' lived in an apartment at the back of the store and slept on a custom-made round 'record' water bed, or at least that is what overnight guests choosing not to be named have said. Weird waterbeds aside, Wayne and Ron’s was known for having a killer selection of records and ran huge discounts on every band that came to town, making them a popular spot for decades to come.
Description: Seattle's Cellophane Square in the University District was a haven for band t-shirts, records and tapes, all kinds of underground merchandise and was where you'd buy tickets to punk shows. They opened in the 70s and made it all the way until 2009 before succumbing to the 'digital revolution' that took out out a lot of cool things, including many record stores.
Description: Everyone had a favorite record store growing up and if you were in the greater Columbus area in Ohio, that store was without a doubt Buzzard's Nest Records. They weren't just a great record store that stocked all kinds of music, but an early example of going well beyond music with a large selection of posters, stickers, patches, shirts, and a little bit of everything a teen might need to trick out their room.
Description: Record Store Day is a semi-annual event established in 2008 to "celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store". Held on one Saturday (typically the third) every April and every Black Friday in November, the day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world.[2] A number of records are pressed specifically for Record Store Day, with a list of releases for each country, and are only distributed to shops participating in the event.
