Record Store Pillows
Description: Tofu Records was a US record label of Sony Music Entertainment Japan that was launched in 2003 to distribute Japanese Sony artists in the United States, and that closed in 2007. Their first signed artist was T.M.Revolution, and they used the anime fandom community to spread the word. T.M.Revolution's U.S. concert debut at Otakon 2003 was successful, drawing an audience of over 5,000. In March 2007, Tofu Records closed. Releases on Sony Music Japan now appear on Columbia or Epic Records through a new deal.
Description: Roto Records was a record label based in Lincoln, Nebraska. The name "Roto" was chosen simply because "it goes round and round." The label's first releases were in 1956 by local artists Bobby Lowell and The Rock-a-Boogie Boys. The label continued releasing recordings by Lowell and other local artists through the mid-1980s.
Description: Turtle's Records and Tapes was an Atlanta based southern US record store chain that specialized in cassettes, vinyl, and concert tickets and later it rented movies in VHS format. Great gift for crate diggers, vinyl record lovers, old school hip hoppers, turntable spinners and vintage music lovers. License plates promoting Atlanta's WKLS 96 Rock were sold here exclusively, and concert tickets were sold here.

Featuring bold worn typography, circular record textures, and a darkly funny music-nerd mood, this design is made for people who still believe the best places smell like old sleeves, black vinyl, and questionable life choices. Perfect for vinyl collectors, record store regulars, DJs, audiophiles, punk souls, indie music fans, and anyone born to browse forever.
Description: Strawberries had the largest selection of music available. You could always get the latest records & tapes, as well as other rarities. Before the internet, you could also buy tickets for upcoming concerts. Unfortunately, the popularity of buying online grew and Strawberries would soon fade. Locations included Texas, Maryland, New England and Mid-Atlantic states.
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.
Description: Boasting an eclectic inventory that stretched well into the hundreds of thousands, Car City Records earned a reputation as one of the Detroit Metro area’s premier used record stores. Founded in 1984 by longtime vinyl enthusiast Bob Setlik—who began dealing jazz records in the mid-1970s—the shop became legendary among collectors for its deep selection of jazz, rock, blues, and classical LPs. Car City embraced an independent spirit and never tried to chase the trends or compete with chain stores pushing the latest chart hits. Instead, it focused on what it did best: offering crate diggers and music obsessives a true vinyl-hunter’s paradise packed with rare finds, forgotten gems, and shelves upon shelves of used records.
