I love music and have excellent collections in every genre of music and every technology. That being said, and taking into consideration that these two locations are the only independent record stores with any semblance of variety, they are just OK. The store on Flamingo is better than the one on W. Sahara due in large part to the Asst. Mgr. who is smarmy and begging for a serious beat down not only due to his smart mouth but coupled with his Charlie Manson circa 1969 persona, costume and lack of personal hygiene.
I spend a ton of money there and yet they treat me as if they are doing me a huge favor selling me overpriced CD's, vinyl and video games. I recently picked up an Amy Winehouse CD but it was the jazz version which I inquired about before my purchase. I wanted the version that won all the Grammys. Mock Charlie Manson denied to speak to me and told me that was the one I wanted.
Lo and behold I get to the car, pop in the CD and it's NOT the version I wanted. Less than 2 minutes later, LITERALLY, I walk back in to exchange it for the correct format and Mock Manson tells me I can't get the full sales price because the CD is USED!! Naturally, I was livid and insisted on a full refund and forced him to call the owner at home and suggested he be fired. I got a full refund but he dicked me around and put it on my ZIA CARD NOT MY CREDIT CARD! Mock Manson still works there with bad attitude and bad hygiene!
Better selection of vinyl @ GoodWill and Salvation Army. Better employees @ Whole Foods. Cactus in Houston beats the hell out of this store owned and operated by posers!
Don't waste your time or money unless you're yearning to be treated shitty.
