re: It’s Record Store Day, what are some of your favorite memories at your local record store?

Record Rack - Houston, TX


Originally opening as the Jive Hive in 1945, the Record Rack (which was located on South Shepherd adjacent to the Alabama Theater, now a smoke shop) was synonymous with Numbers. Bruce Godwin bought the store in the early ‘80s and transformed the shop into a destination for alternative music and pretty much anything else you could think of. All of the cutting edge music and rare imports that Numbers played through the ‘80s and ‘90s got funneled through the Record Rack first, not too mention a great place to hangout and meet a lot of the bands that played at Numbers.
