Horizon Records

GREAT record store with an excellent selection of VINYL. I saw a TV ad (imagine that!) for another local record store which reminded me to hunt down some vinyl whilst in Greenville. My first thought was of course "do not go to the one you saw on TV, Dexter." So I walked down this Greenville ave till I saw some likely knucklehead with a beard and said "yo dude where's a good vinyl record store in town" and the dude says "yeah go straight to 2 West Stone Ave bro" and there i was and lo and behold a REAL DEAL record store with a REAL DEAL dude named Gene at the helm, so I walked out with like a benjamin worth of cool records to take back to L.A.. I get in the car having scored this kickazz Dennis Coffey record and I put on my best internet radio station outta Paris, France called Soulful Bits, rokin dat thru my Android shizzle and unbelievably the SAME RARE DENNIS COFFEY RECORD is playin' on the station at that very frikin moment... Now that MEANS SOMETHING. Yeah thas it... End of story. Don't front.

Hey whatsup?

Horizon is da kewlest! Both my bigs can get all their music here, and pretendl like they are still young and hip. Biggish Big can get his opera and Judy Garland, and Dr. Meesie can dig through the trash and treasures bin for early 90s jammy jamz. Plus they can get hillbilly music for my sister.

Thank you I know.

What a great funky old-school records store!

We always like to visit when we're in town because they not only sell vinyl, DVDs and CDs, but they buy as well. Plus, it's easy to wander in from the attached restaurant (The Bohemian deserves its own review).

The selection is small, but pretty varied and better organized than most old-school records stores. It's like they actually want you to find what you're looking for here! African rhythm, Happy Hardcore, good old Rock'n'Roll - they got it.

They even have a 'classical' room with sound-proof windows so opera fans / brahms fans can have their own space to chill. Too bad most of the recordings in the classical room are older or more 'standard'. They really should think about beefing up that area with some new releases if they're going to devote a whole room to it.
