Places to buy music Kansas City (Missouri / Kansas) and Lawrence, KS

It seems that the number of music stores in KC is dwindling as digital music purchases continue to grow. I am an avid music collector and wanted to create a list of local stores that still sell vinyl (LPs), CDs, etc. I tried to leave chain stores off the list...



Kansas City / Overland Park
  • Vinyl Renaissance (Nieman Rd. and Shawnee Mission Pkwy) - CDs new and used, vinyl new and used. Highly recommended http://www.vinyl-renaissance.com/
  • Earwaxx Records (64th N. Oak Tfwy) - new and used CDs, new and used vinyl, recently expanded. Owner Gary is very knowledgable and will cut you a good deal.
  • Zebedee's Records (39th St. and Roanoke) - used CDs and vinyl Zebedee's
  • Streetside Records (Westport and Broadway) - CDs new and used, new vinyl
  • It's a Beautiful Day (40th and Broadway) - A fairly large selection of used and new vinyl, CD, and cassettes in a hippie setting.
  • 1/2 Priced Books (SW Tfwy and Westport Rd., 119th St. Olathe, 89th and Metcalf, Lawrence) - Used CDs, vinyl, and cassettes
  • Prospero's Books (39th St. and Bell) - They sell used CDs and vinyl in the basement
  • Halcyon Diversified Trading (47th and Mission Road) - They sell posters, music equipment, and vinyl as well as old toys, clothes, and anything kitsch
  • Vintage Stock (Liberty, Independence, Blue Spings, Lee's Summit, Overland Park 135th St., Overland Park 92nd St., Shawnee) - new and used CDs
  • 180 Records (39th St. and Broadway) - DJ records. not sure if still operational
  • CD Warehouse (58th and Antioch in Northland, 64th and Quivira Shawnee Mission, I believe Lee's Summit and Blue Springs as well) - used CDs
  • CD Tradepost (1094 West Santa Fe Olathe, KS) - Used Cds.
  • The Flipside (11212 W. 75th St. in Shawnee, KS) - Posters and a small selection of used CDs.
  • 7th Heaven (76th and Troost, Blue Springs, Lawrence) - new CDs. I'm not really sure what they carry here anymore.
