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

ick's picture

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
