Forever Young Records

This isn't located in Dallas proper, but since every good city needs a good record store, I need a good record store to think well of my city. I think probably the standard store I compare all others to is San Francisco's Amoeba Music, which bills itself as "The World's Largest Independently Owned Record Store." I took out the exclamation point; if you feel a statement like that needs one, feel free to put it back.

I won't try to make a side-by-side comparison, but Forever Young seems nearly as large and carries music in a variety of mediums including 8-tracks, cassettes, vinyl and CDs. There seems to be a wide selection of jazz and easy listening to suite my tastes, but there didn't seem to be any classical. Upon asking we were directed to a special stach behind a door and while small, the selection was well-culled. 

I came home with three vinyl records and one cd. One of the vinyl records was brand-new, which at $35 may make it worth every penny given the crackling in one of the 1960s-era discs I am currently playing. It's also interesting to note the new disc is quite thick and of higher quality than the records from the 1970s and early 1980s. 

Forever Young also has a selection of turntables and memorabilia and carries turntable needles. Unfortunately it doesn't appear you can get there using public transit.
