Editorial Review for Alamo Records & Sheet Music – by Lise Harwin
Vintage Vinyl
While Echoes From the Past may be known for their extensive specialty collections, they also have a lot of, to put it simply, other stuff. Perhaps the most notable (or rather, "note"able) part of Echoes is its basement, which contains Alamo Records and Sheet Music, the place to find over 90,000 78s, 45s and LPs. It's the largest stock of vinyl in South Texas and though it's physically hard to navigate, the boxes are clearly marked and well-organized. Prices are high, but options are many.
Childhood Collectibles
Though it's odd to think that a Stormtrooper PEZ dispenser is worth anything, at Echoes, it'll be five bucks. Plastic and metal lunchboxes featuring classic television shows are available and a Steve Urkel doll can be had for a mere $55.
