In Oklahoma, it’s normal to think that only Oklahoma City and Tulsa have decent record shops because, well, they’re the only ones you ever hear about. In that case, you might want to listen up: a new one has recently opened up in Shawnee called Groov’in Records, 722 E. Independence, Suite H, and, though it may not look like it, if you’re a serious record collector, you should probably get down there right now.
While they might not have any of the typical garage sale finds that casual fans might pick up out of kitschy value, for true music obsessives, their vinyl selection is utterly impeccable, featuring long-forgotten platters of wax, all seemingly saved from a cruel fate that would taunt a true audiophile all the way to their sullen grave.
