Audiomania Records – 1698 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tennessee 38104-6401 Open
Memphis has two top end record stores – Shangri-La and Goner – featured on many best of lists. Buried in the back of a small strip mall, Audiomania Records is not one of them – its more meat and potatoes but worth the dig. Personally, I went for the boxes of 45s which had quite a few worthy acquisitions. Unpriced, Owner Paul Williams, pictured below, gave them a look and a reasonable price. And while I was there, he treated me to some nice conversation. Worth a dig.

The store made VinylRadar’s November 2018 list of the Best Record Stores in Memphis
My most interesting find – the E.F. Theme by Electric Frankenstein – a punk 45 from 1994.
And while we’re at, something completely different – the Curly Shuffle by the Jump N’ The Saddle Band from 1984.
This used to play at every Mets home game in the ’80s.
Permanently closed. Owner passed away, Thursday, March 10, 2022.
prior to paul Williams untimely passing, Audiomania, shifted to on line sales…as they simply shut down their physical store
