BackSpin Records closing

“Well BackSpinners, we have some good news and some bad news,” reads the Airport Blvd-bound record store's Facebook page. “The good news is we are having a huge sale this week. The bad news is, it is a going out of business sale.

“It's not all bad though, it's been a good run from our first spot on Burnet road to our current home on Airport – just short of six years now which has gone by fast. It's been a pleasure to serve up the vinyl while we could, but the time has come to close up shop.

“We want to thank everyone who made it fun and supported us over the years. We hope everyone has a little piece of Backspin both on their record shelves and in their hearts. And if not, it's not too late, because as I mentioned we are having a big sale to clear out stock.

“Starting [Tuesday, Nov. 15], all LPs, CDs, and 45s are 25% off. We have also put a lot of good records in to bulk boxes for $5-$20 so help us out and take one home soon! As the weeks progress, we will offer progressive discounts on remaining stock but come early for best selection!

“Our other store, Friends of Sound on South Congress will remain open. BackSpin's web page and online store (eBay) will remain online as well for some time. So if you need to buy, sell, or trade records, or get a hold of any of us, be sure to check at Friends of Sound or online.

“Also, we will be having at least one and possibly two more in-store performances/parties to close out the year and send the store out on a fun, high note. Stay tuned for info on those.

“Once again, thanks for your support and hope to see you in the bins soon!”
